KHYBER-PAKHTUNKHWA
		
A planning workshop was organized between the project and Human Rights Directorate KP. The purpose of the workshop was to follow up on the decision of the last steering board meeting and develop an action plan for the year 2017 on key pillars of support. The meeting lead to the development of a detailed action plan for support to the KP Human Rights Directorate. In addition, a training of trainers was organized for key personnel of the KP Law Parliamentary Affairs and Human Rights Department. The training aim was to build the capacity of government officials to protect and promote fundamental rights throughout the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in line with the international legal framework Pakistan has ratified. The training's resulted in developing core competencies of the line department officials at the provincial and district levels who would subsequently train district level officials during the 3rd quarter.
		
During the workshop the project was able to realize that the relationship with Federal HR Ministry, Regional Directorate of Federal Human Rights has no link or coordination with KP HR Directorate. The link needs to be strengthened in the future.
		
Hold subsequent ToTs in districts
		
UNDP & KP HR Directorate
		
Human Rights is a sensitive issues, the project which only supports institutions should not be politicized, for this reason coordination between provincial departments and federal ministry needs to be strengthened.

ISLAMABAD
		
In pursuance of NCHR’s strategic priorities, UNDP, with support from the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) embarked in November 2016 on a pilot program to aid the NCHR in becoming an effective human rights actor. The aim of the capacity building support provided by UNDP was to enhance the Commission's capacity to meet its international human rights reporting obligations, equip it to occupy a position of independence relative to the government and to perform its due role as a national human rights protection and advocacy body. During the 2nd quarter the project completed its capacity needs assessment of the NCHR, the report provides detailed recommendations for short, medium and long term interventions for the NCHR.
		
Input from NCHR staff members was very difficult to receive in order to finalize the document.
		
Hold discussion with FCO regarding implementation of year 2 activities
		
UNDP
		
Huge gaps identified during the capacity needs assessment relating to NCHR's institutional capacity these include resolving outstanding budgetary and administrative issues with the government, hiring of staff and developing staff guidelines, making provincial offices functional, setting up advisory committees to engage with civil society, establishing a modern and effective media cell and deepening relationships with international partners.

The implementing partner after successfully completing the first year agreed activities under the democracy program,submitted its final district report which included key findings from implementation. The implementation of the right to information initiative empowered local communities to raise their voice regarding public service delivery in their district. This was evident from the fact that 51 right to information requests were submitted during the implementation period on issues pertaining to service delivery.
		
Public officials were reluctant to take part in interface meetings.
