Because of the lack of overall coordination, different sectors have created thematic coordination mechanisms: - The CIM and the CNS; - The PNOEV (with financial support from PEPFAR, the World Bank and UNICEF) for coordinating the Action for OVC because of HIV-AIDS; - Thematic Group on Gender and Development (GTGD), coordinated by the Directorate of Equality and Gender Promotion of the Ministry in charge of gender issues with technical support from UNFPA, which is the body coordination for everything concerning gender-based violence; - The protection of the Child Forum, or "Child Protection Forum", which was created under the coordination of the humanitarian response that includes international organizations such as UNICEF, Save the Children, IRC, BICE. Local NGOs are represented through a representative of the Forum of NGOs and associations for Care and Assistance to children in difficulty. The Government is not represented, but invited depending on the themes addressed. RAPPORT INITIAL SUR LA MISE EN OEUVRE DE LA CHARTE AFRICAINE DES DROITS ET DU BIEN ÊTRE DE L'ENFANT 19
