Capacity Assessment Manual for National Human Rights Institutions
After the final report is completed, submitted and formally responded to, the CA is over but the process
of CD continues.
The APF, UNDP and OHCHR retain their commitment to supporting the NHRI. They explore with the NHRI
ways in which they can be of assistance in implementing the CA’s strategies and actions and building
capacity, as well as by offering and providing technical assistance and monitoring implementation. The
UNDP regional hub in particular, through regular contact with the UNDP Country Office, is often able to
assist and monitor implementation and the activities of the NHRI generally. It can also assist in identifying
other national, regional and international organisations that might have skills or resources to support
implementation.
The NHRI retains its commitment to reporting on its implementation of the agreed strategies and actions
arising from the CA. Under the MOU for the CA, it commits to reporting on implementation annually to
the APF. A reporting template is in Appendix 10.
