EVALUATING THE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERSECTORAL COOPERATION MECHANISMS
IN THE FIELD OF CHILD RIGHTS PROTECTION
Highlights
This Report was prepared following the independent evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of the intersectoral cooperation mechanisms in the field of child rights protection carried out in the first half of 2020 at the request of the People's Advocate for Children's Rights with support of UNICEF Moldova.
According to the Terms of Reference three mechanisms were mainly considered, including the intersectoral cooperation mechanism in the medical and social field in order to prevent and reduce the maternal and infant mortality rate of children up to 5 years old at home, the intersectoral cooperation mechanism for the identification, assessment, referral, assistance and monitoring of child victims and potential victims of violence, neglect, exploitation and trafficking, as well as the intersectoral cooperation mechanism for the primary prevention of child welfare risks. Other mechanisms such as the National Referral System for the protection and assistance of victims and potential victims of trafficking in human beings were also partially considered, as well as the provisions of Law 299/2018 on measures and services for children with deviant behavior, which establish the creation of an intersectoral cooperation mechanism regarding the implementation of measures for children with deviant behavior.
The evaluation as well as the elaboration of this report were performed by Mariana Ianachevici, consultant in child protection and Tatiana Danilescu, lawyer, consultant in child protection.
