These various initiatives and actions, led with tenacity under the effective chairmanship of HRH Princess Lalla Meryem despite the constraints linked to the health crisis, are intended to show the role of the processes of awareness-raising, observation, dialogue and stimulus for demonstrative projects at the national level embodied by ONDE, said the 2020 report.
During this year, the Observatory ensured the follow-up and the execution of the commitments made by the various stakeholders in the National Pact for Children, signed before HRH Princess Lalla Meryem in November 2019 in Marrakesh, the dissemination of the results of the "Rabat, city protective of its children" initiative with the actors concerned at the local, national and continental levels.
ONDE also conducted actions to support children during the period of quarantine, to implement the national program to fight against sexual abuse and violence, to strengthen and digitize the participation of children during the Covid-19 period, as well as partnership projects.
In the current context, more and more questions are being asked about the effectiveness of the child protection system, which requires a better convergence of initiatives in favor of the most vulnerable, noted the report.
The ONDE will further consolidate the partnership with stakeholders in the field to support changes and improve intervention programs in order to ensure their quality, and will allow the various players to measure the performance of the sector and identify weaknesses as well as ways for improvement through the information system which is being designed by its teams, added the same source.
It underlined that in accordance with the missions entrusted to it since its creation in 1995, the National Observatory for the Rights of Children continuous to play, under the effective chairmanship of HRH Princess Lalla Meryem, its role as an independent institution in charge of monitoring the implementation by the Kingdom of Morocco of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
