The overall goal of Country Programme 2012-2016 is to aid efforts by Montenegro to increase equity and ensure the inclusion of children and women who are in need of special protection, live in poverty or are socially marginalized.

The country programme comprises two mutually reinforcing components: child protection and social inclusion; and child rights, policies and planning. These reflect the need for continuity in supporting the Government and institutions to complete the child care system reform agenda and implement policies and strategies for children at central and local levels; securing investment in equitable inclusion and protection of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups; strengthening capacities in planning, child rights monitoring and budgeting; and implementing the framework for a sustainable legacy of child rights.
