A Review of National Program of Action for Children for 1990s in the South Asia Region

2002

This review of the National Program of Action (NPA) for the SAARC region was commissioned by UNICEF Regional
Office South Asia (ROSA) to identify and record lessons learned from the implementation of the NPA in the region during the 1990s. The review draws lessons from the formulation process and strategies adopted by SAARC countries to achieve the World Summit Goals; the cost of implementing these strategies; the success of these strategies in achieving the WSG; reporting mechanisms; and adherence of the NPA to the child rights approach.
