A/HRC/38/27 mechanisms and to use and integrate consistently their output in all aspects of the Office’s work. 45. OHCHR has focused its support on establishing and/or strengthening national follow-up mechanisms and processes, including for the establishment of standing State institutions, such as national mechanisms for reporting and follow-up. OHCHR will continue to support such mechanisms, while the Voluntary Fund will continue to support States in fulfilling their commitments to implement priority thematic human rights recommendations accepted during their universal periodic review and those from other international human rights mechanisms. 46. OHCHR will continue its efforts to share with States and other United Nations partners the tools available for integrating and mainstreaming the recommendations of international human rights mechanisms into their programmes, such as in United Nations development assistance frameworks and the national development action plans. It will provide States, on their request, with a database that will allow them to plan and monitor the progress of the implementation of recommendations made by international human rights mechanisms. OHCHR will also continue to document good practices that have emerged from the follow-up support process, and share them with States and other stakeholders. 47. In recognition of the close linkage of effective follow-up support to States to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, OHCHR will continue to develop tools that not only enable States to implement the recommendations made by international human rights mechanisms and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, but also help stake other stakeholders to monitor and track the implementation of recommendations and the Goals by States through the more effective use of the funds made available by the Voluntary Fund. 48. OHCHR once again emphasizes the importance of the active participation of other stakeholders in the follow-up process, a key factor in achieving sustained impact. It will therefore continue to explore ways and means by which stakeholders can benefit from the Voluntary Fund, either directly or indirectly, by becoming involved in the technical cooperation and assistance programmes of the States concerned to be assisted by the Fund. 49. While welcoming the recent slight increase in contributions to the Voluntary Fund, OHCHR reiterates its call for more contributions to be made. With further resources, the Fund will enable OHCHR to provide more effective support to States in implementing the recommendations of international human rights mechanisms. 11
