Manual for developing a local action plan for children

UNICEF

The Manual for Developing a Local Action Plan for Children, published by UNICEF in 2009, is a tool that helps municipalities implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child at the local level. The aim is to ensure that the decentralization process includes the perspectives of social development and the well-being of children. The manual guides municipalities through the process of creating a local action plan (LAP) for children, including: - Establishing child rights committees within the local government. - Conducting a situational analysis to identify the specific needs and priorities of children in the community. - Setting clear objectives and priorities within the LPA. - Ensuring children’s participation in the decision-making process. - Establishing partnerships with relevant institutions and organizations for the successful implementation of the LPA. - Conducting monitoring and evaluation of the results of the LPA. By following these steps, municipalities can effectively address the needs of children and ensure their well-being and protection in the local community.
