A child friendly city is the embodiment of the Convention on the Rights of the Child at the local level, which in practice means that children’s rights are reflected in policies, laws, programmes and budgets. In a child friendly city, children are active agents; their voices and opinions are taken into consideration and influence decision making processes.

The concept of Child Friendly City includes communities and other systems of local governance in the light of a range of experiences that have emerged under the CFC Initiative.
