A/HRC/23/56/Add.1 insufficient financial and human resources, remains a key challenge. In this connection, he urges the Government to finalize immediately the formal approval of the plan of action against racism and all forms of discrimination, and to commence implementation by allocating adequate human and financial resources. 79. The Special Rapporteur notes that, at the institutional level, important steps have been taken, such as the establishment of the Vice-Ministry of Decolonization, which is also tasked with preventing and eliminating racism, and the National Committee against Racism and All Forms of Discrimination. He encourages the Government to strengthen the capacity of these institutions by ensuring that they are provided with the human, financial and technical resources necessary. 80. The Special Rapporteur shares the concerns expressed about the widespread prejudice against and stereotypes of indigenous peoples, Afro-Bolivians, migrants and other vulnerable groups and individuals, as well as at the considerable number of incidents of racism and racial discrimination and persistent tensions and polarization within Bolivian society. He believes that these factors impede the creation of an inclusive and pluralistic society. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Government to enhance its awareness-raising campaigns aimed at combating racial discrimination, stereotypes and all existing forms of discrimination, and to continue its programmes to promote intercultural dialogue, tolerance and mutual understanding. B. Structural discrimination 81. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the positive steps taken by the Government to combat racism and racial discrimination against indigenous peoples, Afro-Bolivians and other marginalized groups, and to ensure their inclusion. Indigenous peoples and Afro-Bolivians continue, however, to experience structural discrimination in their access to employment, education, health care and other services. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government take relevant measures to address the underlying structural factors that allow discrimination that leads inequalities in the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights, and that it set concrete equality targets and monitor their implementation. 82. In the light of the serious concerns expressed about the manifestations of structural discrimination in a large number of health-care, education and business services institutions against indigenous peoples, Afro-Bolivians and other marginalized communities and groups, the Special Rapporteur stresses that a significant shift in the policies, practices and procedures of the said institutions is required to address institutional racism and to create inclusive and responsive organizational cultures. 83. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government take specific measures to create more accessible and responsive mechanisms to receive and act upon complaints of unlawful discrimination by both public and private sector actors on the basis of ethnicity. 84. The Special Rapporteur is concerned that racial profiling, discriminatory acts, prejudices and negative stereotypes against indigenous peoples and communities remain a reality, also in public institutions, including law-enforcement authorities, the judiciary and the police. He therefore urges the Government to conduct regular training activities and awareness-raising campaigns, and to apply non-discrimination standards and procedures in public sectors. The Special Rapporteur moreover recommends that the Government develop concrete strategies to increase police 18
