The
IIN’s Strategic Plan 2005-2008 recommends that National Systems on
Children be able to provide appropriate responses to the problems and
needs of children and adolescents whose rights are violated and who are
not protected by universal Public Policies while living under
circumstances of vulnerability, risk, marginalization or exclusion.
In
order to facilitate such responses, the IIN proposes a methodological
model called Prototype of Public Focused Policies on Children (PPF). This
Prototype tries to contribute appropriate methodologies for the
implementation of PPF but does not pretend to have a universal formula.
There is not such a thing as ready made answers to attend to the needs of
children in the different countries and contexts. Those answers must be
found through joint and articulated efforts of the competent State and
Civil Society organizations.
Objectives
of the PPF Prototype
As
a methodological model, the PPF Prototype tries to achieve the following
objectives:
-
Promote the right to equal opportunity for children and adolescents
living under circumstances of vulnerability and social risk.
-
Assure protection, assistance and opportunities to those most
vulnerable and most violated in their rights.
-
Develop proper systems of assistance in tune with the needs and
demands.
-
Provide the opportunities and options to the most deprived sectors
as established in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Articles
of the Convention on the Rights of the Child that are presently dealt with
in the PPF Prototype:
a)
Art 23 on Handicapped Children
b)
Art 32 on Child Labor
c)
Art 33 on Drug abuse
d)
Art 34 on Sexual Exploitation
