A/HRC/30/28 monitor the implementation of international human rights recommendations and to facilitate follow-up action by the legislative, executive and judicial authorities. That mechanism provided all citizens with access to information so that they could follow how the State was making progress in implementing its policies. Paraguay was also benefitting from technical assistance from OHCHR in developing specific indicators for the implementation of economic, social and cultural rights, to allow for the disaggregation and monitoring of social and economic data. A comprehensive indicator framework also made it possible to better monitor budgetary allocations for the implementation of rights-based policies. 72. Mr. Muñoz emphasized the need to go beyond traditional development indicators, which usually focused on economic growth and gross domestic product measurements. In this regard, Ecuador had established national goals for “living well”, measured through the use of human rights indicators. The Constitution further provided for broad-based participation in national policy processes and in the preparation of development plans. As a measure of accountability and transparency, the National Assembly had to adopt national development plans before they entered into force. 73. Ms. Aliane underlined the importance of ensuring that women could fully and meaningfully participate in all aspects of national planning and decision-making. Women constituted an invaluable talent pool that had to be used effectively for national development. Through clear political will, Algeria had been able to make considerable progress in the advancement of women, in terms of legal reform and institutional strengthening. 74. In concluding the discussion, the moderator thanked the panellists, delegations, national human rights institutions and non-governmental organizations for their interventions and contributions. He recalled that the aim of the panel discussion had been not to propose one single model for policies, but rather to share good practices that could inspire States in their pursuit of national polices and strategies for the implementation of human rights. One theme that had been emphasized by most participants was the need for national action to be based on participation, inclusion, non-discrimination, accountability and the rule of law. There had also been general agreement on the importance of engaging civil society and national human rights institutions in all stages of national planning and decision-making. Finally, the moderator noted the crucial role of international cooperation, including South-South cooperation, in providing effective technical assistance and capacity-building to all relevant partners. 14
