NHRAP PRACTICES
Human Rights Based Approach and NHRAP
Focus on empowerment and awareness raising at different levels:
District round tables, regional conferences, national NHRAP WorkshopNGOs act as information channels- SGP
Increased efficiency of communication with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Partnership in ICCPR report writing training Increased efficiency of the state reporting mechanism
Tripartite interaction between Human Rights Focal Points, HR trainers and the project Community of Practitioners Resource persons and leaders in NHRAP monitoring and implementation
CONTRAINTS
Parliament elections and Government reform inefficient NHRAP monitoring mechanism
Insufficient motivation of Human Rights Focal Points, especially at central level, but also at local level
The potential of interaction and synergies with other projects insufficiently used
Insufficient funding of NHRAP implementation and communication components
LESSONS LEARNTEfficient NHRAP implementation requires effective participation and cost assessment at the development phase
Sociological survey needs to be carried out at the NHRAP development phase
Risks need to be continuously assessed (e.g. Change in Government and NHRAP Implementation)
Communication/maintaining the dialogue with all partners is crucial!
NHRAP can serve as a platform for synergies between projects
Changes / constraints should be seen sometimes as opportunities-(e.g. Regulation of Coordinating Committee)
Activities should focused, strategic and targeted outcomes (specific action plans, personal commitments, monitoring and evaluation plan etc.)
Empowerment of change agents can be ensured only through the involvement of the decision makers
