Overseas Development Institute Briefing Paper: "Raising the game: mainstreaming children’s rights"
Raising the game: mainstreaming children's rights. Overseas Development Institute (ODI) Briefing Paper 56, by Caroline Harper & Nicola Jones, November 2009.
From the article:
Key points
• Twenty years on from the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, children’s rights are still not seen as a serious political issue
• Children’s rights should be mainstreamed into broader development policy debates, which requires an understanding of topics beyond a narrow focus on ‘children’s issues’
• Mechanisms are needed to increase the visibility of children in development policy dialogue, including a high-level international commission on the impacts on children of the 3-F crisis (food, financial and fuel)
