A/HRC/10/49 page 11 D. Collaboration with the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences 55. Under the agenda item devoted to developments in the United Nations system concerning relevant mandates, the Board met with the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences. The members of the Board and the Special Rapporteur discussed means of collaboration. The Special Rapporteur agreed to contribute to the monitoring and evaluation of grantees, pre-screening processes of new applicants and capacity-building of grantees during her field missions. 56. In line with recommendations 6 and 8 made by OIOS, the Board decided to allocate US$ 10,000 to NGOs to fund grantees so they could attend regional, subregional and national meetings organized in the framework of the field missions of the Special Rapporteur. 57. On 10 September 2008, the Board members and the Special Rapporteur convened a meeting in the framework of the ninth session of the Human Rights Council with interested Governments and NGOs to discuss collaboration between the Fund and the Special Rapporteur. This meeting was attended by representatives of 14 States including Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Canada, Denmark, Israel, Finland, France, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States of America, and representatives of 14 non-governmental organizations. Various States expressed their support for the collaboration between the Fund and the Special Rapporteur. 58. Taking into account the ongoing changes in the human rights machinery, the Board recommended revising OHCHR fact sheet No. 14 on “Contemporary Forms of Slavery”, in collaboration with the Special Rapporteur, in order to include a reference to the activities of the Fund and to the new mandate of the Special Rapporteur. E. Other recommendations 59. The Board reviewed the implementation of its recommendations from the twelfth session in 2007, and expressed its gratitude that to the extent possible these recommendations were ably and competently handled by the secretariat. 60. The Board noted that increased cooperation with OHCHR special procedures mandate holders and field offices would be mutually beneficial, and recommended sharing information on organizations and coordinating work. 61. In light of the increased amount of contributions, application forms received and OIOS recommendations, the Board requested that OHCHR provide the Fund with all necessary administrative and secretarial support to fulfil its functions. The Board requested its Chair to transmit a letter to the High Commissioner concerning the need for further staffing of the secretariat of the Fund. 62. The Board recommended inviting the Programme Coordinator of the International Labour Organization International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (ILO-IPEC) to its fourteenth session and to include an agenda item on cooperation with ILO-IPEC.
