1. Purpose of the facilitation guide
This guide is a complete and updated reference to deliver the in-country orientation workshop for
UN Country Teams (UNCTs) on a Human Rights-Based Approach to development cooperation and
Results-Based Management (HRBA-RBM). HRBA and RBM are two of five UN programming
principles. Strengthening the quality and coherence of country programming is a UNDG priority.
In 2006, a Common Learning Package (CLP) on HRBA was developed by a working group of the
Action 21 Interagency Task Force. The CLP contained a resource guide and training and learning
materials, based on the collective experience of task force members. In response to country
demands, RBM was added to the content of the in-country workshops. From 2006, thru to end
2010, 41 country and regional workshops were conducted for UNCTs and partners, with an average
evaluation score by participants of 5.3 out of 6 on the relevance of the workshop for their work.
There is widespread agreement that the package is a success.
In the four years since the CLP was developed, there have been a range of changes to international
and regional human rights mechanisms, and a great many lessons about how to strengthen the
delivery of the in-country HRBA-RBM workshop. In November 2009, the UNDG established the
Human Rights Mainstreaming Mechanism (HRM) to continue the work of the Action 2 Inter-Agency
Task Force. In order the reinforce their achievements, address changes to human rights
mechanisms, and incorporate training lessons, the workshop design and materials were
substantially updated and improved in 2011 by a new, larger inter-agency group2. This is the result.
As before, the primary audience for the workshop is the UNCT, with particular emphasis on the
Resident Coordinator, Heads of Agencies, and senior UN programme staff.
2. How to use this facilitation guide
Part 1 explains the purpose of this guide. Part 3 provides the learning objectives for the in-country
workshop and the key messages to be delivered, and Part 4 shows the standard workshop agenda.
Part 5 describes important workshop preparations, including a learning needs assessment, adapting
the agenda to the knowledge levels and expectations of participants, and preparation of the
facilitation team. Part 6 is the core of this guide. It describes the details of each session, including:
 The purpose of the session;
 The expected results;
 An outline of session activities and approximate timing;
 Instructions for each activity and the materials needed, such as presentations, handouts, and materials needed for group work; and
 Optional activities and lessons from past workshops.
The second action (Action 2) of the Secretary-General’s report “Strengthening of the United Nations: an agenda for further change”
(A/57/387) proposed that “the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights will develop and implement a plan, in
cooperation with the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) and the Executive Committee for Humanitarian Affairs (ECHA), to
strengthen human rights-related United Nations actions at the country level.” The Action 2 Inter-Agency Task Force comprised:
OHCHR, UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, and UNIFEM, in collaboration with the UN System Staff College (UNSSC).
2 The HRM group contributing to the 2011 update is co-chaired by UNFPA and UNSSC, and includes: FAO, ILO, OHCHR, UNAIDS,
UNDOCO, UNDP, UNEP, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNOWA and WHO.

3. Workshop objectives and key messages
Objectives:
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the value of human rights in development
2. Explain the contributions of a HRBA and RBM to UN and national programming processes
3. Apply the key elements of HRBA and RBM to strengthen country analytic work and the UNDAF
Key Messages

Human rights are at the heart of the UN Charter & every aspect of the UN’s work

By focusing on the quality of the development process, a HRBA contributes to more sustainable and equitable results

HRBA is central to advancing and promoting gender equality

HRBA is about helping the governments to fulfill the commitments they have made.

Human rights standards and principles help to define the results and guide the process of development.

A HRBA helps the UN and partners to analyse major national challenges with 4 critical questions:
» Who has been left behind?
» Why? Which rights are at stake?
» Who has to do something about it?
» What do they need, to take action?

The practice of RBM…
» Helps us to connect the analysis of country challenges to evidence about progress to date and lessons-learned
» Enables us to engage partners to formulate SMART results, and develop mechanisms and processes to ensure regular
monitoring and reporting on UNDAF performance
» Demands working mechanisms for UNDAF monitoring and reporting and the use of UNDAF performance information
by the UNCT and partners for decision-making

A HRBA brings depth and credibility to our practice of RBM by telling us…
» The right questions to ask
» The kinds of changes we should be aiming for
» How to measure, monitor, and report on change with stakeholders

