CRC/C/GEO/CO/3 page 3 Coordination 8. The Committee regrets that there is no mechanism responsible for the coordination and evaluation of the implementation of the Convention in the State party. 9. The Committee recommends that the State party allocate principal responsibility for the coordination and evaluation of implementation of the Convention to a single mechanism and provide regular and adequate financial and human resources so that it comprehensively coordinates children’s rights. National Plan of Action 10. While welcoming the adoption of the National Action Plan for Child Care for 2008-2011, the Committee regrets that it does not cover all areas of the Convention. The Committee also regrets that the previous National Plan of Action for Children (2002-2003) was not implemented due to insufficient financial backing from the State budget. 11. The Committee encourages the State party to adopt a comprehensive action plan that covers all areas of the Convention and ensure cross-sectoral implementation of the Convention, in consultation with civil society and all sectors involved in the promotion and protection of children’s rights. In this regard, the Committee encourages the State party to take into account the principles and provisions of the Convention as well as the outcome document of the 2002 General Assembly special session on children entitled “A world fit for children” and its mid-term review of 2007. The Committee further urges the State party to allocate sufficient financial resources to the action plan to ensure its full and effective implementation. Independent monitoring 12. While welcoming the establishment of the Child’s Rights Centre of the Office of the Public Defender and its role in the protection of the rights of the child, the Committee regrets that the Child Rights Centre does not have adequate human and financial resources to fulfil its mandate throughout the country. The Committee is also concerned that the reports and the recommendations of the Child’s Rights Centre are not considered in a timely fashion by Parliament. The Committee is further concerned about the inability of the Child’s Rights Centre to have unhampered access to children in State institutions. 13. The Committee recommends that the State party secure the necessary human and financial resources to enable the Child’s Rights Centre, to adequately execute its mandate throughout the country and that it be provided with unhampered access to all institutions caring for children. The Committee further recommends that the State party consider reports and recommendations of the Child’s Rights Centre and respond to them in a timely manner. In this regard, the Committee draws the attention of the State party to the general comment No. 2 (2002) on the role of independent national human rights institutions in the protection and promotion of the rights of the child.
