The CNDH highlighted that its budget is insufficient to cover all of its activities and a full geographic coverage of the country. The CNDH notes that it may receive additional funding from the Government as well as funding from international partners during a given financial year.

The SCA emphasizes that government funding should be released on a regular basis and in a manner that does not adversely affect NHRIs functions and day-to-day management.

The SCA recommends that the CNDH continue to advocate for an adequate level of funding to carry out the full range of its mandate. Such an adequate level of funding must ensure timely disbursement and sufficient human and material resources for human rights promotion and protection activities.

The SCA refers to Paris Principle B.2 and to its General Observation 1.10 on ‘Adequate funding of NHRIs’.
