A/66/227 violence against children. Thus, it is a strategic opportunity to gain a perspective on the progress achieved, to reflect on good practices and success factors, and to boost efforts to overcome persistent challenges in and generate renewed momentum towards the protection of children from violence. 76. With this in mind, the Special Representative is conducting a global survey to map and assess progress in the implementation of the study’s recommendations. The survey will be developed in close collaboration with partners, including Governments, United Nations agencies, regional organizations and institutions, and civil society and children’s organizations. The significant analytical reviews conducted in a number of regions, including by the League of Arab States, the South Asia Initiative to End Violence against Children and MERCOSUR, will be an essential component of this process. 77. The survey will also build upon relevant initiatives and processes, including the universal periodic review process in the Human Rights Council, the process of reporting to the Committee on the Rights of the Child and other treaty bodies, and the follow-up to the World Congresses against Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents and to the Roadmap for Achieving the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour by 2016, adopted at the Hague Global Child Labour Conference in 2010. 78. In cooperation with civil society partners, a special effort will be made to take into account the views of children and young people. The participation and expertise of children were critical in the development of the study and have remained indispensable in its follow-up, including through regional youth forums and the formal representation of children in regional governance structures. 79. The survey is intended to assess progress achieved in the implementation of the recommendations of the study and to help shape a forward-looking agenda. In this connection, an analytical report detailing the outcomes of the survey will be submitted to the General Assembly in 2012, at which time the Assembly will review the three-year mandate and consider further follow-up to the study. III. Strategic partnerships and the institutionalization of regional governance structures to accelerate progress 6 80. The Special Representative remains firmly committed to further strengthening strategic alliances for the protection of children from all forms of violence, within and beyond the United Nations system. Important institutional collaboration mechanisms have been established in support of her mandate, including the InterAgency Working Group on Violence against Children, the non-governmental organization Advisory Council for the follow-up to the study on violence against children, and regional high-level governance structures established for the follow-up to the study. __________________ 6 16 This section complements the information provided in A/HRC/16/54. 11-44118
