Expertise on minority issues should be mainstreamed into the mandates of all relevant ministries and governmental organs and national human rights institutions. Those particularly relevant to minority concerns, including in the fields of education, employment, health, housing and culture, should collaborate in the development of joint initiatives and programmes targeted towards disadvantaged minorities. 91.

Institutions mandated to address minority issues should be adequately funded, resourced and staffed to enable them to fulfil their mandates effectively and to respond appropriately to the challenges, requests and needs of minorities. 93. Institutions working on minority issues must be transparent and accountable to minorities, including with regard to processes for electing or appointing senior representatives and staff and their methods of work and activities. 94. Institutional practices and methodologies should be adopted and promoted to ensure the full and effective representation of minorities in institutions and the participation of and consultation with minorities in all aspects of institutional work. 95. Awareness-raising activities should promote knowledge of specialized minority rights and equality bodies or departments or relevant agencies, and of their services. Outreach should be targeted towards minority communities, including through minority media, and in minority localities. Information and services should be provided in minority languages. 96. Governmental and independent national human rights institutions should lead by example and ensure that their governing bodies and staff, including at senior levels, reflect the diversity within society, and ensure as well the representation of minority women. Diversity in public and private sectors should be promoted and monitored. 97.
