A/HRC/43/40/Add.1 68. The Special Rapporteur concludes that there is more to be done regarding prevention. The National Commission for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings has taken steps to conduct specialized training and workshops on the identification and referral of cases of trafficking in human beings, including for investigators, magistrates, social workers, labour mediators and local anti-trafficking administrations. Several awarenessraising and communication campaigns have been completed at national and local levels, but their impact is unclear. There are discrepancies in the capacity-building efforts and regarding a common understanding of the needs and protection requirements of child victims among different agencies and professionals working with child survivors. This often results in poorly informed decisions and inadequate provision of long-term support for children. According to interlocutors, there is a need for targeted national campaigns to change the public attitude that children are passive objects of intervention or possessions of their families. 69. Prevention measures must be based on accurate data. Data collection and coordination is largely inconsistent and continues to be a challenge, owing to the lack of a centralized database and of uniform methods for collecting and analysing information. A large amount of the information in the child protection sector is dispersed among various institutions responsible for child-related policies. There are some discrepancies between data collected by NGOs and the official data in the child protection system. It is of utmost importance that a proper system for comprehensive data gathering is established so that analyses can inform policy development and preventive strategies. 70. The existence of numerous coordinating entities makes sustained and coherent coordination difficult. Coordination is hampered by the lack of synchronization between child protection actors involved in the identification and referral of cases. The Special Rapporteur was told that the State Agency for Child Protection had neither the means to coordinate nor direct supervision over the services provided and placement decisions made by the staff of the Social Assistance Agency. Despite the introduction of the coordination mechanism for cooperation in cases of children who are victims of or at risk of violence and in cases of crisis intervention, the lack of data sharing between child protection services, the police and the judiciary remains an issue. This has a direct impact on ensuring holistic interventions, the provision of long-term care and rehabilitation and accessible and sustainable counselling and follow-up for child victims of sexual abuse. IV. Conclusions and recommendations A. Conclusions 71. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the legislative, institutional and policy measures taken to improve the child protection system and conclude the deinstitutionalization process. She also notes the efforts made to combat trafficking in children and the progress achieved regarding unaccompanied and asylum-seeking children. Significant work still remains to put prevention, care, recovery and integration at the forefront of child protection policies, dedicate adequate resources to tackle and eradicate the root causes and risk factors of the sale and sexual exploitation of the most vulnerable children, and provide them with appropriate care, recovery and rehabilitation. There is also a need to accelerate the reform of the juvenile justice system, improve procedures for identifying and referring children and ensure coordination within child protection services. 72. Child protection has been largely driven by fragmented reforms and a poorly coordinated child protection system. The care and recovery services provided to child victims suffer from insufficient funding, inadequate staffing and training, lack of oversight of performance and poorly collected and poorly centralized data. Other discrepancies pertain to insufficient funding of child protection systems focusing on children at risk, a lack of specialized support services and of a workforce trained to deal with cases of sexual abuse, and a lack of common understanding among various stakeholders on the provision of protection measures, care and recovery.
