SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2015, para. 30
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Lack of data and research remain pressing challenges, but promising progress has taken place in that area with the development of national data surveys on violence against children in a number of countries in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. Those efforts helped to inform the design and implementation of multisectoral policy and programme responses, the promotion of training initiatives and the issuance of guidance for professionals. In support of that process, in October 2014, the Special Representative joined the Government of Cambodia in launching its national household survey, the first to be completed in the East Asia and Pacific region.
