Recommendations

Info

ecommendations National and international level responses Few of the above recommendations can succeed without support from critical national and international actors. NGOs such as World Vision can view as part of their role the extension of the practical role of governance in key areas of protection, prevention and development. However, it must be kept in mind that states bear primary responsibility to protect children; private sector and civil society activity should not be seen as supplanting the role of states. At the same time, national governments that are willing to promote child protection must also be able to count on the support of international actors. International institutions seeking to direct economic policy, promote good governance or improve the rule of law in countries should ensure that children benefit from these measures. The following recommendations are addressed not only to national governments but to donors, policy makers and other international actors: • Ensure the CRC is incorporated into staff training and general programs. Be willing to consider creative approaches that may contribute to promoting child protection. • Review existing processes and policies that may be restricting the capacity of people and institutions for change. • Support improvement in national government policy by allocating resources to enable its implementation and honour its intention. For example, provide adequate resources to strengthen the mechanisms of protection for children through increased law enforcement or awareness-raising in schools. • Invest in research, strategic collaboration and advocacy, which may be most effective in the long term in reducing risks to children, and has the added value of promoting civil society and responsive government. Collaboration also helps to avoid duplication. • Invest in understanding and planning for emerging issues. Given the increasing urbanisation in Asia, for example, greater attention is warranted to research and respond to emerging child protection issues of urban poor communities. 8 • Ensure that overseas development assistance (ODA) provides adequate resources to specifically assist children at risk, through policies and targeted programmes. 8 Social Protection Strategy, Asian Development Bank, 2001 89
