National Council of Children and Adolescents (CNNA)
The National Council of Children and Adolescents (Span. CNNA) is a democratic innovation created in the context of the formation of the national system of protection of children and adolescents in Ecuador, since the adoption of the National Organic Law of Children and Adolescents. The Council was established as a national council composed of equal numbers of representatives of civil society and the State in order to define, implement and enforce policies in this area. There are four representatives of civil society, coming from NGOs and community organizations legally constituted and whose purpose is the attention, protection and defense of the rights of adolescence and childhood. In 2008, following the new constitutional charter, it entered the process of transition towards the establishment of the "National Council for Equality between Generations."
