cities recognition and accreditation program
What is a Child-friendly City?
“A child-friendly city is a system of good local governance committed to the fullest implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child” (UNICEF 2004)
http://www.childfriendlycities.org/
UNICEF’s Child-friendly Cities Initiative
UNICEF Child Friendly City Initiative through its UNICEF country and regional offices and national commissions aims to guide cities and other systems of local governance in the inclusion of children’s rights as a key component of their goals, policies, programmes and structures.
UNICEF’s Child-friendly Cities
http://www.childfriendlycities.org/
There are 62 countries supporting UNICEF child friendly cities initiatives and many thousands of cities who are working to be or are accredited as child friendly cities.
Brazil alone has over 1700 child friendly cities in rural regions and 200 urban cities registered in their program

UNICEF’s Child-friendly Cities Research Initiative
Child Friendly Cities Research Initiative aims to improve policy development for children at the local level by promoting awareness of children’s rights among stakeholders, mobilising communities and children, and generating data on the situation of children in participating cities and communities.

UNICEF’s Child-friendly Cities Research Initiative
The initiative provides a package of participatory assessment tools which are designed to be easily adapted to local contexts and to be used by a variety of actors including children themselves, caregivers, community providers and municipal authorities.
http://www.childfriendlycities.org/
UNICEF’s Child-Friendly Cities Indicators
Criteria and indicators based on Convention on Rights of Children have been developed in different countries to determine the level of child friendliness of cities and towns of different sizes.
In the case of an accreditation mechanism or award strategy, only a city, town or community that performs well according to the indicators defined is considered a child friendly city.
http://www.childfriendlycities.org/
UNICEF’s Child-Friendly Cities Accreditation
Aim: To improve children’s lives
Key approach: Promoting good local governance; Children’s participation; Placing children and their rights at the centre
Task: Municipalities commit to developing a strategy to improve and monitor the situation of children and to mobilize adequate resources to achieve specific agreed upon goals.

Major Issues for Children in Kazakhstan
Educational integration children with disabilities and special needs - Kazakhstan
Recommendations from Review
Children and youth should be integral to, and participants in, the implementation, monitoring and judging of a city in terms of its commitment to changing children’s life conditions and the cities evidence of quality in delivering programs for child friendliness;
Issues of equity and children’s non-discrimination are core and should be fundamental elements of the criteria for evaluating the quality of child friendliness;
Recommendations from Review
Criteria and indicators used to assess child friendliness should be generic for the country and adapted directly from key articles in UNICEF Convention on the Rights of the Child;
A recognition model should be initiated to support cities who are starting their child friendly cities program and this model should have a pathway into the accreditation program;
Recommendations from Review
A city is not competing against other cities but against its own achievements, therefore providing detailed baseline data and having a city wide strategy and action plan is critical for cities in the beginning stages in order for cities to provide on going monitoring, assessment and evidence of improvement;
Recommendations from Review
Cities should be accredited at different levels (i.e. bronze, silver, gold) of child friendliness according to the different stages they are at in terms of addressing the needs of children in their city with these different levels having different time limits;
The maximum time for a city to be accredited as child friendly without resubmitting for reaccreditation should be 5 years.

The best judge of how a city is providing for its children is the children and their families therefore a child friendly city strategy has at its heart the role of children and families as key knowledge generators and monitors of actions, services and facilities.
