Development partners have launched a toolkit to ensure Bangladesh children's rights as well as initiatives to promote their well-being.
UNICEF and the European Union (E.U.) at a program in Dhaka launched the "Child Rights Toolkit: Integrating child rights in development cooperation" on Tuesday.
It will provide practical guidance to all donors and concerned social actors on how to operationalize a rights-based, child- focused approach to development programming, budgeting, policy- making and law-making.
Pierre Mayaudon, ambassador and head of the E.U. Delegation to Bangladesh, said "This toolkit aims to ensure that children's rights as well as initiatives to promote the well-being of all children can be effectively integrated and applied across programs of bilateral and multilateral development assistance."
According to a UNICEF statement, the toolkit contains more than 80 innovative and easy-to-use tools in eight thematic modules covering child rights in development programming, child participation and impact assessments, child rights in governance, in crisis situations and budgeting. Endi
