Paragraph
Paragraph text
A national strategy helps to shape a vision and mobilize action and resources for violence prevention and response. With strategic time-bound goals, it provides a navigation chart to stimulate and monitor progress, and support a process of lasting change. To be effective, the strategy needs to be mainstreamed in the national policy and development agenda, adequately supported by sound human and financial resources, and evaluated on a regular basis; and it needs to be coordinated by a high-level focal point with leading responsibilities on children's issues and with authority to articulate activities across governmental departments, in association with relevant stakeholders.
