Bangladesh appreciated efforts to ensure greater access to education, health care, safe drinking water and sanitation. Noting treaty body concerns, it urged the international community to support efforts to implement the poverty reduction strategy paper and other national development programmes. It recommended that (a) with the support of the international community, the State further strengthen the national security forces and law enforcement agencies through various capacity-building measures; and (b) with the assistance of the international community, it undertake a multipronged approach to improve the situation of children with greater focus on ensuring universal primary education, reducing infant and child mortality and rehabilitation of child combatants. 68. Concerning security, the delegation of the Central African Republic stated that a committee had been created and that the process of disarming the rebels was under way, which should result in greater security. In addition, barracks had been established to ensure the security of civilian populations. 69.

However, the school enrolment rate for girls stood at 60 per cent and would increase with infrastructure creation. 70.
