The workshop brought together government stakeholders, OSD and SCI staff to discuss key child rights priorities including children in street situations, harmful child labour, trafficking, disability inclusion, birth registration, adolescent health, child-responsive budgeting, and climate change as a child rights issue. Participants reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening collaboration, mobilizing resources, and ensuring that children are prioritized in policies, budgets, and development plans. The workshop also highlighted the importance of investing in children as a pathway to sustainable development and improved outcomes for all children.
