The National Action Plan for a Child-Friendly Germany 2005–2010 (NAP) was an initiative of the German Federal Government that emerged from the final document "A Child-Friendly World" of the United Nations, 2002 in New York. The basis of this action plan is the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN Convention on the Rights of the Child), which was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989 and has so far been ratified by 192 countries around the world.

Subject areas

The basic concern of the German NAP is to improve the living conditions of children and children's rights. For this purpose, it was divided into six subject areas:

  • Growing up without violence (promoting a non-violent upbringing; examining the problem area of violence through neglect of the child )
  • Participation of children and young people (development of quality standards for participation; anchoring children's and participation rights in curricula, training and study regulations and in specific further training offers for relevant specialists)
  • Equal opportunities through education (early and individual support; overcoming the selectivity of the education system and changing to a supportive system)
  • Development of an adequate standard of living for all children (combating the causes of child poverty; showing ways out of poverty-related living situations)
  • Promotion of a healthy life and healthy environmental conditions (avoidance of new health risks; strengthening holistic and interdisciplinary health promotion as well as child and youth-specific treatment)
  • International commitments (fighting poverty and realizing children's rights in developing countries; further development of international conventions for the protection of children)

implementation

The Federal Ministry for Families , Seniors, Women and Youth (Federal Ministry of Family Affairs) was responsible for developing and implementing the NAP . In addition to the lead ministry, however, various other ministries were also involved in the various working groups assigned to the subject areas. In the steering group for the NAP (formerly Bund-Länder-AG) and in the 6 thematic working groups there were also various non-governmental organizations and others. a. represented by the German Federal Youth Council, Kindernothilfe, Deutsche Welthungerhilfe, UNICEF and Misereor.

The Project P initiative initially acted as a portal for information on the NAP, progress and developments from 2004 to 2006 . The initiative was replaced in 2006 by the action program Du machst , which took up the goals and ideas of the initiative and was also directed by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs. In 2008 the initiative For a Child-Friendly Germany started as an official accompanying program .

Child and youth participation

It was essential for the National Action Plan that broad sections of society deal with it and accompany the implementation of the fields of action. In order to achieve the goal of a child-friendly Germany, the participation of children and young people in this dispute was of essential importance. This was to be achieved through a child and youth participation project of the German Federal Youth Association (DBJR) with the participation of the Youth Participation Service Office (SJB) under the direction of Uwe Ostendorff . For the first time, at the specialist congress Protect, Promote and Participate - For a Child-Friendly Germany, through the child and youth participation project, children and young people also actively participated in such a specialist event and gave lectures and debates with scientists and other experts, among others.
