A/HRC/26/54 19. A project in Uganda is intended to provide support for the development of a national human rights action plan. An online database/search engine containing all the recommendations from international human rights mechanisms to Uganda will be developed, to serve as a monitoring tool for implementation of those recommendations, as well as of the National Human Rights Action Plan. This database/online search engine will be administered and maintained by the Human Rights Commission of Uganda, which will help centralize control of information by ensuring the accuracy of the monitoring information to be fed into the database. 20. A project in the Democratic Republic of Congo seeks to: provide logistical and technical support for the establishment of a new National Human Rights Commission; provide support for the adoption of the law aimed at protecting human rights defenders; and strengthen the capacity of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Human Rights tasked with drafting reports and providing follow-up to international human rights mechanisms as part of its international obligation. 21. A project in Guinea Conakry seeks to provide support to the Government to establish an independent human rights commission in conformity with the Paris Principles. A draft law on the establishment of such a commission was prepared in 2011, but the promulgation of the law has been delayed. Support will be provided to ensure that the draft law is in full conformity with the Paris Principles. The primary objective of the project is to ensure that rights-holders are empowered to benefit from the establishment of such a commission. 22. During 2014, the Fund will continue to support civil society organizations in playing an active role in the implementation of UPR recommendations, including in monitoring. A follow-up meeting for civil society in north-east Asia is planned, to examine how civil society organizations can contribute to more effective follow-up to the recommendations at the country level.
