transferred from the central to the county governments have resigned due to delayed salaries and removal of allowances. There is also lack of medical equipment in the county health care centers. The Committee recommends and calls upon the State Party to take the following measures: a. Push county governments increase the budget they allocate for health care services; b. Improve the managerial systems of the county governments through capacity building and incentives; c. Improve the medical facilities available within the health care centers; 9. The Committee appreciates the State’s effort in strengthening its collaboration with CSOs and the vibrant CSO community in the country. But the Committee is concerned that the Public Benefit Organisations amendments to the 2013 Act might reduce the engagement of CSOs and therefore encourages the State Party to undertake a continuous review of the Act. Even though the purpose of limiting the fund is to keep the CSOs accountable, it should be taken into account that it has implications on their tasks and the support they render to the government as well as the society as a whole. Hence, the Committee suggests that the State Party reconsider the imposition of restrictions on the funding of CSOs. 10. The Committee commends the data collection process both at the ministerial and national level; among others it appreciates the national census conducted every 10 years. As data collection is the main tool in devising the State’s policies, the government should give due attention to disaggregated data collection in all the counties. The Committee urges the State Party to expedite the setting up of the Child Protection System and also to disaggregate children’s data based on sex, disability, geographical location, family earning and parental status, so as to guide the State in resource allocation. The Committee refers the State Party to the Committee’s reporting guidelines in this respect. 11. The Committee is aware that there is a serious security issue in the country. However, the Committee recommends that security concerns should not compromise the rights of children as enshrined in the Charter. 12. Taking note of the decisions rendered by the Committee, and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, the Committee regrets that there is a huge gap in the implementation of decisions concerning the Nubian children and their access to birth registration and the necessary documentation. The Committee rendered a decision in 2011, but the State has not implemented the decision fully and the situation remains to be the same for unregistered children. The Committee urges the State Party to urgently take measures to comply with the decision of the Committee as well as that of the Commission. 4