5. Workshop preparation
Audience & Timing
The UN Country Team (UNCT) is the main audience for the HRBA-RBM workshop. It can be
adapted for audiences that include implementing partners from government and civil society.
Participants will benefit from this workshop at any point in the UNDAF process. It is most
relevant during Step 1: Road Map and Step 2: Country Analysis4. For maximum effectiveness
participants should be UN staff serving on thematic groups that will engage in country analysis
exercises and UNDAF preparation. The workshop can make a practical contribution to the
country analysis step by analysing real country challenges. Most workshops are 2.5 days,
depending on the needs of participants. Participants should number no more than 30 to allow
for a meaningful and interactive experience.
Learning Needs Assessment
A Learning Needs Assessment (LNA) is essential to understand the profile of the participants,
gauge their level of knowledge about HRBA and RBM, and identify expectations for the event. In
consultation with the facilitation team, UNSSC will offer the LNA as an on-line survey about 3
weeks before the event. Reminders will be sent periodically. The LNA will also serve to highlight
participants who have a high level of knowledge and expertise. These participants may be
involved further in the workshop delivery.
Adapting the Workshop Agenda
The facilitation team, in consultation with UNSSC, will use the LNA results and their
understanding of the participants’ backgrounds and country situation to adjust the workshop
agenda.
Facilitation Team
The standard workshop is best delivered by a team of 3: 1 facilitator and 2 resource persons
with expertise in the application of HRBA and RBM to the UNDAF process. Experienced
participants can be involved as resource persons or presenters, helping to ground the workshop
with their experiences. Facilitation team members will need up to 2 days to review this
facilitation guide, related learning materials, and the HRBA Resource Guide. Normally, UNSSC
will host a teleconference between the facilitation team members and the workshop hosts
(normally the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office, RCO). This will help team members to
familiarise themselves with the country situation, including the level of UNCT support for the
workshop. Time permitting, brief key informant discussions with the RC and Heads of Agencies
are a good idea to understand their expectations and how they intend to position HRBA and
RBM in their UNDAF process.
Background Reading
4
See UNDAF Guidance Package, http://www.undg.org/?P=232
4
Participants should receive the following required background reading at least 5 working days
before the workshop. These documents are available at the learning materials pages of the UNSSC
website5 (“Download Resources”; “Resources on HRBA/RBM”).
 The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
 The Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA) to Development Cooperation - Towards a
Common Understanding Among UN Agencies
 Glossary of terms for the HRBA-RBM workshop
 Frequently asked questions about a HRBA to development cooperation
 The Road Map for the country UNDAF process (from Resident Coordinator’s Office, if
available)
Workshop Set-up
Annex A contains a note to assist with workshop set-up and a suggested diagram for the
workshop room. An in-country secretariat or support team is essential to assist with the set-up
and support delivery of the workshop. This will be discussed in advance by UNSSC and the
workshop hosts (normally the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office, RCO).
6. Session designs
Resources for each session can be found at the learning materials pages of the UNSSC website.
Session folders are organized according to the standard workshop agenda.
Sessions 2, 3, 5, and 7 require additional preparations before the workshop:
 Session 2 requires presentations by country resource persons on the development and
human rights situation. They can be from government or civil society.
 Session 3 is a Power Walk exercise. It simulates a community in ‘development’ with
participants taking on different roles and responding to different questions. You may need
to adapt the roles and questions to the country context.
 Session 5 involves a human rights-based analysis of actual country development challenges.
There are 2 important preparations:
» The UNCT should select 3 to 5 major development challenges for analysis during the
workshop and prepare a brief summary of each; and
» For each challenge, the facilitation team will prepare a handout with the relevant
human rights standards, and concluding observations and recommendations from
recent treaty body reports.
 Session 7 on Next Steps must be grounded in country realities. The facilitation team should
discuss with the UNCT and RCO about different concrete opportunities for integrating HRBA
and RBM into the UNDAF process. The RCO is expected to present the UNDAF road map. A
list of the most realistic opportunities is the starting point for this session.
 Last, certificates can be provided to participants during the closing session. The template is
available from UNSSC.

- This is a brief card exercise done in plenary
- The cards have information on 2 sides: one side has a substantive
programmatic focus, the other has related human rights standards
- At the back of the room on the floor, spread out the cards so they can
be easily seen, with the substantive side showing
- Ask them to walk among the cards and pick one that relates closely to
their work
- Only once all participants have a card, ask them to flip it over and
read the reverse side
- Debrief 5-7 participants and their cards, randomly, by asking the
participants to:
a) explain their substantive choice,
b) read aloud the information on the reverse,

c) reflect on the extent to which they have used the standard/
mechanism listed
- Ask remaining participants if anyone has a ‘burning’ connection with
the information on their card, that they want to share
- Last, ask participants to reflect on the cards that were not chosen –
does this say anything about UN programming work?
- Conclude with the message that every programmatic job in the UN
system relates to very specific human rights standards and
mechanisms; that many of these have the standing of international as
well as national law; that the UN is ideally placed to advocate for their
use, and that this workshop will help them with tools and processes for
doing so
Materials
Trainer notes:
- The facilitation team should share responsibility for the elements of this session amongst themselves.
This ensures that participants recognize all the members of the team
- Team members should be upbeat, and enthusiastic about the workshop
- Be sure to sort out all ‘protocol’ issues with the UNCT before the start, in terms of flow of speeches,
who introduces the RC etc.
- The ground rules capture their expectations about the way the workshop will be conducted. They are
their rules – don’t set them for them! Be sure to write ground rules on a flip chart and post where they
can be referred to, if necessary.

