To include the issues of child protection in the ongoing National Action Plan related to children, a memorandum was handed over to Joint Secretary Ms. Indu Ghimire of the Ministry of Women, Children, and Senior Citizens on 26th Magh 2080 (February 9, 2024), on behalf of the National Child Protection Alliance (NCPA) and the CSO Forum for Sustainable Development Goal 8.7.
This memorandum has been prepared by the NCPA and the CSO Forum for Sustainable Development Goal 8.7 by collecting advice, suggestions, and issues from programs conducted at various federal, provincial, and local levels regarding child protection. We have full hope and belief that the points mentioned in the memorandum we have submitted will be included in the upcoming national action plan.
On this occasion, an introductory program with the newly elected members of the National Child Protection Alliance’s executive committee was also completed with the Joint Secretary.
