CRC/C/DZA/CO/3-4 Legislation 11. The Committee notes as positive the legal reforms undertaken to harmonize the legislation with the provisions of the Convention, in particular as regards nationality and civil registration. The Committee is however concerned about: (a) The lack of progress in the adoption of the Child Protection Code, the elaboration process of which was initiated in 2005; and (b) The provisions of the Family Code which continue to discriminate against girls and to maintain severe gender discrimination that negatively impact on child rights. 12. The Committee urges the State party to speed up the adoption process of the Child Protection Code and ensure that civil society organizations and children are fully involved in the upcoming elaboration stages of this Code. The Committee also urges the State party to ensure that the Child Protection Code be fully in compliance with the principles and provisions of the Convention and that, once enacted, it supersede all legislation that is not in conformity with the Convention. The Committee further urges the State party to promptly repeal from the Family Code all other provisions that discriminate against girls and women and negatively impact on all children, such as legal provisions concerning child custody, inheritance, divorce, polygamy and repudiation. Coordination 13. While noting the coordination role played by the Delegate Ministry in charge of Family and the Status of Women, the Committee however reiterates its concern (CRC/C/15/Add.269 para. 14) about the absence of a full-fledged mechanism to ensure the coordination between the different ministries, departments and offices, as well as between the central, regional (Wilayas), municipal (Dairas) and local levels for an effective implementation of the Convention. 14. The Committee urges the State party to establish a high-level coordinating mechanism and to ensure that it has full authority and capacity to coordinate the implementation of children's rights across all ministries and other agencies which are responsible for the State Party's obligations under the Convention as well as between national, regional, municipal and local levels. This mechanism should be provided with adequate human, financial and technical resources to fulfil its mandate. National Plan of Action 15. While welcoming the National Plan of Action for Children (2008-2015) launched on 25 December 2008 and entitled “An Algeria fit for children”, the Committee is however concerned about the lack of specific budgetary allocations for the implementation of this plan and about the weak technical capacity of the steering committee in charge of monitoring its implementation. 16. The Committee urges the State party to ensure that appropriate human financial and technical resources are allocated for an effective implementation of the National Plan of Action for Children. The Committee also recommends that the State party conduct the mid-term review of the plan which was due to take place in 2010 in cooperation with civil society organizations and children and ensure that the outcome of this assessment is used to ensure an effective implementation of the action plan. Independent monitoring 17. The Committee reiterates its concern (CRC/C/15/Add.269, para.16) about the absence of an independent child sensitive monitoring structure with a clear mandate to 3
