A/HRC/42/59 intolerance against people of African descent. The Working Group urges States to work with people of African descent rather than for people of African descent in addressing issues affecting them. 100. The Working Group urges financial and development institutions to design policies and programmes with clear, specific and measurable goals for the development of people of African descent. Such policies and programmes must be informed by data and be in line with the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, the International Decade for People of African Descent and the Sustainable Development Goals. 101. The Working Group recommends that Member States introduce the need for data on people of African descent on the agenda of the United Nations Statistical Commission. 102. The Working Group recommends that Governments, businesses and civil society implement the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to prevent, address and remedy human rights abuses suffered by people of African descent in business operations, including technology companies. Furthermore, it encourages the inclusion of the perspective of the human rights of people of African descent in the debate on the collection and use of data for commercial purposes. In that respect, the Forum on Business and Human Rights provides a potential opportunity. 103. The Working Group recommends that all Member States, regional and international organizations, United Nations funds, programmes and specialized agencies, civil society organizations and all other relevant stakeholders implement the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and the programme of activities for the implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent. 17
