CRC concluding observations 2023, paragraph 15
Plain English recommendation
Government should: Reintroduce the target of giving 0.7 per cent of gross national income to overseas development and ensure that children’s rights are fully considered when making trade agreements, and in all development aid work.
Original UN recommendation
The Committee commends the State party for its commitment to meet the internationally agreed target of allocating 0.7 per cent of gross national income to official development assistance. Recalling target 17.2 of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Committee encourages the State party to regain the target as soon as possible and adopt a children’s rights-based approach in respect of its trade agreements and development aid policy and programmes.
