CRC/C/KHM/CO/2-3 (f) Define strategic budgetary lines for children in disadvantaged or vulnerable situations that may require affirmative social measures, and make sure that those budgetary lines are protected, even in situations of economic crisis, natural disasters or other emergencies; (g) Take immediate measures to combat corruption and strengthen institutional capacities to effectively detect, investigate and prosecute corruption; (h) Take into account the Committee’s recommendations during its day of general discussion in 2007 on “Resources for the rights of the child - responsibility of States”. Data collection 18. The Committee commends the State party for the significant efforts made to develop databases, notably on child victims of trafficking and children in alternative care settings. The Committee is however concerned that insufficient data have been collected in some areas covered by the Convention, particularly on children with disabilities, and that data collection mechanisms remain fragmented. The Committee is further concerned that there is insufficient coordination among the relevant ministries to ensure the setting up of a systematic and comprehensive disaggregated database covering all areas of the Convention. 19. The Committee encourages the State party to set up a comprehensive data collection system and analyse data collected as a basis for assessing progress achieved in the realization of child rights, as well as help design policies and programmes to implement the Convention. The data should be disaggregated by age, sex, geographic location, ethnicity and socio-economic background to facilitate the analysis on the situation of all children. The Committee encourages the State party to seek technical assistance from relevant international organizations, including UNICEF. Dissemination and awareness-raising 20. The Committee notes with appreciation the positive steps taken by the State party to disseminate information on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, including vocational training on the rights of the child organized for school directors and deputy directors in all of the State party’s provinces. 21. The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to disseminate the Convention throughout the country, raise public awareness, including among children and parents, and disseminate information about its principles and provisions. Training 22. While noting with appreciation the information on the training provided to certain categories of professionals working with and for children, the Committee is however concerned that such training remain insufficient and do not cover all professionals working with and for children and law enforcement authorities for whom awareness of the Convention remains limited. 23. The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to undertake systematic quality education and training programmes on the principles and provisions of the Convention for all professional groups working for and with children, such as judges, lawyers, law enforcement officials, civil servants, personnel working in institutions and places of detention for children, teachers, health personnel, including psychologists, and social workers.
