IBCR is contributing to the goal of making the world better for children by identifying and providing solutions to the challenges surrounding the full implementation of the CRC. The “Country Profiles” program focuses on countries that have ratified the CRC and its Optional Protocols, and seeks to analyze and determine to which extent these countries have adhered to the CRC. These reports draw attention to progress that has been made, good practices, and remaining challenges. In Decembre 2008, IBCR released a new publication entitled "Faire des droits de l'enfant une réalité: Les profils nationaux du Burundi, du Congo, de la République démocratique du Congo et du Rwanda." In February 2007, IBCR released a new publication entitled "Making Children's Rights Work in North Africa: Country Profiles on Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia." In the Summer of 2006, due to a financial contribution from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), IBCR published, “Making Children's Rights Work: Country Profiles on Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam.”
While IBCR intends to analyze and report on all States Parties to the CRC and its Optional Protocols, the current priority is that of African countries. This is for the reason that, in Africa, the implementation of children's rights is facing multiple challenges. Other regions will follow. Once the first cycle of Country Profiles has been completed, IBCR will periodically review the Country Profiles in order to provide up-to-date information concerning the status of the implementation of children's rights worldwide.
This new publication was made possible thanks to the financial contribution from the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This publication is available in English and Arabic in both electronic (PDF) and hard copy. The Arabic version was made possible thanks to a grant from UNICEF.
