A/HRC/34/74 assist not only the State but also country team, and will have a direct impact on the promotion of compliance with international human rights obligations. B. Synergy and partnerships with other United Nations entities 41. During its visits to OHCHR field presences, the Board has continued to pay attention to the synergy and partnerships among United Nations agencies and programmes in the area of technical cooperation in the field of human rights. Through discussions with Resident Coordinators and representatives of other United Nations agencies and programmes, the Board has had the opportunity to understand how the United Nations system-wide commitment to human rights has evolved positively over recent years. 42. Several United Nations initiatives have resulted in important contributions to the mainstreaming of human rights standards at the country level. These initiatives include the capacity-building of United Nations teams on the human rights-based approach to programming, strengthening the capacity of Resident Coordinator systems on human rights, and more extensive deployment of human rights advisers. These initiatives have allowed United Nations teams operating in the field to respond more effectively to the opportunities that the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development offer for the promotion and protection of human rights. 43. During its visit to Guatemala, the Board also noted the positive impact of the Guidance Note on Human Rights for Resident Coordinators and United Nations Country Teams, issued by OHCHR in collaboration with the United Nations Development Group Human Rights Working Group and the United Nations Development Coordination Office. While the publication is seen as an important technical tool, several Resident Coordinators also emphasized to the Board the importance of access to specific good practices and lessons learned so that they are better able to determine the effective courses of action. C. Measuring results of technical cooperation, and the response of the Office of the High Commissioner 44. The OHCHR performance monitoring system, which has been upgraded and improved on an continuing basis, continues to be a critical tool that provides the Board with the information it requires to undertake its functions. During all its field visits, the Board has observed how the system is an indispensable tool for planning entities. Indeed, at its most recent sessions in the field, the Board was particularly impressed by the opportunities that the system provides for greater coordination among all planning entities, which in turn strengthens cooperation and thus maximizes the use of resources. 45. The Board has observed the improvements made in the performance monitoring system to ensure that the financial module is also fully functional. It continues, however, to be concerned at the challenges still experienced in the timely preparation of financial reports and the processing of transactions by Umoja. The Board is of the opinion that the United Nations Secretariat should support OHCHR in ensuring that the deployment of Umoja does not undermine the implementation of OHCHR programmes, but that rather it strengthens further the excellent progress made in becoming a fully results-oriented organization, thanks to the support of the performance monitoring system. D. Main findings, challenges and recommendations 46. The Board has continued to engage with the technical cooperation components of OHCHR relevant to each of its thematic strategies, and to give advice on their 13
