Contextualizing indicators
STEP I.
Structural indicators
Identify gaps in domestic law vis-à-vis international human rights law and
obligations of State party to human rights treaties;
Identify gaps in public policy documentation on the issue under consideration
with respect to international best practices;
Identify customary practices and domestic institutions seen as being relevant
to the implementation of human rights obligations
STEP II.
Process indicators
Process
indicators should be
contextually relevant and locally driven;
Unlike
structural or outcome indicators,
multiple process indicators may be
desirable, if feasible;
Focus
on administrative data for
process indicators; and
Devise
additional process indicators
and interventions for implementing
human rights based on global best
practices
STEP III.
Identify target groups, e.g.,
minorities, indigenous
peoples, women, to
articulate specific indicators
Refine illustrative
indicators for ongoing
local programmes
contributing to human rights
implementation
Focus on national and
local budgetary processes
for mainstreaming human
rights
Outcome indicators
Standard formulations of indicators are universally relevant but may need
to be customized to specific target population groups
Review / validation of indicators based on the requirement for follow-up to recommendations
from human rights mechanisms and country-specific evidence
