A/HRC/41/25 and humanitarian issues. In addition, the international donor community could better leverage the universal periodic review as an important tool in coordinating bilateral development cooperation in a specific country context, especially when countries that were recipients of their assistance were ready to implement supported recommendations arising from it. The two-prong approach could certainly contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of aid and national ownership. D. Emerging good practices 60. OIF has supported its member States and Governments since 2006 in implementing the mandates of the Human Rights Council and its mechanisms. In particular, it has set up a programme for Governments of French-speaking States to help prepare for the universal periodic review. Since 2008, OHCHR and OIF, in cooperation with host States, have organized five francophone seminars as forums for exchange, reflection and consultation between States and other partners for the effective implementation of the universal periodic review. Those events took place in Morocco in 2008 and 2010, in Tunisia in 2011, in the Republic of Moldova in 2014 and in Senegal in 2018. 61. During the general debate under agenda item 6 at the thirty-ninth session of the Human Rights Council, Canada, on behalf of members and observers of OIF, pointed out that the regional workshops had enabled fruitful exchanges between delegations, which had resulted in a number of concrete proposals for enhancing the implementation of recommendations resulting from the third cycle of the universal periodic review. Those proposals were aimed at reinforcing the efficiency and effectiveness of the mechanism at country level. 62. Members and observers of OIF emphasized the emerging consensus on the following proposals, and considered them to be good practices: (a) Setting up a national coordination mechanism with the means required for its functioning; (b) Use of databases in order to follow up on the implementation of action plans linked with the Sustainable Development Goals by each ministry; (c) Preparation of a midterm report prior to the next review; (d) Use of matrices (recommendations arising from the universal periodic review) prepared by OIF and OHCHR; (e) Delivering training on the universal periodic review, including on the contribution of the Sustainable Development Goals to the implementation of its recommendations; (f) Sharing of good practices within the context of the general debate under agenda item 6 of the Human Rights Council. 63. With respect to the role of parliaments, national human rights institutions and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the OIF statement referred to: (a) The inclusion of NGOs, parliaments and national human rights institutions in national mechanisms for reporting and follow-up, and their involvement in all phases of the process; (b) The creation of a database in order to share action plans with the other stakeholders; (c) Strengthening the capacities of parliaments so as to enhance their role; (d) Inclusion in the national budget of the link between the Sustainable Development Goals and human rights. 64. The Community of Portuguese Language Countries was a main partner with OHCHR in a regional seminar on the universal periodic review and technical consultation 13
