OHCHR also works with regional and subregional organizations to strengthen regional arrangements for human rights promotion and protection, including through the exchange of good practices and experiences of human rights-based, participatory and inclusive strategies for development and poverty reduction. 10. The Office receives strategic policy guidance for its technical cooperation work from the Board of Trustees that oversees the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Technical Cooperation in the Field of Human Rights and the Voluntary Fund for Financial and Technical Assistance for the Implementation of the Universal Periodic Review — two key financial sources of the technical assistance provided by OHCHR. As part of its advisory role, the Board has identified several key elements for effective technical cooperation, as indicated in the report of the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Technical Cooperation in the Field of Human Rights (A/HRC/26/51, para. 27). Many of those elements are reflected in the practices highlighted in the present report. III. National experiences of support for inclusive and participatory development and poverty eradication A.
