Doha: A three-day training workshop on child rights results-based programmes, organised by the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs in cooperation with the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef), was held yesterday with the participation of representatives of institutions and social institutions.

The aim was to familiarise participants with the general principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and how to use them in applying child rights-based approach in practical and interactive ways through the general provisions and principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and laws that take into account the procedures for children and practical studies.

The training would also cover other key child rights instruments, such as the three optional protocols of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Convention 182 and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A special emphasis was placed on social integration and capacity-building to implement results-based management to improve the effectiveness of programmes.

Participants also learned more about RBM principles by improving knowledge and understanding about concept, design, planning, implementation, monitoring, programme evaluation and documenting results.
