A/HRC/14/33 50. Field presences in Ecuador, Nepal and Mexico have worked towards strengthening the capacity of national authorities to integrate human rights indicators in the work of their statistic-collecting agencies, and in monitoring and evaluating public policies oriented to fulfil economic, social and cultural rights. For example, OHRHC-Mexico has promoted the elaboration of indicators on the right to health and education, among others, in collaboration with the National Institute for Statistics and Geography and the National Human Rights Commission. OHCHR-Nepal conducted a number of workshops for government officials, the national human rights institution and civil society organizations on human rights indicators and their use of a tool for measuring progress of human rights, especially economic, social and cultural rights. OHCHR-Nepal is working to ensure that human rights indicators are contextualized in Nepal and adopted as a tool for evaluating the implementation of treaty body recommendations. In Ecuador, OHCHR provided training on human rights indicators to the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, the System of Social Indicators, the National Institute of Statistics and Census, the National Secretary of Plan and Development, and the Ombudsman. As a result, these authorities decided to implement a system of justice and human rights indicators to guarantee the coordination, systematization and updating of the information on the situation of respect of human rights and the access of justice. 51. Many OHCHR field presences continued to provide support for capacity-building in the area of economic, social and cultural rights notably through training workshops. Participants in the workshops included government officials, local authorities, parliamentarians, national human rights institutions, non-governmental and communitybased organizations, United Nations staff, representatives of the private sector and the media, human rights defenders, legal and health professionals, academia, trade unions and students. For instance, OHCHR-Uganda continued to work on justice for internally displaced persons in land matters. The respective strategy entailed, inter alia, training on women’s rights including in access to land, and on advocacy skills for women’s groups, community-based organizations, and agro-community organizations. Such capacity strengthening is extended to enable these organized entities to support rights holders, especially women. 52. OHCHR/UNAMA (Afghanistan) undertook a mentoring programme for the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission on economic and social rights that focused on strengthening its capacity to analyse economic and social data from a human rights perspective. This resulted in the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) preparing its fourth annual report on economic and social rights and in the submission by the AIHRC of a shadow report to the Committee on Economic, Cultural and Social Rights. It also conducted three workshops on a human rights-based approach to development in Dai Kundi province, in particular for provincial authorities. 53. In Timor-Leste, UNMIT conducted seven follow-up workshops on economic, social and cultural rights and a human rights-based approach at the district level. As a result six NGOs are monitoring these rights and applying some human rights-based approach principles. The unit also conducted in-house training on monitoring these rights for staff of the National Human Rights Institution in 2009, which resulted in the NHRI monitoring these rights since February 2010. Furthermore, it organized a workshop on the right to adequate housing for representatives of the Government and NGOs. Following the workshop, the housing rights network, consisting of six NGOs, has been conducting research on adequate housing in Timor-Leste. 54. In 2009 the OHCHR Regional Office for Central Asia organized several trainings and a regional workshop to increase awareness of the international standards on the right to adequate housing among human rights activists and NGOs in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Moreover, grants were allocated by the Regional Office to four NGOs to support GE.10-12597 11
