A/HRC/5/9 page 15 30. In the area of compensation, UNHCR reports that it was, until recently, leading the Shelter Working Group, bringing together the Council of the South, donor Governments and NGOs in order to set down policy and procedures for the payment of compensation for war-damaged and destroyed homes. The Working Group was instrumental in building links between the Government and parastatal organizations. UNHCR provided administrative backup to the Council of the South to establish and maintain a database. This support role has now been handed over to UN-Habitat. 31. Also according to UNHCR, in 2007 it will support around 30 of the Government’s social development centres located in affected areas in providing essential services to the most destitute and affected populations in southern Beirut, South Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley. Services will include identifying and responding to individuals with specific needs, including legal aid, offering them counselling, medical consultations, day-care centres, vocational training, remedial courses for children and home visits to the most in need. 32. UNHCR reports that it has, with the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre of the Norwegian Refugee Council in Geneva, undertaken a series of training exercises for Governments, agencies and NGOs on the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and has translated all the training materials into Arabic for further use. 33. In addition, UNHCR is establishing a cadre of protection monitoring staff in order to: (a) Fund and supervise protection monitoring projects with international NGOs present in South Lebanon and Beirut; (b) Develop and build capacity of, inter alia, the monitoring skills of 30 social development centre staff; (c) Involve local NGOs in protection monitoring projects, in order to build their capacity to ensure the continuity of protection monitoring in the long run. 34. On 20 April 2007, UNHCR organized a workshop on “protection monitoring” for about 40 staff members (field workers) of two international NGOs: the Danish Refugee Council and Intersos. These NGOs are funded by UNHCR to implement two projects, respectively in the north and south of Lebanon, on evaluating the protection needs of the Lebanese communities. The workshop aimed at providing the participants with the basic knowledge of human rights and legal framework of monitoring, basic principles of monitoring, interviewing techniques and a “what to look for” section on the protection needs envisaged in Lebanon. OHCHR participated in the workshop and provided the training on the human rights and legal framework for protection. III. VULNERABLE GROUPS (CHILDREN) Education 35.
