A/HRC/32/51 previous year. The reductions were due to the termination of or substantial reduction in a number of programmes previously covered by the Fund, including those in Ecuador, the Republic of Moldova, Togo and Kosovo.4 The Fund received a total of $13.1 million in voluntary contributions, of which $8.2 million were earmarked and $4.8 million were allocated to the Fund from unearmarked contributions to OHCHR. The resulting deficit at the end of 2015 was covered from existing reserves. During this period, the Fund continued to provide resources for technical cooperation to build strong human rights frameworks at the national level in 30 regions, States and territories. This included support for 15 human rights advisers (Chad, Ecuador (closed in June), Honduras (discontinued after the opening of a country office), Kenya, Madagascar, the Niger, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation, Rwanda, Serbia, South Caucasus (Georgia), Sri Lanka and Timor-Leste); 9 human rights components of peace missions (Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Liberia, Libya, Somalia and the Sudan (Darfur)) and 6 country/stand-alone offices (Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Kosovo (closed August), Mauritania, Mexico, Togo (closed end of June) and State of Palestine). Details of contributions and programmes are provided in the annual report of OHCHR for 2015. 50. Through the Fund, the Office has facilitated efforts made at the country level to incorporate international human rights standards into national laws, policies and practices, and contributed to the establishment and strengthening of national capacities to adhere to these standards. Strengthening the administration of justice and increasing capacities to promote gender equality and women’s rights have also been the focus of numerous programmes receiving support from the Fund. The establishment and functioning of responsive national human rights institutions compliant with the Paris Principles and human rights education programmes continued to receive support. United Nations resident coordinators and country teams have also seen their human rights capacity strengthened by the deployment of human rights advisers.
