The plan aims to clarify responsibilities of ministries and local authorities in ensuring the rights of the child and realizing the recommendations of the UN Committee.

In the 2014-2016 period, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs is in charge of crafting mechanisms to implement the legitimate rights of the child at local level; suggest policies in favor of disadvantageous children especially community-based model; and reduce the rate of children with disabilities.

The Ministry of Education and Training is responsible for building a national action plan on publicising the rights of child and disseminating the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).

The Ministry of Health is asked to raise teenagers' awareness of accessing services on reproductive health and gender./
