The initiative works by bringing together local stakeholders and UNICEF to create safe, inclusive and child-responsive cities and communities.  \nThe importance of cities and communities in policymaking that directly affects children has increased over the past two decades as the world has become an urban planet. Although national governments remain the primary duty bearers for realizing child rights under international law, recent years have witnessed a growing trend among mayors and local governments to support and speak up in favour of the most vulnerable groups living in their municipalities, including children and young people.  \nThe CFCI has been instrumental in encouraging local governments and other stakeholders to pay greater attention to meeting the rights and needs of their youngest citizens, and ensuring the latter’s participation in local decision making. The initiative operates in more than 3,000 cities and communities around the world and continues to expand every year. This growing interest has increased the demand for enhanced global direction and technical guidance from UNICEF.  \nWith more than 20 years of experience with the CFCI in different regional and country contexts, UNICEF has consolidated many good practices that inform this Handbook, together with a set of common challenges and lessons learned. These lessons have highlighted a pressing need to enhance the CFCI through better monitoring and evaluation of each of its cities and communities; through demonstrating the results that the CFCI brings to the lives of  \nchildren; through improved data and evidenc","cbCaieddN0uKudI0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieddN0uKudI0","pdf",5292843,66,"English","# Preface\n## Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI)\n## Abbreviations, acronyms and glossary\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI)?\",\"answer\":\"The CFCI, launched in 1996, brings together local stakeholders and UNICEF to create safe, inclusive and child-responsive cities and communities.
