Part III (Chapters 8-10) provides nine tools to assist UNDP staff in building and/or strengthening their work on minorities in development. The tools are clustered as follows: Situation Analysis (Tool 1 - Checklist for Developing Programmes and Projects on Minorities in Development; Tool 2 Vulnerability Assessment; and Tool 3- HRBA Causality Analysis); Data Collection (Tool 4 - Challenges in Collecting Quantitative Ethnic Data; and Tool 5 - Survey Design, Data Collection and Sampling Method: Case Example from UNDP Ukraine); Monitoring and Evaluation (Tool 6- Measuring ‘Ethnic Distance’; Tool 7- Early Warning on Minorities and Conflict; and Tool- Integrating Minorities into the UNDP Programme Cycle). Part IV (Chapters 11-12) provides an overview of the international legal standards and mechanisms relevant for minority rights and regional summaries of minority rights protection. The Annexes provide reference materials on: UN Declaration on the Rights of National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities; Selected Conclusions and Recommendations on Minority Rights from UN Treaty Bodies; Listing of papers of the former UN Working Group on Minorities and the present UN Independent Expert on minority issues; Pamphlets in the UN Guide for Minorities (by theme, by country/region); Major studies or reports of the former UN Sub-Commission on Human Rights; Further recommended reading on minority issues; and useful websites on minority issues. This Resource Guide and Toolkit complements, inter alia, the UNDG Guidelines on Indigenous Peoples’ Issues (2008) and the UN-DESA Resource Kit on Indigenous Peoples Issues (2008). The UNDG Guidelines outline many similar policy recommendations in addition to the particular rights and issues of concern to indigenous peoples. xiv M A R G I N A L I S E D M I N O R I T I E S I N D E V E LO P M E N T P R O G R A M M I N g
