A/HRC/32/51 particular, to access accurate and timely information on expenditures, provide financial reports and make timely payments of grants to partners. That had resulted in numerous delays and problems reported by OHCHR partners on the ground and might have had a negative impact on the credibility and operational capacities of OHCHR, despite the professionalism of its staff. There was clearly an urgent need to resolve the teething problems relating to UMOJA and improve administrative and financial arrangements. Such improvements would also facilitate the Office’s resource mobilization efforts. 11. The Board analysed with the relevant services of the Office the trends of the Fund over the past seven years. It noted with great concern the drop in contributions compared with 2009, when total income had stood at $21 million; the demands for technical cooperation support had nonetheless grown tremendously. In 2015, total income had shrunk to $13 million, while the needs and requests for technical cooperation support had amounted to $17.5 million. The analysis is annexed to the present report. 12. The Board held discussions with relevant staff on the Office’s work in the area of migration. The Board understood the decision taken in 2013 to integrate migration across all the thematic strategies rather than maintaining it as a distinct thematic strategy. The risk of such mainstreaming, however, was that it could increase the number of activities on migration while at the same time cause a disconnect between them as an integral part of the larger plan aiming at achieving visible and tangible overall results. The Board was pleased to note that OHCHR, through the establishment of a multidisciplinary task force, was striving to minimize such risks. Certainly, the crisis in mass movement of people in 2015 had posed unexpected challenges for the Office. There was no prospect of the crisis abating in the near future; indeed, it could become even worse. Under those circumstances the Office needed to plan to continue allocating a high priority to addressing the human rights issues arising from this mass movement of people. It would be important also from a technical cooperation perspective to ensure that the voices from the field were taken fully into account when designing the strategic direction on this complex issue, ensuring that the plans reflected the realities and possibilities for real impact on the ground. 13. The briefings with the Chief of the Rule of Law, Equality and Non-Discrimination Branch and her team and with the Chief of the Human Rights and Economic and Social Issues Section during recent sessions of the Board were found to be particularly useful by the Board. In the Rule of Law Section, for example, the synergies and mutual support between the field presences and Geneva had been clearly demonstrated during the Board’s visits to Mexico, Tunisia and Cambodia and, more recently, Ukraine. For example, in Ukraine, the cooperation and support in preparing the quarterly reports and providing legal advice on the derogation of certain provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights were, in the view of the Board, excellent practices. It encouraged the Office to ensure wider access by the field presences and external partners to the thematic information sheets produced by the Rule of Law, Equality and Non-Discrimination Branch, which the Board had found to be a key resource in the area of technical cooperation and advisory services. 14. The Board also confirmed throughout all its field visits that demands for specific technical cooperation in the area of economic and social rights continued to grow. While the Office had in recent years invested in strengthening its human capacity to respond adequately, it had been obliged, owing to recent funding constraints, to substantially limit or to discontinue relevant staff training. The Board considered that that was an area requiring particular attention in midterm and long-term strategies to ensure support and follow-up training to strengthen capacity and yield effective results. The results observed by the Board, for example in the area of land rights and housing rights, when the Office had the financial and human resources, were particularly impressive. All the constituencies that the Board had met during its field visits had particularly valued the Office’s contributions, 5
