CRC/C/BGD/CO/4 page 7 Dissemination of the Convention and training 26. While welcoming the efforts made by the State party in the translation and dissemination of the Convention and previous concluding observations of the Committee to a wider audience, including Parliament, Government, the army, educational institutions, NGOs and the media, the Committee expresses concern that the outreach has been only limited and restricted to Bengali speakers. The Committee is also concerned that the Convention is still not well known, especially at the district levels and among children in and out of school, and that so far no efforts have been made to assess the impact of dissemination activities. In addition, while noting with interest ongoing training of various professionals on the Convention, the Committee is concerned that this is not systematic and does not adequately cover rural and remote areas. 27. The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that all of the provisions of the Convention are made widely known and understood by adults and children and inter alia: (a) Translate and disseminate the Convention in non-Bengali languages; (b) Carry out evaluations of its dissemination activities as well as training of relevant professionals to assess outcomes and impact; (c) Reinforce systematic training of all categories of professional working for and with children in rural and remote areas, including teachers, police, lawyers, judges, health personnel, the media, social workers and personnel of childcare institutions; (d) Include human rights education in the official curriculum at all levels of education; (e) Conduct public awareness campaigns giving particular attention to people with low literacy skills; (f) Seek further technical assistance from UNICEF for the above. Cooperation with civil society 28. The Committee appreciates the cooperation between the State party and civil society organizations relevant to the rights of the child, but is concerned that this cooperation reflects mainly a use of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as contractors by the State party for the implementation of projects. The Committee also notes with concern the limited participation of NGOs in the formulation and monitoring of policies and strategies to implement the Convention as well as in the preparation of reports. 29. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation to the State party to take the necessary steps to improve coordination among the different relevant actors and partners involved in implementing the Convention and to continue cooperation and communications with these partners. Specifically, the Committee encourages the State party to consider more proactive measures to systematically involve NGOs in research, policy formulation, monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the Convention.
