6.7 Project Documents

Not all UNCT interventions require specific project documents. But where a comprehensive programme of technical assistance is desirable and necessary, these will likely form part of UNCTs engagements. Project documents are detailed documents that address specific commitments made in the country programme.

The scope and content of the activities included in a project document will reflect the assessed needs of the NHRI, as well as the stage at which the intervention is being made. These are generally contained in a Project Activity Framework Document.

The following Annex describes the steps and major activities that the UNCT may take, depending on a range of factors including the planning cycle, the stage of NHRI development and of course the timing and readiness for the activity.
