An Easy Guide to Capacity Assessment for National Human Rights Institutions 3.5. AFTER THE ASSESSMENT VISIT At the final meeting the CA team also explains the process after the visit and the anticipated timetable. Promptly after the assessment visit the CA team refines the ‘first rough draft’ report into a ‘second, more refined draft’ and forwards it formally to the NHRI’s leaders and senior managers for their consideration and comment. After receiving the comments, the team finalises the report. The team should attempt to incorporate the comments received into the final report but it cannot and must not misrepresent the views expressed by those who participated in the CA. All views should be accurately represented in the report. When the report is finalised the CA team formally presents it to the NHRI and requests an official response, including an implementation plan, within the agreed timetable. The NHRI is not expected to commit itself in advance to accepting and implementing whatever the CA report proposes. In the MOU it has committed to give serious and careful consideration to the report’s findings and proposals and to respond formally to the report, indicating which proposed strategies and actions it accepts and will implement and with what timetable, which proposed strategies and actions it does not accept and why, and including an implementation plan for accepted strategies and actions. 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 NHRI retains its commitment to reporting on its implementation of the agreed strategies and actions arising from the CA. 15
