Report on the Child Rights Governance Consultation, Kathmandu, Nepal

This report was compiled following the Child Rights Governance consultation that took place in March 2011 in Kathmandu. During the three-day international consultation on children and governance, participants representing almost all the countries in the region debated the issue of effective and improved governance for children. The consultation broadly aimed to explore mutual benefits and support in working towards improved child rights governance in the South and Central Asia region; share information on the Child Rights Governance Global Initiative and CRG work in the region; discuss and plan how child rights governance can be strengthened in the region; and learn and discuss how to use the UN Universal Periodic Review mechanism for human rights to monitor and advance the fulfilment of children’s rights.
