Although the establishment of the above group is one of the major steps in ensuring and strengthening the protection of children rights, it has exceptionally an advisory function; therefore, with a view to approximating the services to beneficiaries, child assistance groups are instrumental at the level of neighbourhoods for the assurance of complex assistance to children.
