The children's rights and responsibility agenda is informed by our Constitution and by the international and regional treaties that we have signed, namely the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UNCRC, and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. As signatories to the UNCRC, we are required to develop a national plan of action for children, NPAC. In this regard, we are reviewing and consulting the 1997 NPAC. Consultations are under way with national departments, provinces, municipalities and various organisations in the children's sectors.
