  1. A proposal for a construction of a Child Indicator System to certify Bolivian Municipalities as “Child Friendly” ISCI 2009 UWS, Australia

  2. Bolivia in numbers

  3. New Development Paradigm in Bolivia • Particular new Political conditions: • New indigenous government • New political constitution • Bolivia as a communitarianplurinational, intercultural, descentralized, and withautonomies, State. • Humans Rights-Based approach • Child rights • New Social Contract

  4. National Development Plan • “Vivir Bien” (‘Living Good’) concept and policy • Local & Community Development Plan • Decentralized Public Administration (management) • Municipality as basic axis of public management (15 years of experience)

  5. A development model from the municipal level • Municipalities have today more powers and duties (legislative, budgetary, political competences) • They can be part of national policies in a voluntary capacity • Municipal institutional development plan: • Local economic development • Social policies with an integral approach • New development paradigm and new axis around municipalities give basis for MAN policy

  6. Child Friendly Municipality (MAN) • A public policy with meaning for municipalities: • Orders public supply • Centered in Human Capital • Political recognition to local authorities • Fiscal recognition • COMMUNITARIAN LOGIC • Participation • Prestige • Lines up with prevailing development approach

  7. Municipal Infant, Child and Adolescent Rights Development Index – IDINA – GOB/UNICEF The IDINA is a composite index which documents progress at the municipal level, based on mortality, health, education and protection indicators. Values are established ranging from 0 to 1. The closer the result is to the value of 1, the greater the degree of child rights promotion and protection in a given municipality. Highest 0.804 La Paz (La Paz) 0.622 National Average Lowest 0.251 Alalay (Cochabamba) Of 319 municipalities surveyed, close to 60% have a child rights compliance index of low to medium-low Source: UDAPE-UNICEF, Índice de Desarrollo Municipal de la Infancia, Niñez y Adolescencia, 2008

  8. VulnerabilityAssessmentMonitoring (WFP) 79% of Bolivia’s municipalities have medium to very high vulnerability to food and nutrition insecurity. Children and pregnant women most vulnerable. Source: UDAPE-PMA, Diagnóstico modelo y atlas de seguridad alimentaria en Bolivia, 2008

  15. Child Friendly Municipality Index (CFMI) for Bolivia • Previous: • Define administrative unit: municipality • Select which municipalities will compete: voluntary selection • Incorporating HHRR-based approach in goals: • Multidimensional (MDGs-like) goals • CRC orientation • Identifying Dimensions for social promotion • Participative goals • SMART indicators • Participative deliberation method • Selecting social gaps with local meaning • Clustering in ‘alike’ municipalities • Selecting Indicators • Certifying as Child Friendly

  16. Certification to improve living standards for children

  17. Certification to improve living standards for children Vertical Competition: internal to the municipality; to improve positive indicators, management and participation Horizontal Competition: Fair competition with similar municipalities (CLUSTERING)

  18. “Why to cluster”

  19. Clusters of municipalities

  20. “How to cluster”

  21. The process of certification • Criteria for clustering is not the CFMIndex • Establish a simple ‘easy to understand’ methodology • Defining goals: geared towards improving lives of children & adolescents: based in a children rights-based approach • Defining activities to reach goals • Selection of indicators: life cycle approach from pregnancy to adolescence • Building capacity: beginning with a few number of goals and activities

  22. Constructing the index (selecting dimensions and grouping indicators)

  23. Evaluation for the Certification

  24. Goals, indicators, dimensions and rights

  25. Goals, indicators, dimensions and rights

  26. Goals, indicators, dimensions and rights

  27. Goals, indicators, dimensions and rights

  28. Child Friendly Municipality Index

  29. Final questions • Simplicity versus gathering relevant information (social impact) • Clustering methods: mobile or fixed groups of municipalities through the process? • Different requirements/benchmarks for different clusters according to level of development? • How to weight of indicators and promotion areas into a composite index?
