The aim of this package is to enhance the capacity of UN country team staff to understand the concept of the human rights-based approach as elaborated in the 2003 UN Common Understanding on a Human Rights-based Approach to Development Programming, and to apply it in the UN common country programming context. The learning package was developed by the Working Group on Training of the Action 2 interagency Task Force (OHCHR, UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNIFEM), in collaboration with the UN System Staff College, drawing from the collective experience of all agencies. The package includes particular focus on women and conflict as two substantive areas of common concern to the UN system. National partners are an important target, as they have an essential role in translating these programmatic processes into national country programming. The primary audience of the common learning package is the UN country team, with particular emphasis on the Resident Coordinator, Heads of Agencies and senior UN professionals, as well as programme officers and technical level staff with direct responsibility for developing CCA/UNDAFs. Depending on the needs of specific UNCTs, the audience can be enlarged to include other national and international stakeholders. In cooperation with the UN Development Operations Coordination Office and UN System Staff College, this package is being offered to all CCA/UNDAF roll-out country teams. As part of the work plan of the UNDG-HRM, the Common Learning Package is being updated and enhanced. The revised training material will be launched in 2011. The training package consists of a resource guide, workshop modules/facilitation guide and learning tools including PowerPoint presentations (available in English, French and Spanish), case studies and group exercises.
