A/HRC/26/51 During the field visits conducted over the past two years, the Board has been able to test the usefulness of the system in facilitating monitoring of the implementation and performance of technical cooperation projects, adjusting them when needed in real time to changing situations, as well as the results of the latest improvements in the system. 43. The Board commends OHCHR for its efforts during the period under review to continue investing in the system. The upgrades implemented since the previous briefing to the Board, including the financial module, as well as the efforts to ensure full use of the system by Headquarters structures also, were assessed very favourably by the Board. The system is proving a critical contribution for OHCHR to be a fully results-based organization, transparent and accountable to all stakeholders. The Board encourages the United Nations Secretariat to consider the OHCHR tool as a good practice to be taken into consideration when developing results-based management systems. E. Field reference manual and other guidance tools on technical cooperation 44. As one of the vehicles of OHCHR to fulfil the mandate of the High Commissioner, technical cooperation is an effective means for overcoming in-country knowledge and capacity gaps, and for supporting efforts made by the country to address those gaps. By strengthening its capacity to share experiences and to pay attention to systematically documenting good practices and lessons learned, the Office is increasing its ability to raise its profile in supporting States through technical cooperation, as well as being able to facilitate experience-sharing between States, an increasing demand received by the Board during its recent visits to the field. The Board was briefed during its sessions, both in Geneva and in Mexico, on recent efforts to strengthen knowledge management tools in the area of technical cooperation. 45. OHCHR continued to advance towards the finalization of an OHCHR field reference manual on technical cooperation, aimed at providing guidance to its field presences and staff on the approach of OHCHR to technical cooperation and to ensure access, in a single document, to OHCHR policies, practices and procedures relating to technical cooperation. OHCHR is currently revising its contents and making the necessary adjustments in view of the new programming cycle 2014-2017, the upgrades in the performance monitoring system and other relevant internal tools. 46. The Board particularly welcomed the efforts of the Office to strengthen the tools for access to information, policies and guidance and sharing of experiences by human rights advisers to United Nations Resident Coordinators and United Nations country teams. Human rights advisers have proven to be an effective means to ensure the integration of human rights into the programmes and activities of the United Nations teams on the ground and to strengthen their human rights capacities. Through this in-country support, the United Nations certainly increases its capacity to ensure optimization of the use of resources on the ground for increased coordinated work in the area of human rights, including on technical cooperation and advisory services efforts with the States interested and concerned. OHCHR, in close cooperation with the Development Operations Coordination Office, has developed an internal Internet-based tool that is easily accessible to all human rights advisers, and includes a sharing point that allows them to learn and share experiences, ideas and approaches being used across regions. The Board had the opportunity to observe how human rights advisers receiving financial support from the Voluntary Fund for Technical Cooperation in 2013 were making active use of this tool. 47. The Board encourages OHCHR to continue to develop this type of initiative for all types of field presences receiving support from the Voluntary Fund for Technical 11
