CRC/C/DZA/CO/3-4 (g) To 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 21. The Committee notes with concern the limited progress made to establish a national, comprehensive and centralized data collection system covering all areas of the Convention. The Committee is particularly concerned that data by geographic location, socio-economic status and groups of vulnerable children as well as data on violence, abuse and exploitation is completely lacking and that policy makers often use unreliable national data to assess the situation and to formulate policies to address the problems of children, especially those in the most vulnerable and disadvantaged situations and among them children with disabilities and children working in the informal sector. 22. The Committee encourages the State party to set up a national and comprehensive system to collect data disaggregated, inter alia, by age, sex, ethnicity, geographic location and socioeconomic background, on all areas of the Convention in order to facilitate the analysis of progress achieved in the realization of child rights and to help design policies and programmes to implement the Convention. The State party should ensure that the information collected contains up-to-date data on children in vulnerable situations, including girls, and children living with disabilities, in poverty and children victims of abuse and exploitation. The Committee further urges the State party to develop and implement a policy to protect the privacy of children who have been registered in all national databases. Dissemination and awareness-raising 23. The Committee notes with concern that initiatives undertaken to disseminate and raise awareness about the Convention, including among parents, caregivers, teachers, youth workers and children have remained limited. In particular, the Committee regrets the weak implementation of the National Communication Plan for the Promotion of Child Rights (2009-2011) developed by the Delegate Ministry in charge of Family and the Status of Women. 24. The Committee urges the State party to take more active measures to systematically disseminate and promote the Convention, raising awareness in the public at large and among children in particular. In this respect, the Committee encourages the State party to provide the necessary human, financial and technical resources for the effective implementation of the above-mentioned plan. Training 25. While welcoming the fact that juvenile-court judges are given specialized training on the Convention, the Committee regrets that such training does not reach all the other professionals working with or for children. 26. The Committee recommends that all professional groups working for and with children be adequately and systematically trained in children’s rights, in particular law-enforcement officials, teachers, media, health workers, social workers, personnel working in all forms of alternative care and migration authorities. Cooperation with civil society 27. The Committee expresses concern that members of non-governmental human rights organizations, including those monitoring the situation of child rights as well as journalists are often subjected to intimidation, harassment and arrests.
