Accountability and Getting to Zero Violence against Children includes five key recommendations:
1) Governments should be held accountable to ensure specific services and enforceable policies that protect children.
2) Health, education and other relevant public sectors should be held accountable for their role in preventing and addressing violence at community levels.
3) Governments are accountable for accessibility and performance of family and child support services to prevent and respond to violence against children, especially those that are most vulnerable
4) In contexts where formal accountability mechanisms linked to the elimination of violence against children are weak or under-developed, innovative partnerships involving government, civil society and the private sector can be an alternative in the short to medium term.
5) Governments must put in place or strengthen national coordination mechanisms to ensure that all relevant stakeholders are engaged in developing national strategies aimed at eliminating violence against children. Sufficient flexibility must be allowed to cater for different local contexts
“By adapting social accountability strategies to address the unique, contextual aspects of child protection, governments, civil society and the public can work together to ensure the Sustainable Development Goals delivers for the vulnerable children who should be at the centre of the new global agenda,” says Tutnjevic.
