CRC/C/15/Add.180 page 5 (b) Use these indicators and data effectively for the formulation and evaluation of policies and programmes for the implementation and monitoring of the Convention; (c) Seek technical assistance from UNICEF in this regard. Cooperation with civil society 22. Despite the recent establishment of several non-governmental organizations, the Committee expresses its concern that insufficient efforts have been made to involve civil society in the full implementation of the Convention, particularly in the area of civil rights and freedoms. It further notes with deep concern that non-governmental organizations are subjected to difficult procedures for registration and that foreign funding in particular is restricted, which may limit their effectiveness and independence. 23. The Committee emphasizes the important role civil society plays as a partner in implementing the provisions of the Convention, including with respect to civil rights and freedoms. The Committee reiterates its recommendation (ibid., para. 12) that the State party: (a) Consider involving non-governmental organizations, especially rights-based ones, and other sectors of civil society working with and for children more systematically throughout all stages of the implementation of the Convention, in particular with respect to civil rights and freedoms; (b) In line with the Human Rights Committee’s recommendation (CCPR/C/79/Add.86, para. 19), review without delay laws, regulations and administrative practices in order to facilitate the registration and activities of non-governmental organizations. Training/dissemination of the Convention 24. The Committee, while acknowledging that there have been efforts to disseminate the Convention and to train professionals working with and for children in line with its previous recommendation (ibid., para. 17), nevertheless finds that these measures need to be strengthened. 25. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Develop more creative methods to promote the Convention, including through audiovisual aids such as picture books and posters, in particular at the local level and through the media; (b) Continue and strengthen its efforts to provide adequate and systematic training and/or sensitization on children’s rights of professional groups working with and for children, such as judges, lawyers, law enforcement and health personnel, teachers and school administrators;
