Annex INTEGRATING REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS INTO THE WORK OF NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS 2 QUESTIONNAIRE FOR MEMBER INSTITUTIONS OF THE ASIA PACIFIC FORUM OF NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS. 1. Introduction to this activity At the 13th Annual Meeting of the APF, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in July 2008, APF Forum Councillors considered and formally approved a proposal to undertake joint activities with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in the area of reproductive rights. The principal activity agreed between the APF and UNFPA is the development of a publication on integrating reproductive rights into the work of APF member institutions. The first phase of the APF-UNFPA project will run for six months. The major steps and provisional timelines are as follows: 1. Distribution of a questionnaire to all APF member institutions 2. Return of questionnaires 3. Follow up discussions (principally by phone although some personal meetings may be arranged) with all APF member institutions 4. Development of a case study document outlining opportunities, challenges and good practices in integrating reproductive rights into the work of APF member institutions and incorporation of main findings into a draft strategy for taking this forward 5. Review of the strategy at a dedicated APF workshop 6. Finalisation of the strategy First week July 2010 5 August 2010 Aug-Sep 2010 Sep-Oct 2010 Nov. 2010 (tbc) Dec. 2010 It is anticipated that a second phase will involve enhancing the capacity of NHRIs on reproductive rights issues in partnership with UNFPA. 2. The questionnaire The questionnaire is attached to this note. It is being distributed to all APF member institutions. Responses are due on 5 August 2010. The following points should guide Member Institutions in completing the questionnaire. x The questionnaire is divided into five parts. Some questions only require you to mark a box that most closely matches your response. Most of the questions require a written answer and most will need more space than has been allocated. Please use the Word version to include your answers and take as much space as you wish to do so. Please feel free to attach any documents you think will assist to expand on your responses. x Completion of the questionnaire should be a consultative process. You are being asked for the views and insights of your institution, not of one or two staff members. Note that each institution will be asked to participate in a follow-up discussion that will take place either by phone or in person. It will be important that those to be involved in those consultations have also been involved in completing the questionnaire. 1 APF UNFPA Questionnaire 49
