The needs of children are the foundation of local planning in Veles.
On December 12, in the municipality of Veles, the third local strategic planning panel for children was held, focusing on the development of the Children’s Rights Strategy and Action Plan.
Representatives from the municipality, the educational sector, social workers, civil society organizations, and other local stakeholders actively discussed how to respect children’s opinions and integrate their needs into local planning.
The municipality’s focus is on ensuring quality education and basic social services for all children, as well as creating a safe, clean, and stimulating environment filled with cultural and recreational activities.
Specific solutions and measures were proposed to fulfil children’s rights while assessing the current situation and defining priorities for future actions.
Local planning for children must be based on direct consultations, taking into account the needs and demands of the children themselves!
