Child Friendly Kazakhstan: Designing and Implementing a National Child Friendly Cities Recognition and Accreditation Program: Research Report

This report is the outcome of research with nation wide key stakeholders and members of the UNICEF office in Kazakhstan to establish a contextually based, unique accreditation and recognition program that would suit the republic of Kazakhstan. UNICEF Kazakhstan jointly with the National Governments Child Rights Committee is planning to launch the national child friendly cities accreditation process with the objective of supporting child friendly cities and community partners in Kazakhstan to develop, implement and monitor their progress in improving the conditions of children lives. The accreditation and recognition process is seen as a mechanism that will allow UNICEF to actively and effectively promote good governance for children and place children central to the Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI) agenda.
