The UN Human Rights Office (Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights – OHCHR) represents the world's commitment to universal ideals of human dignity. It has a unique mandate from the international community to promote and protect all human rights.
The OHCHR field presence in Moldova, led by the Human Rights Adviser, assists the UN RC Office, UN Country Team in Moldova (UNCT), Government and civil society in strengthening human rights and human rights-based approach, working closely with the UN Country Team on capacity building and mainstreaming human rights in their work, as well as providing support in engagement with national actors on human rights, including advising national authorities upon request. Thematic priorities for the work of the Office are: (i) Strengthening rule of law and accountability for human rights violations; (ii) Enhancing equality and countering discrimination; (iii) Integrating human rights in sustainable development; (iv) Enhancing civic space and people’s participation.

The MoU establishes a platform for cooperation between the three national institutions from Moldova to strengthen development of data and analysis in line with international human rights standards and principles and the Sustainable Development Goals. Following the signature of the MoU, the NHRIs and NBS agreed to work cooperatively in applying the HRBA to data collection, analysis and dissemination.

The training focused on the practical aspects relating to HRBAD and human rights indicators for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
