CRC/C/THA/CO/2 page 5 children belonging to the most vulnerable groups. It also notes with concern that the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security has no representation at the district level and that there is limited Government capacity for social welfare service delivery at the Tambon or community level. 19. The Committee recommends that the State party provide information on budget allocations at both national and subnational levels, with particular emphasis on children belonging to the most vulnerable groups, in its next periodic report. The Committee recommends, in light of article 4 of the Convention, that the State party prioritize budgetary allocations at all levels to ensure the implementation of the rights of children, in particular those belonging to the most vulnerable groups “to the maximum extent of … available resources and, where needed, within the framework of international cooperation”. It encourages the State party to ensure the adequate allocation of resources for the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, both at national and subnational levels, in order to further strengthen multisectoral responses to promote implementation of the rights of children in Thailand. Data collection 20. The Committee notes with appreciation the efforts and initiatives taken to improve data collection on all children in the country. It is concerned, however, that data collection mechanisms remain fragmented and insufficient to ensure the systematic and comprehensive collection of disaggregated data on all areas covered by the Convention. 21. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation and urges the State party to strengthen and centralize its data collection system, and to systematically integrate and analyse disaggregated data on all children under 18 for all areas covered by the Convention, with special emphasis on the most vulnerable groups (i.e. indigenous and minority children, children in the southernmost provinces of the country, children with disabilities, abused and neglected children, children living in poverty, children in conflict with the law, immigrant and refugee children, children infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS, and children of sex workers, etc). The Committee urges the State party to use these indicators and data effectively in the formulation of legislation, policies and programmes for the effective implementation of the Convention. Dissemination of the Convention 22. The Committee notes with appreciation the State party’s efforts to involve members of civil society, including children, in the preparation of its periodic report. It also notes with appreciation the State party’s efforts to disseminate the Convention, including its translation into Thai and various local dialects, and its availability in audio form and in Braille. It is encouraged that various training courses and programmes that have been developed on the Convention and on child rights in general, and that child rights issues have been made part of the national public school curriculum at the primary and secondary levels. Despite these efforts, the Committee remains concerned that children and the general public at large remain insufficiently aware of the Convention.
