CRC/C/THA/CO/3-4 in indicators such as gender, disability, health, education, standard of living and geographical location related to children’s rights; (d) Define general strategic budgetary lines, and sectoral and local government allocations for children in disadvantaged or vulnerable situations that may require temporary social measures, including affirmative action, and make sure that those budgetary lines and allocations are protected even in situations of economic crisis, natural disasters or other emergencies. Corruption 21. While noting as positive the efforts made by the State party to combat corruption, the Committee is concerned about the reports indicating that corruption remains pervasive among, inter alia, municipal and local government officials and law enforcement personnel, and thus diverts resources that could enhance the efficacy of government policies and programmes to implement the rights of the child. 22. The Committee urges the State party to strengthen its efforts to combat corruption at all levels and sectors, including by developing and implementing a vigorous anti-corruption policy, carrying out anti-corruption campaigns and strengthening institutional capacities to effectively detect, investigate and prosecute cases of corruption. Data collection 23 The Committee notes the establishment of the National Information Centre and the National Statistical Office, which maintain data in some areas of children’s rights and a database on children with disabilities. However, it is concerned that there is no effective system of data collection covering all areas of the Convention which would allow for assessment, analysis and evaluation of the data and information on laws, policies, plans and programmes for children based on the Convention. 24. The Committee urges the State party to build the capacity of and establish a comprehensive data-collection system capable of analyzing and evaluating data on progress achieved in the realization of child rights and providing a basis for designing policies and programmes to implement the Convention. The data should be disaggregated by age, sex, geographic location, ethnicity and socio-economic background of all children. Dissemination and awareness-raising 25. The Committee is concerned about the lack of a systematic and sustained programme of public education including campaigns on children’s rights to continuously raise the awareness of the public at large, including children and their families. 26. The Committee recommends that the State party take necessary measures to implement appropriate information and communication programmes, including campaigns, to strengthen awareness of the public, including children, of the principles and provisions of the Convention. The Committee encourages the State party to intensify its efforts to disseminate the Convention to parents, the wider public and children, including through appropriate materials tailored specifically for children in different socio-economic and socio-cultural communities, as well as to legislators and judges with a view to ensuring that the principles and provisions of the Convention are applied in the legislative and judicial processes. In this regard, the Committee further encourages the State party to seek technical assistance from, inter alia, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Office of the United Nations High 5