Trainer Notes:
- Remember that the slide set has detailed notes. Read them carefully!
- This session requires some human rights background. Read the resource package and the slides
note carefully. If you have questions contact: [email protected]
- Ask in advance if there are participants with a legal background or human rights experts in the
room. Invite them to clarify any points, if needed.
- Do some additional reading on the regional human rights protection systems that are applicable to
the country in which you are running the training
- Remind participants that they read about the ‘fundamental’ human rights in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (background reading)
- There might be questions before you finish the presentation. You might need to take them
especially if it is a ‘burning question’ but be careful not to disrupt the flow too much
- During the Q & A it is useful to cluster the questions so that the resource person is able to answer
more effectively
- Throughout the Training, it is important to highlight examples relating to gender equality, and to

the conflict and humanitarian contexts. Actively seek these examples from the group, and refer to
the resource package in advance, so that you will also be able to provide these examples.
- The specific boundaries of the role and responsibility of the RC and HC and UNCT members in
human rights can lead to controversy during the Q&A
- During this session and the following one, the issue of the role of the UN in enforcing humanitarian
law could come out, especially if you are running the workshop in a country that is emerging from
conflict or has experienced conflict in the past. Be prepared and consult the resource package
- Be prepared in case of power cuts! Keep copies of the presentation at hand, ready for distribution.

2. How well do the issues correspond to the clusters of concerns
(cards) that were identified? If not, why not?
- Groups to write their findings on 1 flip chart
- Copies of recent
Treaty Body
reports (@5-6
pages of each
report)
- Flip chart
(:10)
Plenary debriefing
- Ask each table to report their main findings (<2 minutes each)
- Plenary sum-up of commonalities and differences
Note: See design for session 5. If the UNCT has been unable to identify
major challenges for the analysis exercise, the issues highlighted in this
activity could provide a short list.
Trainer Notes:
- The country resource person may need additional guidance to help them prepare this presentation.
Clarify whether the audience is the UNCT alone, or if it includes government and civil society partners.
The presentations could deliver 3 key messages about: Challenges, Progress, and Aspirations for how
human rights action could assist in meeting development targets. Additional questions to help the
presenter frame their presentation are listed below:
- Which are the biggest development challenges in your country and how do they relate to human
rights concerns (including laws, policies and mechanisms) in the country?
- What do you see as the major human rights challenges confronting your country?
- Based on human rights information available who do you consider as ‘most vulnerable’?
- What do you consider as the biggest achievements made by the country in terms of human rights?
- What human rights instruments are ratified by your country? Are they available in local languages?
- What are the human rights provisions in your constitution?
- What national laws are enacted to enforce ratified instruments?
- What are the major human rights institutions in your country? What is their mandate?
- What is the situation of the judiciary with regards to the enforcement of human rights instruments?
Is access to justice an issue? How is it being addressed?
- How strong/weak are they, their geographic presence
- What can the UN contribute to address the development and human rights challenges in
partnership with the Government?

Session 3: Power walk
Time: 30 min
Purpose
-
To simulate a community in ‘development’, where everyone starts off as equals, but
experience very different outcomes based on their abilities to claim their rights.
Expected Results
-
-
Participants have a tangible understanding of the disparities that exist in any society and
their causes (mainly power), and consider how to address these disparities through
programming.

based on their ‘character’. In the second version statements are read
aloud, and participants may reflect on their ‘character’ and choose
whether to move and if forward or backward. You will need at least 30
minutes for this exercise so as to allow enough time for the debriefing
and discussion. The issues that emerge during the debriefing illustrate
and provide a rationale for the HRBA common understanding. This is
presented in session 4.
Trainer Notes:
- Demonstrate the statements and steps, so that everyone understands the process
- If using the version with the statements, read these slowly and loudly. In larger groups, or if outside,
you may need 2 resource people to call out and repeat the statements
- Remind participants to stay where they are for the debriefing. Sometimes at the end of the walking
statements, participants will group together again
- When asking some participants to read out their role, it may be necessary to repeat the information
loudly for all.

