contextualized support to our programme countries and partners through the finalization of a Resource Guide and Toolkit on Marginalized Minorities in Development Programming. It reviews programming opportunities and relevant strategies for UNDP to integrate minorities in development including capacity development support for government officials and institutions, UN practitioners and minorities, as well as possible entry points for effective advocacy and partnership building efforts. Our constructive partnership has led to our continued engagement at this UN Forum on Minority Issues and cements our cooperation with one of the critical UN Human Rights Council processes, also reinforced in the recently established UN Network on Racial Discrimination and the Protection on Minorities, as called for by the UN Secretary General. Thank you for your attention.
