A/HRC/7/58 page 14 C. Closer partnerships with civil society and United Nations agencies 45. Throughout 2007, OHCHR initiated or strengthened partnerships with United Nations agencies and programmes and civil society in relation to economic, social and cultural rights. Collaborative efforts were made to address economic, social and cultural rights issues through working groups, task forces and country teams, particularly with United Nations agencies at the country level. For example, OHCHR-Angola is collaborating with the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in addressing maternal and child health and human rights. In Burundi, the human rights field presence and WFP are collaborating to assess impact of food-aid delivery on the enjoyment of human rights by aid recipients. In Uganda, OHCHR and WHO jointly initiated the establishment of a health and human rights steering committee, chaired by the Ministry of Health, bringing together health and human rights practitioners and policymakers. Joint conferences and workshops to address poverty and human rights issues were held, for example, with UNIFEM and FAO (in the Central African region), and with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UNICEF and UNDP (in Chile for the Latin American region). In several training workshops held at the country level, human rights field presences partnered with other United Nations agencies, such as ILO, UNAIDS, UNICEF, WHO/PAHO, UNFPA and UNIFEM. 46. Collaboration with national human rights institutions has been enhanced. In October 2007, OHCHR participated in the sixth conference of African national human rights institutions held in Kigali, on the theme “The role of national human rights institutions in the protection of refugees, internally displaced and stateless persons”. The declaration adopted at the conference reaffirmed the commitment of national human rights institutions to the Abuja declaration of 10 November 2005, which outlined the resolutions adopted by African national human rights institutions with regard to economic, social and cultural rights. The conference offered a platform to participants to give an account of the actions taken by their respective countries in the promotion of economic, social and cultural rights, in fulfilment of the Abuja declaration made at the previous conference. Substantive presentations were made by human rights institutions from Algeria, Congo, Ghana, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Togo and the United Republic of Tanzania. The Kigali declaration adopted at the sixth conference included a pledge to ensure the sustained livelihood of refugees regarding health and education, among other issues. OHCHR-Mexico entered into an agreement with the national commission for human rights of Mexico to carry out joint projects, including a project to develop human rights indicators for Mexico, also in collaboration with the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Data Processing. The project will start with indicators on the rights to health and education, as well as the rights of persons in prison. Technical cooperation was also provided to the Asia Pacific forum of national human rights institutions in relation to a substantive research on human rights and environment in that region. 47. As a result of this close collaboration, OHCHR has produced several documents for wide dissemination. With various partners, the Office has published the Handbook on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons.4 Other relevant publications prepared 4 Available from the OHCHR website at www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/ pinheiro_principles.pdf.
