CRC/C/MMR/CO/3-4 sustainability, its mandate and the resources allocated to its functioning. Furthermore, the Committee is concerned about the lack of collaboration between the different ministries involved in the implementation of activities related to the Convention; the decentralization process, which is not yet in place in all states, divisions and districts; and about the small number of operational bodies established at township level. 12. The Committee urges the State party to ensure that NCRC is operational on a sustainable basis and reiterates its recommendation to provide NCRC with the necessary authority and resources to coordinate all activities related to the implementation of the Convention, in an effective manner, both horizontally across ministries and vertically, from the national level down to the divisions, districts and townships. National Plan of Action 13. While noting the existence of a national strategy expressed in the National Plan of Action for Children (2006–2015), the Committee is concerned that the various existing sectoral plans of action related to children, such as the National Child Health Strategic Plan (2010–2014), the National Strategic Plan for Adolescent Health, and the National Plan of Action (2003–2015) “Education for all”, are not sufficiently coordinated with the National Plan of Action for Children. The Committee is also concerned about reports that the National Plan of Action for Children has not been sufficiently disseminated, that limited human and financial resources are allocated to implement it and that there is no proper mechanism to monitor its implementation. 14. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to ensure that the National Plan of Action for children coordinates the various sectoral action plans covering all aspects of the Convention. The Committee also recommends that the National Plan of Action for children be appropriately resourced in human, technical and financial terms. It further recommends that the systems for implementation and monitoring of the plan be put in place. Independent monitoring 15. The Committee notes the establishment in October 2011 of the National Human Rights Commission, which comprises a special division for children’s rights. However, the Committee is concerned about: (a) The absence of a law establishing the Commission; (b) The status of the members of the Commission, who are Government and former Government officials; (c) The current financial resources of the Commission that do not ensure its independence and efficiency; and (d) 16. The lack of visibility of the special division for children’s rights. The Committee encourages the State party to: (a) Adopt a law establishing an independent human rights institution with a status and a mandate in compliance with the Principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (Paris Principles), taking into account the Committee’s general comment No. 2 (2002) on the role of independent national human rights institutions in the promotion and protection of the rights of the child; (b) Seek technical assistance from, inter alia, OHCHR National Institutions and Regional Mechanisms Section in this respect; 3
