A/HRC/14/33 them in undertaking concrete initiatives to promote the right to adequate housing in their respective countries. Grant projects focus on provision of free legal aid, advocacy for ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, raising awareness about the relevant national legislation on housing rights and international standards as well as advocacy through creation of video reels and films. 55. OHCHR Regional Office for Central America in Panama led the establishment of a regional inter-agency human rights group. One of the initiatives of the group was to organize, in April 2009, training for trainers on the right to food, especially regarding indigenous peoples and Afro-descendant population, with various United Nations agencies and the support of the Regional Directors Team. In September 2009 the Regional Office and WFP organized a technical consultation on the right to food with special focus on children under 2 years of age. The consultation brought together experts, representatives of United Nations agencies and programmes, international cooperation agencies and NGOs. The outcome document calls on OHCHR and WFP, in cooperation with other agencies, to further promote the analysis and action to strengthen the enjoyment of the right to food by children under 2 in the region. 56. OHCHR Regional Office in Chile sponsored and participated in the teaching of two diploma courses on economic, social and cultural rights organized by the Henry Dunant Institute for NGOs, public officials and other stakeholders from the Latin American Region in Santiago. 57. OHCHR Regional Office in Bangkok provided support to capacity-building in the area of economic, social and cultural rights notably through training workshops and worked to raise awareness about economic, social and cultural rights among various stakeholders and has been supporting the establishment of an ASEAN human rights system. 58. Field presences have also worked to raise awareness about economic, social and cultural rights among various stakeholders. For example, to further raise awareness on United Nations standards on resettlement, OHCHR-Cambodia published a bilingual booklet containing frequently asked questions on the right to housing and protection against eviction, general comment No. 7 on forced evictions and the Basic Principles and Guidelines on Eviction and Displacement by the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing. The latter was also published by OHCHR-Mexico. OHCHR-Nepal has engaged in awareness-raising about the human rights of haliyas (bonded labourers working as land tillers) and other socially marginalized and discriminated groups through the medium of forum theatre combined with workshops for local advocacy and capacity-building activities. OHCHR Regional Office in Bangkok contributed to increasing awareness among persons with disabilities by publishing and distributing leaflets about their rights and producing an advocacy documentary dedicated to issues of employment opportunities and accessibility of buildings for persons with disabilities. 59. The MDGs and the right to development also provided field presences with opportunities to approach development and poverty reduction from a human rights perspective. In 2009, OHCHR set a strategic goal to strengthen national accountability in MDG-based development processes and poverty reduction strategies from human rights perspectives. Consultations with OHCHR field presences and assessment missions to Haiti and Liberia during the first half of 2009 helped developing a draft operational framework on the practical use of existing human rights monitoring tools in assessing and monitoring the specific human rights standards and principles most relevant to policies, particularly in the poverty reduction context. The framework provided an analytical mapping of key research initiatives, to be further complemented with country case studies and good experiences. 12 GE.10-12597
