Background |
|
Through the National Human Rights Commission’s Strategic Plan Support Project (SPSP), designed based on the requirements of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) as foreseen in the Strategic Plan of NHRC, UNDP Nepal is working with the NHRC to address its immediate needs in terms of strengthening its organizational and competence capacity. Through this project, it is envisaged to significantly contribute towards long-term sustainability of the institution and its capability to carry out the tasks set by itself in the Strategic Plan. The Project is proposing measures supporting the re-organization and further capacity development of the NHRC that are realistically achievable, based on the overall holistic approach and which include day to day working with the partner institution to ensure its ownership and leadership over the process. Project activities will also contribute to an increased level of coordination between human rights institutions, resulting in more effective protection of human rights of vulnerable and marginalized groups of people. The Project has two distinctive Components - Component 1 focusing on the duty bearer side which consists of a thorough development of the organizational capacity through a training needs assessment and a management review that identifies the required areas of support for the internal management including business management, procedures, and financial management as well as the core areas of performance of the NHRC monitoring, investigation, and outreach towards other constitutional commissions, civil society and the GoN and the Component 2 where the ongoing activities of the NHRC are supported, through initiation of a pilot project, focusing on monitoring, investigation, outreach, and on the promotion of rights for people with mental disabilities. The second component basically focuses in supporting the NHRC in the ongoing implementation of its core activities including monitoring, investigation and other outreach in parallel to Component 1, focusing on rights holders. This component also focuses on the use of the gained capacities to promote and protect the rights of people in general and specially the rights of persons with mental disabilities through a newly designed interventions.
