The United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF has pledged to support Kaduna State Government to undertake a Situation Analysis on Children, SITAN in the state.
The support would provide an analytical approach for government to understand the situation of children and women in the State for proper interventions.
The Deputy Director, Development Aid Coordination, Planning and Budget Commission, Yusuf Auta, made this known at a one-day workshop in Kaduna, organised for SITAN Thematic Group, tasked to look at human rights-based casual analysis, as well as role and capacity gap-analysis.
He said that SITAN would also provide an analysis on gender and equity issues that continued to hinder the realisation of positive outcomes of interventions for children and women, adding that the analysis would identify the capacity gaps of all responsible parties at all levels, towards addressing children issues.
Auta also said that four thematic groups were formed, namely: child survival, education and development, child-protection and poverty and socio-economic vulnerability.
