Policy, standards and regulations
In 2016, UNICEF teamed with EDF for the following EU financed Action “Protecting children from violence and promoting social inclusion of children with disabilities in Western Balkans and Turkey”. The three-year action seeks to empower civil society to better monitor the realisation of children’s rights, to promote inclusive and innovative services, increase public support for the protection of children from violence and social inclusion of children with disabilities.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
In the framework of the Action, EDF is providing regional expert technical support in the writing and publication of the CRPD alternative reporting and facilitating national and regional DPO networking and capacity building. EDF is currently exploring with UNICEF further avenues to continue the project with a focus on deinstitutionalisation.
