Further inputs from UNICEF New York

Dear Alfonso,

I have one suggestion to make which is borne out of my field experience and previous interaction with the Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva. I would suggest that an arrangement be made for some of the committee members (especially country rapporteurs) to be involved and participate in critical  milestone events when the
CCA/UNDAF or transitional frameworks are being prepared. This could be at prioritization workshops or Joint Strategy meetings. Their inputs and "independent views" would add an important voice to the process. They would critically examine the extent to which the UN is supporting priority human rights-related issues raised in the Treaty Bodies reports such as CEDAW Concluding comments or CRC concluding
observations..

Let me know if you need further clarification on this suggestion.
