comprehensive and coordinated approach for the prevention and protection of
minorities.
k) Ensuring appropriate budgetary allocations by creating a general obligation on
Government to provide an adequate budget for the implementation of the relevant
activities; and/or requesting the allocation of funding for a specific activity, for
example, the creation of a specialized investigatiing office; and/or allocating a specific
budget to non-governmental organizations for a specified range of activities.
1) Ensure careful and regular monitoring which is critical to ensure that policies or
legislation are implemented effectively and does not have any adverse unanticipated
effects. Monitoring is most effective when conducted by the Government in
collaboration with non-governmental organizations, and with the involvement of
complainants/survivors of violence, in order to ensure that evaluations are reflective of
how the law is experienced on the ground.
m) Ensure statistical data be gathered at regular intervals on the causes, consequences
and frequency of all forms of violence against minorities, and on the effectiveness of
measures to prevent, punish and eradicate violence and that such statistical data be
disaggregated by sex, race, age, ethnicity and other relevant characteristics,
