A/HRC/27/31 (d) Provide access to essential medicines for addressing child mortality and morbidity included in the WHO list of essential medicines for children;29 (e) Adopt evidence-based interventions to support good parenting, including parenting skills education, support group and family counselling, especially for families experiencing children’s health and other social challenges;30 (f) Ensure functional systems for the prevention, identification and reporting of abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation of children while in the care of parents or other caretakers;31 (g) Ensure the participation of affected populations and other stakeholders in implementing efforts to address child mortality and morbidity. This might include, for example, consulting parents and caregivers on their priorities for addressing child mortality and morbidity, or involving community members in health facility management committees; (h) Ensure, including through the analysis of disaggregated data, that the implementation of policies, programmes and services does not discriminate against any segment of the population and that, where necessary, additional efforts are made to reach populations of children who are marginalized or discriminated against; (i) Reduce reliance on out-of-pocket payments for health services by providing social protection or sharing financial risks across the population, which promotes access to services by the most marginalized populations. F. Monitoring and evaluation 60. Monitoring and evaluation of data relating to child mortality and morbidity, collected regularly and rigorously, are required to track fulfilment of relevant human rights as well as to inform policies, programmes and services. Well-functioning health information and surveillance systems should ensure that data are reliable, transparent and consistent, while protecting the right to privacy of children and their families. Data should be disaggregated to reveal which groups of children are being left behind and should be regularly used to track progress and direct action. 61. National accountability mechanisms should monitor, review and recommend remedial action based on their findings. Monitoring means providing data on the health status of children, the quality of children’s health services, and how much is spent, where, on what and on whom. This should include both routine monitoring and periodic, in-depth evaluations. Reviewing means analysing the data and consulting children, families, other caregivers and civil society to determine whether children’s health has improved and whether governments and other actors have fulfilled their commitments. Acting means using evidence emerging from those processes to repeat and expand what is working and to remedy and reform what is not.32 28 29 30 31 32 14 The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, A Global Review of the Key Interventions Related to Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, (Geneva,2011).
