Coordination of the implementation of the ACRWC: 27. The coordinated implementation of conventions and treaties relating to the rights of the child signed by Benin is attributed by decree to several structures. Firstly, the Commission on the Rights of the Child was created in 1999 to assume responsibility for the coordination, protection and promotion of child rights. Its mission is, inter alia, to ensure the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (Article No 2 of Decree No. 99-559 of November 22, 1999). 28. The DFEA is governed by Decree No. 1384/MFASSNHPTA/DC/SGM/DFEA/SA on Organization and Functioning. As such it is responsible for: - ensuring the popularization and effective application of legal texts in favor of the child. - contributing to the preservation of family cohesion - coordinating and monitoring the implementation of action plans on family and children. - coordinating the actions of NGOs in the field of child protection and the promotion of family values - following up programs and projects, resolutions and recommendations made during national and international meetings on children and family. - ensuring nutritional surveillance for children under 5 years old 29. In support of the DPJEJ, the coordination for the implementation of the ACRWC is ensured by the National Monitoring and Coordination Unit for Child Protection (CNSCPE), a melting pot for reflection and action composed of governmental structures, local and international NGOs and technical and financial partners for development. The celebration of African Child Days in accordance with the themes and guidance notes of the Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child is a forum for all stakeholders to exchange and share information about the implementation of the ACRWC. However, Benin has not yet submitted to this committee a report on the practical organization of these days. 30. International assistance in the implementation of the ACRWC: 31.
