Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions Participating in a panel on NHRI activities at the national, regional and international levels, the APF underlined the importance of the relationship between NHRIs and civil society organisations and suggested a number of areas for future ANNI and NHRI collaboration, which informed ANNI’s strategic planning and will be incorporated into the outcome document from the meeting. 4.4 Member satisfaction with APF advocacy Evaluation findings Outcome indicator: Advocacy Performance rating: On track The APF seeks to play an active role at the international and regional level in the protection and promotion of human rights. One function of the APF is to advocate common policy positions adopted by the APF membership. Member satisfaction with the role played by the APF in UN processes during 2011–12 remains high, but has fallen slightly from last year, as shown in Figure 12. This is largely due to starkly divergent ratings given by several members in relation to the work of the APF in influencing the CSW and OEWG. The substantial majority of members highly value all work done by the APF.