Optional Exercise: Refresher on the main steps and key elements of
the UNDAF process
This is an optional refresher exercise on the UNDAF process. It is
appropriate for audiences with large numbers of new programme staff,
or where the UNCT wants to ensure that participants have a common
understanding of the main steps and elements of the UNDAF process
and recent changes to guidelines. Discuss the need for this activity with
the RCO prior to the workshop. Typically, it would precede the
presentation and discussion, above.
- Pre-prepare a flip chart with the term: ‘UNDAF Process’ at the top
- In plenary ask participants to call-out the main steps of the UNDAF
process and write these on the flip chart: (1) Road Map, (2) Country
Analysis, (3) Strategic Planning, (4) Monitoring and Evaluation
- Inform participants that we include ‘Programme Planning and
Implementation’ for a complete picture of the programme cycle.
- In 4 table groups, give participants a set of jumbled UNDAF process
cards, and ask them to match each of the main UNDAF steps with the
key elements that occur during each step
- Debrief the actual steps and key elements of the UNDAF process
using a pre-prepared UNDAF process wall chart (use slide as model)
- Highlight recent major changes to the guidelines, per HO: Changes to

Session 5: Implementing the HRBA: A 3-step approach to analysis
Time: 100 min on Day 1 (@ 4 hours total )
15
Purpose
-
To understand the 3 main steps for conducting a HRBA to analysis and apply them to real
country development challenges
Optional: To reflect on the gender dimensions in the analysis and address root causes that
enforce gender inequality among rights holders and duty bearers.
Expected Results
Participants are confident to apply a HRBA to analysis. They can:
- Undertake causality analysis of development challenges to identify rights that are not
being met or at risk of violation;
- Build on their causality analysis to identify rights holders and their claims, and duty
bearers and their corresponding obligations;
- Use this role-pattern analysis to identify the critical capacity gaps that prevent rights
holders from claiming their rights, and duty bearers from meeting their obligations
- Apply the human rights principles and standards to strengthen their overall analysis.
Timing
At this point on day 1, you will only be able to start the first step: Causality analysis.
The success of this session depends on 2 important preparations prior to the workshop:
Preparation
1. Selection of development challenges for analysis
The UNSSC and the facilitation team will request the UNCT to select 3 to 5 major development
challenges for analysis during the workshop. These should come from challenges that have been
identified in National Development Plans and/or identified as possible challenges for
Government-UN cooperation in the next UNDAF. By analyzing ‘real’ country challenges, the
workshop will make a practical contribution to the country analysis step. The UNSSC and
facilitation team will request the RC’s Coordination Office to prepare brief summaries (2-3p) of
each development challenge, using data from national reports and UNCT supported analysis.
2. Human Rights Standards Handouts
For each development challenge, the facilitation team will prepare a handout that lists the
relevant human rights standards and concluding observations and recommendations from
recent treaty body reports. Summarised in about 5 pages, these handouts enable participants to
see, first-hand, the practical value of human rights standards and treaty body reports. Templates
for the ‘HR Standards Handouts’ are available in the resources for this session.

Group Exercise: Causality Analysis
Review the country challenges that were selected for analysis in the
workshop (normally, 3 to 5 challenges)
Show group work slide
Allow participants to choose one challenge to work on, based on their
experience and interest. This creates the groups.
Designate a table in the room for each challenge and ask participants
to move to the table of their choice. Balance the groups as needed,
then review the group work instructions:
(:45)
In groups:
Read the summary of the development challenge (if provided by RCO)
Work together to do a causality analysis, as follows:
- Brainstorm the major immediate, underlying, and root causes of the
development challenge
- Use cards and paper to create a causality diagram or “problem tree”
- Indicate the flow of causality using arrows
- Remind groups to be as specific as possible. For example, a group
analyzing the causes of the HIV epidemic should not identify “poor
policy environment”. More specific causes might be: “Policy on
compulsory testing prevents PLHIV from using health services” or
“Criminalization of HIV transmission discourages VCT”.

Optional: Apply human rights principles to strengthen the analysis
Recent experience has shown that it is best to reflect back on the HR
principles once participants have completed some analysis on their
own, using a real country challenge. This makes the learning more
applied.
- In plenary, ask participants to call out the 6 human rights principles
- Write these on flip chart and highlight the 3 operational principles:
Equality and non-discrimination, Participation and inclusion, and
Accountability and rule of law. Distribute the handout.
- Give each group, randomly, one of the 3 operational principles
- Ask them to make up to 3 changes in their analysis to make it better
reflect that principle
- In plenary, ask groups to briefly present their changes (1 minute per
group) and debrief
- Time permitting, the HR resource person should highlight 2-3 good
examples where one or more of the HR standards and principles have
emerged clearly in the analysis, or where they are missing.

- Ask groups to make up to 3 changes so that their analysis better
reflects how women and men experience the challenge differently
Trainer Notes:
- Participants will be very engaged in these steps. Be flexible about allocating more time when you
see the groups are willing to work more deeply on the analysis
- Remind participants that resources are not financial resources only. They must consider:
Knowledge, Resources (human, technical and financial), Organizational abilities, Responsibility –
motivation – leadership, and Authority. These give a more holistic view of claim/duty relationships.
- The group work for this session should be photographed and typed-up, especially when it will be
used as part of the UNCTs country analysis
- If an “energiser” is needed, give participants separate tags with names of treaties and conferences
and others with dates and ask them to find their pairs.

