At the Special Session on Children, on 10 May 2002, the General Assembly adopted an ambitious agenda for children for the current decade, entitled A World Fit for Children. The document’s Declaration and Plan of Action call on Member States to complete the unfinished business of the 1990 World Summit for Children, and to address other goals, strategies and actions for children in the context of the Millennium Declaration. The Plan of Action requests UNICEF, as the world’s lead agency for children, to support the implementation of A World Fit for Children and follow- up to the Special Session in all countries. As part of this effort, this document summarises the suggestions of UNICEF for implementing both A World Fit for Children and the Millennium Declaration.
