CRC/C/15/Add.196 page 3 (b) Ensure that the necessary regulations are made for the effective implementation of those legislative measures, including adequate budgetary allocation; (c) Ensure that children’s rights impact assessments are performed on proposals of relevant legislation and policies. Coordination 7. The Committee notes that the Social Welfare Department of the Ministry of Social Affairs is responsible for the coordination of child welfare policy and that a permanent commission for the child and family has been established with an advisory capacity. However, the Committee is concerned that the Department is not sufficiently mandated for an effective coordination of the activities relevant to the implementation of the Convention throughout the State party. 8. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Ensure that the Social Welfare Department is sufficiently mandated to coordinate the implementation of all areas of the Convention both between ministries as well as between national, regional and local authorities. Furthermore, the Committee recommends that financial and human resources be provided to allow for the effective implementation of the coordination role; (b) Enhance efforts to strengthen the networks related to the various children’s rights initiatives; (c) Create a multisectoral platform for developing policies and standards for the implementation of the Convention throughout the State party. Data 9. The Committee welcomes the statistical information provided in the written replies; however, it notes the insufficiency of data in some areas and is concerned at the insufficient evaluation of data to devise policies and programmes. 10. The Committee encourages the State party: (a) To consider the publication of annual statistical surveys on the rights of children, as the Statistical Office currently does in other fields; (b) To continue its efforts to collect disaggregated data on all persons under 18 years of age for all areas covered by the Convention, including the most vulnerable groups (e.g. victims of abuse and ill-treatment), and to use these data to assess progress and design policies to implement the Convention.
