(v) coordinating the management of Boy Scouts and Girls Guides; (vi) allowing the conduct of other positive cultural activities such as jando (for boys) and unyago (for girls); religious activities (retreats/ziara); and early morning joggings (there are efforts to fomalize them); and (vii) convening the Girl Power Festival (Nguvu ya Binti na Malengo ya Maendeleo 2030), which was convened for the first time on 10 October 2015 to mark the commemoration of the International Day of the Girl Child. Challenges 177. Despite undertaking the foregoing measures, the State Party faces several challenges in its endeavours to ensure that children in its jurisdiction do effectively realize their rights to recreation, leisure and participation in cultural activities. Some of the challenges are: (a) some local government authorities (particularly those in urban areas) do not allocate adequate open spaces for children’s recreation, and where they exist some of them do not have prerequisite facilities as result of lack of adequate funding for the same; (b) there is still low awareness on the need for allocating adequate spaces for children’s recreation and participation in cultural activites amongst most decision- and policy- makers as well as town planners. This has been exhibited in the lack of clear provision for such areas in most town master plans; and (c) there are still in existence in some communities in the State Party of negative cultural beliefs about the need for children to be allowed to adequately participate in leisure, recreation and cultural activities, which result in parents’ prohibiting children to doso. (e) Specifies the nature and extent of cooperation with local, national and international Organizations, concerning the implementation of this area of the children charter. 178. The State Party, in collaboration with local government authorities and international as well as local NGOs, continues to support the education efforts through the programs, policy and legislative such as UNICEF, UNESCO, the African Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank, Save the Children, Plan Internationa and other stakeholders. IX. SPECIAL PROTECTION MEASURES (a) Children in situations of emergency: Refugee Children and Children Involved in Armed Conflicts (Articles 22 and 25) 179. The State Party has put in place effective policy, legislative and administrative mechanisms to provide support and assistance to refugee, returnee and displaced children in context of the provisions of Articles 25 of the Charter. The State Party has also undertaken similar specific measures for protection and care of children involved in armed conflicts not only in its jursidction but also in negigjbouting countries in light of Article 22 of the Charter. For that matter, the State Party has continued to implement the National Refugee Policy (2003), the Refugee Act (1998) and the Law of the Child Act (2009), all of which strive to provide appropriate assistance to refugees, including refugee children. 180. Following the suspension in June 2011 of the naturalization and local integration programme that had begun, the President of Tanzania in September 2014 authorized the relevant authorities to commence the issuance of naturalization certificates to over 162,000 former Burundian refugees. This new development calls on UNHCR and other partners to rapidly respond to this opportunity to find permanent solutions for this population. This plan seeks to offer citizenship to former Burundian refugees (including their children) living in the country since the 1972 civil 50
