CHILD PROTECTION and THE MDGs-Goal 8

Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development
Child protection demands inter-sectoral cooperation at the national and international levels. UNICEF’s approach entails creating a protective environment for children. This means partnering with other UN agencies, governments, civil society, the private sector and international non-governmental organizations to put protective systems in place by strengthening government commitment, promoting adequate legislation, building systems and capacities,providing services, addressing attitudes and customs, monitoring and reporting, developing children’s life skills, and encouraging open discussion.
