In conclusion, child rights mainstreaming in new aid modalities entails:

• Understanding lessons learned and best practices from the integration of other cross-cutting issues, namely Gender Equality Mainstreaming.
  


• A comprehensive analysis of the child rights situation in the country, in the sector, in the previous policy or budget.
  


• Special assessments and studies to analyse the situation of marginalised girls and boys.
  


• Adequate levels of donor expertise in child rights to support evidence-based policy dialogue in planning, monitoring and evaluation processes.
  


• Alliances created with and between like-minded donors and champions within government and civil society on child rights.
  


• Information systems which produce reliable and valid data which is sex and age disaggregated as well as adequate capacity to use this data for policy-making and review.
  


• Attention to child rights in capacity building efforts, the development of performance assessment frameworks and the terms of reference for joint monitoring and evaluation processes.
