Strengthening monitoring and evaluation of children’s rights
Establishing a sustainable stakeholder consultation mechanism in Luxembourg
Highlights
The Convention on the Rights of the Child has become the pillar of international collaboration to promote the protection of children and safeguard their well-being.
Since its adoption by the General Assembly of the United Nations more than thirty years ago, significant progress has been made in this area. This progress must take into account the challenges, often linked to the development of society or the economic situation in which the children live.
Over the last years, Luxembourg has made significant progress in the area of child rights, child poverty and social exclusion and recently adopted two cornerstone policy documents. First, in May 2022, Luxembourg adopted its first National Strategy and Action Plan on the Rights of the Child 2022-2026) in response to the recommendation by the Committee on the Rights of the Child and building on the Council of Europe Strategy on the Rights of the Child (2022-2027). Both these strategic documents reflect the concerted action and commitment to the promotion of children's rights in Luxembourg and call for a sound monitoring framework and effective participatory processes to ensure their effective implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
