National Strategy for Children and Adolescents

The National Strategy for Children and Adolescents to 2030 was developed by the Strategic Coordination Committee (CCE) on policies for children and adolescents (CCE) with the support of the United Nations System in Uruguay and the National Association of NGOs (ANONG). It is a document that brings together the conclusions of a participatory process that was carried out between August and October 2008 to define national objectives and strategic guidelines for public policies for children and adolescents by 2030, with the aim of complying with international regulations on the protection of the rights of children and young people. Several social actors participated in the debates, as well as institutional representatives of the Ministries involved in the CCE and the National Council for Social Policy, as well as the four political parties with parliamentary representation at that time. Specifically, three debates were held in which approximately 150 people participated, around three axes: Demographic Sustainability, Social Sustainability and Democratic Sustainability. To formulate the Strategy, a consultation was also carried out through surveys of children and adolescents under the title "I have an opinion and it counts" (span. "Opino y Vale"), which reached about 4,500 individuals.
