Historique

In 2012 OHCHR Uganda supported the development of a framework for monitoring the implementation of human rights recommendations that Uganda has received from the international human rights mechanisms, i.e. the treaty bodies, the universal periodic review and the special procedures. The framework developed indicators for monitoring the implementation of these recommendations based on the human rights indicators guide developed by OHCHR globally. Furthermore, the framework clusters the recommendations according to theme, mechanism and responsible government institution. The framework was presented to civil society organizations and the Uganda Human Rights Commission in March 2013 where it was also suggested by OHCHR that the framework be further developed into an online database/search engine where human rights organizations including UHRC and the government sectors can easily access, search and identify recommendations that Uganda has received, the action required for implementation (indicators), the responsible government agency for implementation as well as the baseline and current status of implementation. The UHRC has agreed to host the database on their website. The database would be updated regularly and would also include the recommendations that the government has received from UHRC in its annual reports. The database therefore aims at assisting a systematic monitoring of human rights recommendations from both national and international human rights mechanisms, facilitate implementation through the identification of indicators and targets and ensure a more wide dissemination of human rights recommendations that Uganda has received among the general public.

In May 2014 the development of this database started and is now in its final stages. OHCHR is therefore seeking a consultant to work in populating the database with the relevant human rights recommendations, indicators, targets and baselines, as well as to support the Uganda Human Rights Commission in piloting the database with 2 line ministries.
