Child and youth participation must be developed and strengthened at various levels within the local authority
Since 2012, the city of Wolfsburg has been participating in the ‘Child-Friendly Municipalities’ programme, which supports towns and local authorities in implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The programme is run by the ‘Child-Friendly Municipalities’ association, which is supported by the German Committee for UNICEF and the German Children’s Fund (Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk e.V.). As part of the programme, the City of Wolfsburg drew up, adopted and implemented a comprehensive action plan for the period 2014 to 2018. A second action plan was subsequently adopted, focusing on the consolidation and further development of the measures.
