As part of its MENA Child-friendly Cities project financed by the AGFUND, the CPI organized a consultative workshop entitled “Child-friendly Cities in the MENA Region”. It was organized in partnership with Greater Amman Municipality and was held during 9 -10th December 2007 in Amman. The main objective of the workshop was to discuss the principles of Child-friendly Cities and to review good practices and innovative experiences.
The workshop was inaugurated by H.E. the Mayor of Amman, and included 14 presentations which highlighted CFC principles and strategies, international best practices and regional experiences. Three break-out groups discussed the relevance of CFC to the MENA region and the prerequisites for its implementation.
The workshop recommendations will inform the on-going process of preparing a regional CFC resource guide and training manuals, as well as in implementation of pilot programs in pilot MENA cities.