Rotating Gallery:
- In this exercise, each group has the opportunity to “visit” and provide
feedback on the work of other groups
Invite one group member to remain at the group’s analysis to clarify
and respond to questions. Emphasise that they should not present the
group’s work, but rather stand-by to clarify and answer questions
- The other members of each group will rotate every 7 to 10 min to visit
and comment on the work done by other groups.
- Visitors should leave comments and suggestions on post-it notes.
- Ask participants to reflect critically on:
Causality Analysis: Is there a logical flow in the causality analysis and
clarity of problems, particularly at lower level of framework?
Role-Pattern Analysis: Are the claims and obligations intuitive and
presented in plain language – when you read an obligation can you
imagine a corresponding action?
Capacity Gaps: Is there sufficient attention to capacity gaps that
address the lower levels of the framework – related to critical gaps in
legal, institutional and policy and budgetary frameworks?
HR Principles: Is the HR principle adequately reflected in the analysis?
Gender Dimension: How well does the analysis reflect the different
ways that women and men experience the development challenge?
Will the capacities address the root causes of gender inequality?

Trainer Notes:
- If time is short, just do one rotation. If you have set-up the group work so that 2 table groups are using
the same challenge, have these 2 groups visit each other.
‘Chaotic’ gallery (shorter alternative):
- Allow participants to roam individually, as they please. This is a “chaotic” gallery. It takes less time, and
you must assume that not every participant will visit each group. Rather, participants will spend time on
the analyses that interest them, and with which they have experience.
Optional: Reality check and energizer
Time: 40 min
Purpose
-
To reflect on the HRBA common understanding and the 3-step methodology and discuss
how well a HRBA is being applied in the current UNDAF cycle
Expected Results
-
Participants highlight the different ways that a HRBA is and is not being applied in their
current programming work
Preparation
- The reality check discussion depends on having at least 2 to 3 participants who can reflect on
the use of HRBA in the current cycle, including preparation of the CCA or country analysis and
the UNDAF. If there are none, or participants are mostly new to the HRBA, you may opt to skip
this discussion.
- The team should also discuss the best timing for the energizer. It could be used here, following
the group work using the HRBA 3-step. It could be used following the first presentation on day 1,
depending on your audience and the mood in the room.

Activity
Discussion: How well are we applying a HRBA in our programming
work today?
Introduce the session with the following key points:
- There are no UNCTs in the world that apply a HRBA perfectly in their
UNDAF process. UNCTs have to be opportunistic and strategic about
where and when to apply the HRBA, and practice is highly variable.
- In this discussion we want to highlight the times and places when you
did apply elements of the HRBA, and help to gauge how well you think
you are doing.
Materials
In plenary, ask participants to recount, briefly, when and how they
have applied a HRBA in the current UNDAF process, the situation and
partners involved?
You may want to probe on different elements such as: CCA or other
country analysis exercise, theme group work, work on government-led
committees, UNDAF preparations, UNDAF monitoring and reporting
exercises, etc.
- Note all points on flip chart and summarise the main applications
- Ask participants if they see any patterns in the uses of HRBA
Inform participants that the next steps session on day 3 will enable
them to plan means and ways to strengthen their application of HRBA.

Optional Energizer: The Human Rights ‘Flip’ Quiz
This energizer will refresh participants’ knowledge of basic human
rights concepts and definitions.
In table groups…
1. Give each group a set of cards which they place face down on the
table.
2. Ask participants to shuffle the cards always keeping them face
down
3. Ask the first question
4. Groups ‘flip’ their cards to find the correct answer
5. The first group to raise the card and shout-out the answer is given
1 point (Team members help to adjudicate, ties allowed)
6. Cards are replaced face-down, and next question is asked
7. Proceed for 10-15 questions, depending on time and interest

Purpose
-
To introduce the concepts of RBM and to show participants how a HRBA brings depth and
legitimacy to our practice of RBM
To formulate results and indicators that responds to the analysis conducted in session 5
Expected Results
-
Participants have a common understanding of RBM, and can explain how a HRBA
strengthens the formulation of results and indicators
Participants have practiced the formulation of outcomes, outputs, and indicators, on the
basis of a human rights-based analysis
Participants have a better sense of the struggle that many UNCTs go through as they
attempt to formulate SMART results in the inter-agency setting

More fun: Inform participants that we need to mix the groups. Ask for
half of each table to stand. Once half of each table are standing, thank
them for their voluntary spirit. Ask those who did not stand to shift to a
new table.

- Write ‘Result’ on a flip chart
- Ask participants to call-out key words that they associate with ‘result’
or can use to define it. Take 7-8 suggestions, and stop when you have
received the following key words: ‘change’, ‘causality’, ‘cause and
effect’, ‘measureable’. Participants are likely to call out: ‘impact’,
‘output’, ‘outcome’ – record these, but don’t comment. At the end of
the exercise, point out that these are all different kinds of results, and
inform participants that the session will help them to understand these
differences.

