A/HRC/32/43/Add.1 perspective be mainstreamed in all development programmes and policies across sectors. Moreover, she would like to stress that a human-rights-based approach to development requires that planning and implementation of development measures should be deliberate, targeted and progressive in order to create an enabling environment for the exercise and fulfilment of human rights; (c) Strengthen the overall policy of national development, from its planning and design, to implementation and delivery, to monitoring, assessment and evaluation, to policy coherence and harmonization across all the various ministries, including those which are engaged in international development cooperation. It is strongly suggested that a single office be dedicated to an oversight function in this regard, to optimize resources and avoid duplication; (d) Implement more systematic and thorough consultation for the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development programmes, including development assistance programmes, with the meaningful participation of civil society and affected communities; (e) Allocate additional resources for capacity-building on all levels of development implementation, especially in the light of the imminent decentralization process. In this regard, it is further suggested that the Inter-ministerial Delegation on Human Rights, in coordination with the National Human Rights Council and partners, intensify human rights training programmes, especially for civil servants involved in the delivery of public services. This would enhance transparency and would be a positive step towards deterring favouritism and corruption in public service; (f) Work jointly with civil society actors, including human rights organizations and development partners, to establish a framework for the monitoring of foreign funds received by civil society actors. This protocol should be based on impartiality and objectivity, accountability, transparency and fairness, and should be in full respect of the freedom of association. Provisions in this regard should be considered for inclusion in the draft bill on civil society, in accordance with the international human rights standards referred to in the report of the Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association (A/HRC/23/39); (g) Establish a tripartite framework, consisting of Government, development partners and civil society, to monitor the implementation and outcome of development assistance programmes; (h) Consider ratifying the Optional Protocols to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Independent Expert encourages the Government to redouble its efforts to submit its reports in a timely manner to the relevant human rights treaty bodies. 74. The Independent Expert also makes the following recommendations for the consideration of the international development partners of Morocco: (a) Consult all stakeholders affected by development assistance programmes, and fully integrate human-rights-based approaches in all stages throughout the entire process, from planning, to implementation, to monitoring and evaluation; (b) Ensure equal opportunity in accessing development assistance funds for civil society actors, in particular for grass-roots organizations in the rural and remote areas that are often left out because they lack access to information.
