A/HRC/27/30 A. United Nations Indigenous Peoples’ Partnership 6. OHCHR continued to strengthen its engagement in joint activities to promote the rights of indigenous peoples at the country level. In particular, the integration of indigenous peoples’ rights into the work of the United Nations through the United Nations Indigenous Peoples’ Partnership (UNIPP), a joint initiative between OHCHR, the International Labour Office (ILO), UNICEF, The United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). 7. Since May 2011, UNIPP has initiated joint programmes in Bolivia, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Nepal, Nicaragua and Republic of Congo, as well as one regional project in Southeast Asia. Those programmes have brought United Nations partners together in a coherent manner, guided by the principles set forth in the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and ILO Convention No. 169 (1989) concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries. UNIPP has also contributed to capacity-building as well as to the establishment of inclusive dialogue and consultative mechanisms between governments and indigenous peoples. 8. The latest UNIPP publication, UNIPP Success Stories: cooperating to promote and protect indigenous peoples’ rights, provides an insight into UNIPP’s work and illustrates the Partnership’s accomplishments since its inception. Its achievements include the production of 13 studies on thematic issues relevant to indigenous peoples, capacity-building of more than 5,500 key actors and facilitation of dialogue and consultative meetings on the implementation of the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples and of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR). 9. As the lead agency for several projects in the field, OHCHR supported the development of national legislation to protect the rights of indigenous peoples and continued to provide technical advice and expertise to governmental entities. For example, in Nepal, OHCHR, in partnership with the Office of the Resident Coordinator and ILO-Nepal, conducted a training workshop for civil society to discuss the rights of indigenous peoples and the importance of mechanisms to facilitate the participation of indigenous peoples in decision-making processes. The workshop contributed to enhancing dialogue with the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development and its affiliated body, the National Foundation for Development of Indigenous Nationalities, and benefited from the participation of the National Human Rights Commission. 10. In June 2013, in the context of legislative developments concerning the land law reform process, OHCHR briefed members of Parliament in Cameroon with a view to ensuring that the standards contained in the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples were taken into account. In July 2013, in collaboration with UNICEF, UNDP and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), OHCHR organized a training session for indigenous peoples in the Republic of Congo to promote the implementation of the national law on the rights of indigenous populations and the completion of its implementing decrees.