Key messages:
The practice of RBM…
1. Helps us to connect the analysis of country challenges to evidence
about progress to date and lessons-learned
2. Enables us to engage partners to formulate SMART results, and
develop mechanisms and processes to ensure regular monitoring and
reporting on UNDAF performance
3. Demands working mechanisms for UNDAF monitoring and reporting
and the use of UNDAF performance information by the UNCT and
partners for decision-making
4. In all the above, A HRBA brings depth and credibility to our practice
of RBM by telling us…
• The right questions to ask
• The kinds of changes we should be aiming for
• How to measure, monitor, and report on change with
stakeholders.

- Changes in the performance of duty-bearers to meet their
obligations to respect, protect, and fulfill these rights

Activity
Outputs are:
- Results that address critical capacity gaps of rights-holders and

Present the format for the UNDAF results matrix. Prior to the
workshop, consult with the RCO about which format the UNCT intends
to use (1a. Outcomes or 1b. Outcomes and Outputs). You may have to
show both. Emphasise that there is only 1 level of outcome.
Take clarifying questions on the typology and UNDG definitions.
Don’t get into a debate on the merits of RBM. It is important to get into
the exercises as quickly as possible. RBM is best learned by doing,
rather than by talking. Distribute the handouts.

use the model on the slide. Show slide 17 with generic results
framework, as an example.
:15
After 10 minutes, stop and debrief with ‘solution’ on slides 18 or 19.
Facilitate a discussion on the exercise. Ask participants if they agree or
disagree with the UNCT’s results framework. Review the slide notes for
examples of common issues and responses. Take all points, have a
discussion, but don’t insist that the UNCT framework is correct or the
only solution. Remind participants that:
- RBM is not a science
- Context is critical, an outcome in one country situation may be more
appropriate as an output in another
- The flow or logic of results is most important, not that the results are
correct, absolutely. The results chain must be plausible, taking into
account the role of partners and assumptions about the programme
environment.
Presentation (cont.): Linking analysis with results
- Continue the presentation
- Show participants examples of current UNDAF outcomes. Don’t
present the statements – simply allow them to read from the slides
(participants should both laugh and be shocked!)
- It should be apparent that these outcomes are neither SMART nor
human rights-based.
- In plenary ask participants: ‘What is missing from these outcome

Activity
statements?’ You will get several responses.
Key point: Most outcome statements lack a subject and a clear
description of a change i.e. who has to change, and what is the
change
- Next, if the team is confident to do this, show participants a selection
of outcomes and outputs from their own current UNDAF. Again, don’t
criticize. Ask participants to read and offer opinions (Examples of slides
from Lao PDR are provided in the presentation).
- Finally, show participants a good example from Angola related to
maternal health on slide 23.
“By 2013, women of reproductive age in Benguela province enjoy
greater access to high quality maternal health care”
Materials
Show how this outcome has a clear subject of change, as well as a
change statement, related to institutional performance and HR
standards. Remind participants about the questions that a HRBA helps
to answer and how they help us to write stronger results with:
- the “who” – RH or DBs, and
- the “what” – institutional/ behavioural changes and new capacities.
:45
Tell participants that in the next activity they will formulate results that
are SMART and that respond to the human rights-based analysis they
did in session 5.
Exercise: Formulate outcomes and outputs
Ask participants to return to the same groups that did the analysis in
session 5. Groups formulate 1 UNDAF outcome and 2 contributing
outputs that respond to the development challenge and human rightsbased analysis from session 5
The outcomes should be written on A4 cards and placed on the wall
beside their analytical work, as a results framework: e.g.

Apply human rights principles to strengthen the framework
- Give each group, randomly, one of the 3 operational principles
- Ask them to make up to 3 changes in their results framework to make
it better reflect that principle
- In plenary, ask groups to briefly present their changes (1 minute per
group) and debrief
- Time permitting, the HR resource person should highlight 2-3 good
examples where one or more of the HR standards and principles have
emerged clearly in the results framework or where they are missing.

