The Agenda for action against commercial sexual exploitation of children provides a detailed framework and categories of actions to be taken by governments in partnership and other relevant actors for combating commercial sexual crimes against children. Broadly, these actions are focused on : coordination and cooperation, prevention, recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration, child participation. The Agenda for action is thus the formal and guiding structure used by governments that have adopted it and committed to work against CSEC. In Uganda, a National Plan of Action against child sexual abuse and exploitation was developed in 2003. But it is still awaiting official adoption. It should become an integral part of the Poverty Eradication action Plan so that it can attract the financial resources necessary to implement its provisions. It is also recommended that the Plan be reviewed as its term expires in 2007, and change in the situation of children as well as recent developments must be considered in an updated Plan. |
