Chapter 5. Execution, Supervision, and Assessment
UN Handbook on National Human Rights Plans of Action mentions that, in addition to formulating detailed implementation plans and objectives, national human rights action plans should also include regular monitoring to ensure fruitful results; also, it is more appropriate and cost-effective to have a dedicated human rights affairs department to conduct the monitoring. Therefore, during the implementation of this action plan, the relevant supervision and assessment will be handled by the highest administrative agency in charge of human rights affairs in Taiwan.

After the announcement of this action plan, competent authorities shall not only implement it according to the content of the plan, but also establish regular assessment mechanisms in order to disclose the implementation status, results in terms of indicator targets, and completed items at an appropriate time. Competent authorities should also make sure that their activities are conducive to achieving the goals set out in the National Human Rights Action Plan.
Also, the National Human Rights Action Plan should have a cycle of monitoring and assessment. Through the development, implementation, monitoring, and assessment of Taiwan’s first National Human Rights Action Plan, the government can examine the effectiveness of the plan at any point and make rolling adjustments to relevant details to continue maintaining society’s confidence in the National Human Rights Action Plan.
Aside from the execution, supervision, and assessment of this action plan, which shall be conducted by Taiwan’s highest administrative authority on human rights, responses to the concluding observations and recommendations of the Two Covenants, CEDAW, CRC, CRPD, as well as the concluding observations on the National Conference on Judicial Reform, the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights, and the Action Plan for Fisheries and Human Rights to be established in the future shall be handled by the competent authorities according to the existing management and assessment mechanisms or other planned management and assessment mechanism. This is to implement hierarchical responsibility, save costs, and improve administrative efficiency.
