CRC/C/SLV/CO/3-4 14. The Committee recommends that the State party evaluate the current National Plan of Action for Children and develop a new plan covering all aspects of the Convention and its Protocols and taking into account the new framework for the integral protection of children and adolescents established in the LEPINA. The Committee strongly recommends that this National Plan of Action for Children be time-bound and that it be linked with the other thematic National Plans of Action in order to have a holistic approach towards the rights of the child. It further recommends that the State party provide the necessary human and financial resources for the implementation of this Plan, and carry out the necessary monitoring and evaluation efforts to regularly assess progress across sectors and identify gaps and remedial actions. Independent monitoring 15. The Committee welcomes the compliance of the Human Rights Procurator’s Office with the Paris Principles. It also welcomes that the Deputy Procurator for the protection of Children and Youth, created within the Office of the Human Rights Procurator, has developed a working method with children in “Youth Units for the Human Rights Dissemination” (Unidades Juveniles de Difusión de Derechos Humanos), which involves the participation of children and has an impact into the communities, schools and universities. However, the Committee shares the concerns expressed in November 2009 by the Committee against Torture about allegations that the Procurator’s Office had suffered threats aimed at interfering in its work and undermining its independence. The Committee is also concerned at the limited access that children have to the Procurator’s Office complaint procedure. 16. The Committee reiterates and reinforces its recommendation expressed in its previous concluding observations about the need to ensure that the Human Rights Procurator’s Office, and through it the Deputy Procurator for the protection of Children and Youth, receive sufficient resources, human, technical and financial, to carry out their mandate, including making more accessible and culturally sensitive the complaint procedure for all children. The Committee also recommends that the State party protect the activities of the Human Rights Procurator’s Office from any undue interference or external pressure so as to ensure its proper functioning and independence. The State party is also encouraged to give adequate follow-up to the recommendations of the Procurator’s Office. Allocation of resources 17. The Committee, while welcoming the State party’s approach to allocation of resources based on an approach of equity and social inclusion is concerned about the low allocation of resources to education (2,9 per cent of the GDP) and to health (1.7 per cent of the GDP). The Committee also regrets that existing programmes and actions focus almost exclusively on the area of child protection and poverty alleviation without facing structural disparities and the necessary holistic child rights approach. 18. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Address the issue of budget allocations for children not simply as a matter of expenditures in the areas of child protection, but in a more holistic approach which covers health, education, food and food security, water, basic sanitation, recreation, prevention of violence, etc.; (b) education; 4 Increase substantially the allocation of resources to health and
