A/HRC/38/27 the universal periodic review and international human rights standards contained in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; (b) policy documents with regard to the system for the identification of disability, and deinstitutionalization reform; (c) strategic policy documents on minority rights; (d) drafts of the National Human Rights Action Plan and the 2030 National Development Strategy; and (e) the draft of the new health code and law on medicines. The recommendations made during the review of the Republic of Moldova have served as the basis for analysis and advice in this regard. 31. The capacity of the Office of the Ombudsman and the Equality Council were significantly increased by a number of training sessions and coaching on discrimination monitoring, public reporting and anti-discrimination law and policy analysis. For instance, in December 2017, the Office issued a first strategic report on an individual case of gross human rights violations (the Braguta case), which included an analysis of acts of discrimination. 32. OHCHR, with a view to increasing the capacity of stakeholders to advance minority rights, including the rights of Roma people, considerably strengthened several key platforms, such as the Minority Youth Group for Interethnic Solidarity and the National Association of Community Mediators, which in the space of a year developed to national prominence in their respective fields, namely in the defence of minority rights and Roma rights. In December 2017, the Government decided to allocate full funding for all envisaged positions of Roma community mediators, thereby implementing a recommendation often made in the context of the universal periodic review and by the Special Rapporteur on minority issues. Engagement on human rights with local public authorities in the Gagauzia, Taraclia and Basarabeasca regions by means of visits and training sessions laid the foundation for a platform designed to strengthen human rights work in these regions in 2018 and beyond. 33. In Paraguay, the human rights indicators of persons with disabilities of the national plan of action for the rights of persons with disabilities, formulated on the basis of the OHCHR methodology for human rights indicators and linked to the Sustainable Development Goals and targets, were approved in October 2017. In December 2017, with the technical support of OHCHR, the Subcommittee for the Preparation of the National Commission for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Plan approved three phases to be incorporated into the Plan on follow-up by the State, monitoring by civil society and other actors, and evaluation by civil society and the State. 34. The capacity of persons with disabilities and their organizations was strengthened, particularly with regard to claiming their rights and monitoring the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A number of training sessions and workshops were organized by OHCHR for civil society organizations, including new members of the National Commission for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In October 2017, members of civil society organizations and the National Commission, with the technical support of OHCHR, met with representatives of organizations for disabled persons to discuss and request their inputs with regard to the bill on an independent national mechanism for the human rights of persons with disabilities prior to the submission of the bill to Parliament. 35. In the framework of strengthening civil society for active participation in the implementation and monitoring of international human rights recommendations and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Forum on Human Rights and Sustainable Development was held on 1 December 2017 with the technical support of OHCHR and in conjunction with the Commission of the Sustainable Development Goals of Paraguay. On the same day, a new monitoring system for recommendations, SIMORE Plus, was presented. During the presentation, in which representatives of civil society organizations participated, a space for dialogue was sought among the stakeholders involved in the implementation and monitoring of the recommendations made by international human rights mechanisms and the Sustainable Development Goals. 7
