National Committee for the Eradication of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents (CONAPEES)
The National Committee for the Eradication of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents (CONAPEES) was born after the participation of Uruguay in the First World Congress against Sexual Exploitation held in Stockholm in 1996, as well as the Second World Congress Held in Yokohama in 2001. Since 2002, the then National Children's Institute has begun working on the theme in conjunction with civil society organizations and international organizations. CONAPEES was formalized in 2004 by Decree 385/004 and established in 2005. The Committee is now under the responsibility of the Institute of Children and Adolescents of Uruguay (INAU). It is composed of delegates from several national ministries and institutes and three representatives of civil society. It also has, as permanent advisor, a representative of the Inter-American Children's Institute (IIN) and a representative of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Its objective is to plan and propose measures and policies on the subject as well as to carry out projects, connect stakeholders for the implementation of national and international rights and evaluate their implementation. One of the central activities is the formulation and follow-up of the National Plans for the eradication of commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents, for which they also invite other representatives of civil society to participate.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
