A/HRC/41/21 capacities to formulate human rights indicators relevant to specific contexts and specific human rights challenges. 16. In the Central Asian States of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, disaggregated and quality data remains one of the primary challenges, as does the lack of inclusiveness in its collection, monitoring and evaluation. OHCHR has supported a human rights-based approach to the collection, production, analysis and dissemination of data. It has also helped States to elaborate relevant human rights indicators and include them into national human rights strategies. 17. Linkages between implementation of recommendations from all United Nations human rights mechanisms and the Sustainable Development Goals targets have been built into seven capacity-building activities carried out with national mechanisms for reporting and follow-up and national human rights focal points in Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. In Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, OHCHR has supported the Governments in the elaboration of national human rights action plans, paying specific attention to human rights indicators and creating linkages between the Sustainable Development Goals and national human rights implementation and monitoring mechanisms. 18. During 2018, in Australia, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade rigorously assessed how businesses, government departments, civil society organizations and others have been implementing the Sustainable Development Goals. To design relevant indicators for the Goals, the Australian Bureau of Statistics undertook a data mapping exercise to identify government-held data sources that could be used. Australia is still trying to determine the data collection and analysis methodology for a number of Sustainable Development Goals indicators that currently have no accepted methodology. The Government is also developing a Sustainable Development Goals data platform to make relevant government datasets on Sustainable Development Goals indicators available. It will indicate the status of Australian data collection against all 232 indicators. This platform will help to identify progress and will become a Sustainable Development Goals reporting platform to support future voluntary national reviews. 7 Online databases to follow up on human rights recommendations and Sustainable Development Goals implementation 19. Development policies often require the active involvement of many ministries and partners, as well as access to information. Over the past ten years, one area that has seen progress is the development of online tools to easily access human rights information and recommendations from human rights mechanisms to ensure that national development planning, policies and programmes are informed and guided by these recommendations. The Recommendations Monitoring System (SIMORE) in Paraguay was one of the pioneering online systems, which has since been emulated by other countries, some of which have taken inspiration from SIMORE. Paraguay has helped to establish SIMORE in Chile, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras and Uruguay; and the establishment of SIMORE in Argentina is pending. Paraguay has also received requests for SIMORE from Costa Rica, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and other countries, as well as from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights for use in the Commission’s country and thematic reports.8 20. In 2012, Ecuador set up an information system on human rights called Si Derechos, in response to one of its accepted universal periodic review recommendations. It was developed by the Ministry of Justice, Human Rights and Worship, with the support of OHCHR. Si Derechos provides a report library, and an overview of recommendations and information relating to the 73 human rights recognized in the national Constitution. This system also helps facilitate effective social participation in public affairs, and strengthens transparency and accountability for monitoring progress on human rights implementation, and for mainstreaming human rights across all national and sectorial policies.