Post-it notes
Ask participants to reflect critically on:
– The logical flow of results and use of change language
– The SMART-ness of the framework, particularly the formulation of
indicators, assumptions and risks
– The linkage between the results framework and the human rightsbased analysis.
– Is it intuitive?
– Do the results respond to the underlying and root problems
revealed by the analysis?
– Do the outcomes show changes in the performance of rightsholder to claim their rights, duty-bearers to meet their
obligations?
– Do the outputs address identified capacity gaps?
Review and incorporation of feedback
- Ask participants to return to their working groups, review the
feedback received, and make modifications to their analysis.
Conclusion: Linking Analysis with Results
Take a moment to conclude this session with key messages:
» A HRBA brings depth and legitimacy to our practice of RBM by
telling us: the right questions to ask, the kinds of changes we
should be aiming for, and how to measure, monitor, and report on
change with stakeholders.
»
A monitoring and evaluation plan that is sensitive to human rights,
uses human rights principles and standards to guide the selection
of indicators, and to develop monitoring and reporting processes
that are inclusive

Session 7: Next Steps
Time: 60 min
Purpose
-
Identify entry points and practical steps to apply HRBA-RBM to the planned UNDAF process
Give the UNCT an opportunity to reflect on what has been learned during the workshop and
discuss the implications for its future work
Expected Results
-
Participants work together to identify entry points and a set of practical next steps to better
integrate HRBA and RBM into the country’s UNDAF process.
Preparation
This session must be focused and grounded in country realities. It should not produce an
idealized ‘wish-list’ of ways to apply HRBA and RBM. Before the workshop, the facilitation team
should discuss with the UNCT and RCO about different concrete opportunities for integrating
HRBA and RBM into the UNDAF process or wider national programming processes. For example:
­ The National Development Plan or PRS
­ National Sector reviews, plans, or strategies
Before the workshop, develop a short-list of the most realistic opportunities. This is the starting
point for this session. Flexibility is important in this session. You may not have a full hour. A 30
minute alternative design is also provided, below

Activity
Introduce the session with the following key points:
- The UNCT must be much more opportunistic about finding places to
apply a HRBA to country analysis and rest of the UNDAF process,
regardless of whether a full CCA is planned or not
- These opportunities may not lend themselves to a full 3-step process
(as we have just completed)
- The UNCT will have to be strategic about what elements and steps of
a HRBA it can best apply, at different stages of the UNDAF process, to
generate valuable insights and make a difference
- This session will help us to explore these strategies, possible
challenges, and agree on some practical next steps.

Activity
Presentation: What’s the plan – What’s our focus?
- A UNCT member (HoA or the Coordination Officer) should make a
brief presentation about the the planned steps for the UNCT’s
contribution to country analysis, based on UNDAF Road Map
- Conclude with the short-list of opportunities (see above)
- Facilitate a plenary discussion and ask participants to select up 3 or 4
opportunities as entry points for the near term (next 3-6 months)
- These issues will drive the next group exercise
:20
Group exercise: Next Steps
Form 1 group for each entry point identified (above)
Allow participants to self-select into the group of their choice – the
opportunity which most interests them
In groups…
­ Identify the result you want to achieve (short term, practical)
­ Think about different strategies to use and identify up to 7 next
steps to achieve the result. Formulate these as activities
­ Give a target date for completion
­ Assign a focal point among civil society groups for the different
steps (these can be organizations or individuals)
­ List any key resources needed for each step (reference materials,
data, expertise, and funds)
­ Identify up to 3 major challenges or barriers that would prevent
the UNCT and partners from taking advantage of the opportunity,
including any stakeholders who may oppose

- Flip charts
Ask groups to prepare their work plan on flip chart – use the table
format depicted. Encourage them to be as specific as possible, and be
prepared to present in plenary.

Roving presentations
- Using a ‘roving plenary’ by asking participants to stand and move as a
group from one work plan to the next
- Ask each group to present their work plan in 3 minutes or less
- Take any clarifying questions before moving to the next station (no
discussion, yet)
:10
Plenary reflection
- Place all the work plans (flip charts) side by side and gather
participants in a semi-circle. Initiate a brief discussion, by asking:
» Overall, how feasible is this work plan? Can we do it?
» What is common across the work plans? Is there a sequence in
the work plans?
» Are the assigned roles doable and appropriate for the
organization/ individual?
» Reflecting back on the workshop, are there any key resources

Who will be responsible to keep the work plan and remind
participants later?
- Facilitation team to note major points on flip chart
- Type and distribute work plans for their reference
Alternative: What do we do next?
Have the presentation on the UNDAF road map (as above). Ask the
presenter (HoA or the Coordination Officer) to remain as a resource
person. Keep the Road Map table or list of activities on the screen for
reference. Ask:
In order to apply what we have learned in this workshop, what do we
do next?
- Facilitate a plenary discussion, seek consensus on a short list of next
steps, as recommendations to the UNCT.
Trainer Notes:
- This session may not be appropriate for workshops with some government partners. The UNCT may
need another opportunity to strategize collectively.
- The following questions can be used to prompt the group discussions on challenges and strategies:
» Do you have enough high quality, disaggregated data to illustrate the problems? Are decision
makers motivated by this data?
» Who are the advocates and allies (e.g. parliamentarians, faith and cultural leaders, trade unions,
civil society groups, eminent people) that can be involved to build commitment (e.g. attention to
specific populations and marginalized groups)?
» Will an explicit human rights strategy move the agenda (e.g. advocacy based on standards,
commitments)?
» Are there issues that are hard to talk about in your national context? (e.g. prompt discussion on
cultural norms and practices in country).
» Are there deeply entrenched stereotypes, misconceptions and prejudices in relation to specific
populations that need to be overcome?
» Are there dedicated programs and strategies to address these?
» Do national bodies (e.g. government, ombudsperson/NHRI, CSOs) have the technical and financial
resources they require?
» Are there destabilizing factors that impact the human rights situation (likelihood of natural
disasters, conflict)?
» Do all populations participate in decisions that affect them and have access to information about
their communities?
» What is the role of the media?
» What is the role of social dialogue institutions?

