UN Special Session on Children Norway’s
National Plan of Action
The
UN Special Session on Children, which was held on 8-10 May 2002, resulted in a
final document, “A World Fit for Children”, which was adopted by all member
states. The final document contains a Declaration and a Plan of Action with
clearly defined goals relating to health, education, HIV/AIDS and the
protection of children from abuse, exploitation and violence. Member states
committed themselves, by the end of 2003, to formulating national plans of
action containing a set of specific time-bound and measurable goals and
strategies based on the global Plan of Action. The National Plan of Action must
be an integral part of the Government’s child and youth policy and must be
formulated in cooperation with civil society, NGOs, children and their
families.
