Welcome!
This discussion room is a space for you to share your feedback on UNDP’s work in the area of Rule of Law, Security and Human Rights (especially the Global Programme on Rule of Law and Human Rights), to review its impact and effectiveness since its establishment in 2008.
Whether you are a current partner, donor, or an independent civil society activist, thematic expert, journalist or academic specializing in rule of law and human rights and advocating for security or justice reform , we want to hear your thoughts on what we have done well and what we could improve upon. We are particularly interested in reflecting on UNDP’s impact, scope, and partnerships but welcome your views on areas that may fall outside of this.

Objective: To gather feedback from UNDP and a broader constituency on the impact and effectiveness of the UNDP’s focus on rule of law, security and human rights to inform the design of the next phase. To provide a space to help us identify what areas of work require more engagement from the UNDP and UN rule of law, security and human rights community and the challenges and opportunities to advance justice, security, and human rights over the next 5 years.
Outcome: A summary of discussions will feed into UNDP’s policy and programme formulation on the Future We Want to See: Reimagining the Rule of Law, Security and Human Rights and the Inclusive Social Contract.
Week Five Summary
With your contributions last week, we completed this innovative and interesting discussion!
I have read with interest the exchanges in this discussion room and the examples of rule of law initiatives supported by the UNDP Rule of Law, Security and Human Rights Programme. In addition, we have reflected together on how we can better orient ourselves and strengthen our programming to impact lives, strengthen our strategic partnerships and learn from experiences to enhance our positioning, generating new knowledge and tools for management.
The experience shared by Randall Brenes shows the added value of UNDP as well as the capacities and capabilities installed in our offices in terms of ROL and SGD16. An integrated approach to citizen security: evidence that translates into public policy (POLSEPAZ) and accompanied by strong work in support of the justice sector with a strong focus on rights, diversity and gender.
Marine Malkhasyan from UNDP Armenia highlights the relevance of evidence for action trough the implementation of SDG 16 project. The development of innovative data collection methods to measure the progress of SDG 16 implementation and alignment of SDG 16 to national strategies. And the interesting experience on the use of technologies and how can adapt related to the use of behavior insights in specific thematic areas and how can we be including for COVID-19 response.
Thanks Tania Martinez! UNDP Honduras developed an analysis on SDG 16 in Honduras, this analysis covers the practicalities of available data, what sources can currently be used as proxies, current gaps, and opportunities for policymakers to accelerate the implementation of actions and programs that contribute to SDG 16+.
Also, UNDP Honduras is working on its National Human Development Report on Rule of Law, an important process for positioning key issues on the agenda for the 2021 electoral process. Thank you very much for your contributions Marta Gazideda and Konstantin Sokulskiy.
All efforts are important for us to move forward together as a global team towards 2030. Let the discussions not remain only on this platform. Let's encourage discussions between regions and continue to share among colleagues, country teams and partners! It was a pleasure and we want to invite all of you to continue this rich conversation in other spaces maximizing the learning, knowledge and learning that we have around the world.
Muchas Gracias!
