A/HRC/38/28 26. The “data revolution” for sustainable development must fully embrace not only human rights-sensitive indicators, but also a human rights-based approach to the collection, production, analysis and dissemination of data. To this end, OHCHR has developed a guidance note for Member States. The guidance, on a human rights-based approach to data, brings together a set of principles, recommendations and good practices on data collection and disaggregation, building on the key principles of transparency, privacy, participation, self-identification and accountability. The indicator framework must give effect to the 2030 Agenda’s strong commitment to the collection and disaggregation of data to measure progress in leaving no one behind — especially individuals and groups suffering discrimination. Efforts are ongoing to ensure that data is collected and disaggregated by all grounds of discrimination that are prohibited under international human rights law. This includes the development of new partnerships, methods and data sources, including nontraditional data sources. 27. In Kenya, as a result of support provided by OHCHR, the National Bureau of Statistics and the National Commission on Human Rights signed a memorandum of understanding in 2017, which establishes the framework for their institutional collaboration on the development of human rights and Sustainable Development Goals indicators and on data collection. A number of concrete activities have been agreed upon, including a joint review of the Statistics Act of 2006, and preparation for the population and housing census that is due in 2019. The memorandum of understanding will facilitate, over time, the inclusion of Goals 10 and 16 by the National Bureau of Statistics in its measurements, which will in turn realize a full capturing of human rights obligations and concerns. There are plans to replicate the Kenyan experience in other countries, by bringing together data producers and data users, involving them in specific and practical discussions on how they plan to measure the implementation of the Goals and on how they can reinforce each other’s work and ensure no one is being left behind and thus contribute to the implementation of national Sustainable Development Goal road maps. 28. In Uganda, planning is under way for a similar project aimed at building the capacity of the national Sustainable Development Goals task force, technical working groups, United Nations agencies, the national human rights institution, civil society organizations and academia on human rights indicators and the human rights-based approach to data, and to explore potential partnerships. 29. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics has completed a comprehensive mapping of Sustainable Development Goals indicators available in the State of Palestine, which OHCHR has complemented by providing an analysis of the relevance of such indicators for monitoring the implementation of the national policy agenda and the seven human rights treaties that the State of Palestine has acceded to. The Government used the reporting process under the seven treaty bodies to identify priorities and data needs in relation to the congruent human rights treaty provisions, and related priorities in connection with the Sustainable Development Goals and the national policy agenda. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics and the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights signed a memorandum of understanding in April 2018 to cooperate more systematically on the operationalization of the human rights-based approach to data, which includes cooperating on the development, compilation and dissemination of human rights indicators, such as Sustainable Development Goals indicators on violence against journalists and human rights defenders, on the prevalence of discrimination and on conflict-related deaths. 30. The Government of Mexico, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UNWomen) agreed to establish a Global Centre of Excellence on Gender Statistics to pool efforts in the fields of research, innovation, cooperation, and exchange of experiences for the effective adaptation, implementation and monitoring of international commitments on women’s rights and gender equality. Hosted by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, the Centre of Excellence will benefit substantially from the National Institute’s experience, leadership and institutional and technical capacity to promote more, and improved, gender statistics. The Centre of Excellence has the following objectives: to foster innovations through an innovation lab; to provide technical assistance and training services to national statistical offices and user communities (particularly in Central America); and 8
