COUNTRY PROGRAMME ACTION PLAN (CPAP)
Seek out partnerships with minority CSOs for
project implementation
Ensure TORs for project implementation
include criteria for monitoring impact of projects on minorities and evidence of relevant
knowledge on minority issues
Integrate attention to minority issues into
relevant CO training
Include disaggregated data tracking how
minorities are achieving the MDGs/HDI
Include dedicated analysis on issues of
particular importance to minorities (e.g.
environmental impact on minority-specific livelihoods; discrimination in access to
employment or education)
Consider translating summaries of MDG
reports and NHDRs into minority languages
and/or devising communications strategies to
minority regions to disseminate key findings
of reports (e.g. radio programmes, features in
minority-focused newspapers)
EVALUATION
Ensure elaboration of TORs for evaluation
includes input from minority stakeholders
Ensure evaluation consultants have expertise
on minority issues and non-discrimination
Provide evaluation consultants with contact
info for relevant minority CSOs
Distribute call for evaluators among minority
CSO networks, minority media and in minority
languages.
Ensure that Programme and Project Evaluation
Reports evaluate impact on marginalised
minority groups (e.g. Tools 4, 6)
ENGAGEMENT WITH CIVIL SOCIETY
ORGANISATIONS
Include baseline data and indicators for
monitoring and evaluation of the impact of
projects and programmes on minorities
MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT
GOALS REPORTS, NATIONAL HUMAN
DEVELOPMENT REPORTS
Ensure that minorities can access information
on UNDP activities in their country/region
(e.g. through translation of documents, dissemination through minority radio/print
media, in-community briefings, dissemination
via minority CSO networks)
Actively inform minorities about proposed
UNDP projects for their regions
Offer support to minority CSOs so that they
can participate in CSO stakeholder activities
(e.g. funding to travel, translation services,
background briefings)
Ensure that CO Civil Society Advisory
Committees strive to reflect the ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity of the country;
ensure that minorities have some representation in and access to the Committee
Ensure language accessibility: at a minimum,
provide basic information on CO in relevant
minority languages; publish documents in
minority languages where project activities
will affect minorities
Adapt participation processes to facilitate
greater participation by minorities (e.g.
language access; longer, more flexible consultation periods; hold meetings in minority
areas; respect for traditional decision-making
processes of minority communities)
Participate in events hosted by minority CSOs
to build relationships
In CSO capacity assessments, examine CSO
engagement with minority groups (e.g. projects of cooperation with minority CSOs,
minority staff, ability to communicate in
minority languages, non-discrimination policies, monitoring of impact on minority groups,
any field presence in minority areas).