Introduction and group formation
- Inform participants that this is an energizer and a way to test each
other’s knowledge about HRBA and RBM
- Form 3 new mixed groups (see trainer notes below)
- Give group work instructions
- Groups should work quietly to prepare 5 questions about HRBA-RBM
for their colleagues to answer
- Groups should also note the “correct” answer
- Questions can be in any format (true/false; multiple choice; or
narrative response)
- Give some examples (see slide), encourage the groups to develop
country specific questions, and have some fun with it…
- Groups should write their 5 questions on 1 sheet of flip chart paper
and keep them hidden from plenary – use a 2nd sheet for the answers

The HRBA-RBM Quiz
- Begin randomly with a group (now Group 1)
- Group 1 reveals their first question in plenary
- Other groups confer quietly and agree on their answer
- The group to the right (clockwise - now Group 2) provides their
answer, if correct they score a point

Duration
Activity
- If incorrect, ask the next group (clockwise - now Group 3) for their
answer – if correct, they score a point
- Shift to Group 2 and their first question, and continue the process as
laid out above until every group has asked every question
- If a group prepares a question but does not have the correct answer
for it, they lose a point
- Keep track of points on a flip chart
- Announce the winner and (if feasible and appropriate) distribute
some candies or local sweets
- Conclude with key message: Participants are ready to support the
stronger integration of HRBA-RBM into the UNDAF Process

HRBA Jeopardy
Introduction and group formation
- Inform participants that this is an energizer and a way to test each
other’s knowledge about HRBA
Form 3 new mixed groups (see trainer notes below)
Explain how Jeopardy works:
- Randomly select a team to start the game
- This team will pick a category and a dollar amount
- The answer to a question will appear. For example: ‘The most ratified
HR treaty in the world’
- The first team that provides the correct question for that answer,
wins the dollar amount (as points) and will pick another question or
category. For the answer above, the question is: “What is the
Convention on the Rights of the Child?’
- A team member should be designated to put their hand in the air (you
can also ask them to make a ‘buzzer’ noise, for more fun)
- If the first team to provide the question is wrong, the next team can
offer their question, and they will pick the next category and answer
- Play continues until all the answers have correct questions
- A facilitation team member should keep a tally of the team points
- The $1000 question on ‘HR champions’ is taken last by the all
participants – this ends the game with smiles
(:25)
Materials
Note: After each answer and question, the facilitator must go back to
the overview slide by clicking the arrow at the bottom of the question

Trainer Notes:
Mixing the groups can be done in an absurd way. Create 3 flip chart stations in the corners of the room
and ask people to move to a station based on… (1) They had tea for breakfast, (2) They own a pet, (4)
They have a birthday in January or July, (5) They play a musical instrument…etc. Confer with organizers
to ensure that the ‘criteria’ selected are culturally sensitive.

Optional Session: Open space
Normally, there will not be time for an open space session in a 2 ½ day workshop. However, you
could include it in a full 3 day workshop. Alternatively, if some participants are keen to explore
and discuss more technical details about the HRBA and human rights or RBM, it could be done
as a short evening session, or during a lunch session.
Time: 45 min
Purpose
- To help participants clarify any outstanding questions they have about the HRBA, RBM, and
the UN country programming process and guidelines
- To guide participants to additional resources and reading
Expected Results
- Participants have clarified any outstanding conceptual or operational concerns from the
substance of the workshop

A Learning Needs Assessment (LNA) is essential to understand the profile of the participants,
gauge their level of knowledge about HRBA and RBM, and identify expectations for the event.
UNSSC will offer the LNA as an on-line survey about 3 weeks before the event. The LNA will also
highlight participants who have a high level of knowledge and expertise. These participants may
be involved further in the workshop delivery.
The standard questions of the Learning Needs Assessment (LNA) are shown below:
HRBA/RBM In-country Workshop – Learning Needs Assessment
1. What are the key issues that you would like to learn in the workshop?
2. Have you applied HRBA to RBM and M&E in your work?
3. What have been the most challenging issues related to applying HRBA in your work?
