Input to Research on NGO Participation in Monitoring
and Reporting on the Implementation of the Convention on
the Rights of the Child
Around the
world NGOs, either as individual organizations or in NGO Coalitions, have
participated in the monitoring and reporting process in relation to the
Convention on the Rights of the Child. Save the Children Denmark is currently
carrying out research on NGO participation in the work of the Committee
on the Rights of the Child. The organization is therefore interested in
collecting information on examples of good practise where NGOs in connection
with monitoring and reporting have carried out or participated in activities
that have contributed to:
- Improve the data collection on children. Quite often information on
children is unavailable, incomplete or inaccurate.
- Involve children in the process. Enabling children and youth to express
their views and take part in the monitoring and reporting of the CRC is
in line with the spirit of the convention, but it could also contribute
to improve the quality of information on children.
- Enhance the dialogue and interaction between Government and NGOs on
process, contents and quality of official report - and NGO Alternative
reports.
- Ensure systematic follow-up measures on Concluding Observations issued
by the Committee on the Rights of the Child.
- Promote the CRC and increase the general public's awareness on children's
rights, the CRC and the UN treaty body monitoring mechanisms.
- Strengthen the accountability of State Parties as the main duty bearers
in relation to implementation of the CRC.
