I. General implementation measures of the Charter 40. By ratifying the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, Algeria has not only made this instrument a supranational norm but it has also committed itself to abide by it in law and in fact, under the control of the Constitutional Council and the State Council, and to own all the provisions of the Charter, which constitute imperative references while developing legal instruments, from the authority act to the circular. 41. In fact, since 1999, Algeria has accomplished tremendous efforts to adapt its legislation to provisions of international and regional instruments, which it has ratified. The legal arsenal has gone through and is still going through a series of actions in order to be adapted to the conventions ratified by Algeria. 42. Willing to promote and protect child rights, Algeria, like any other State party of the ACRWC, has put in place a Plan of action (2008- 2015) for the children, which is called « The NPA for an Algeria fit for children ». This Plan has set priorities and goals, which are part of the national strategy for national development, and also respond to the measures recommended in the declaration on the Global Summit on Children. 43. These goals are from several sectors and take into account logistic and financial constraints of each sector. 44. The actions planned in the NPA aim to reinforce the gains, to adapt them to the conjectural demands and to face the challenges of full participation of children in social and cultural life. 45. Since 2006, various activities have been undertaken for the implementation of the NPA. It is possible to mention the following activities, classified by year from 2006 to 2011: - National conference on children - 5th symposium on child protection - Intersectorial commission on children - Through a partnership between the departments of the former Junior Ministry in charge of the Family and Women advancement (MDCFCF) and UNICEF, the Council of Beni- Saf (Wilaya of Ain Témouchent) was designated « child friendly city », with the aim to promote the cause of children across the city, promote actions to improve their daily life, develop participation and listen to children and youth.
