Romania's Child Guarantee National Action Plan - An overview

2021 was a turning point in the fight against child poverty, with the launch of two landmark initiatives, the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child and the European Child Guarantee.

As EU Member States submit their Child Guarantee National Action Plans, Eurochild will share highlights from each plan that members, children's rights advocates and influencers can use in their own work to ensure children's rights remain high on the political agendas across Europe.

The Romanian government submitted Romania's Child Guarantee National Action Plan (NAP) on 31 October 2023. 

The Romanian Child Guarantee National Action Plan focuses on:

  • Social services: Address day centres, residential centres, counselling centres and rehabilitation centres; Curve the severe shortage of staff, especially in rural areas and increase specialised staff
  • Health and nutrition: School Programme for the provision of fruits and vegetables, dairy and bakery products; pilot programme providing hot meals in communitiesto reduce early school leaving; regular preventive examination once a year; community health nurse in every rural community lacking healthcare services

Eurochild and its members will continue to call on Member States to release their plans and to work on ensuring the Child Guarantee National Action Plans helps end child poverty.
