The implementation, management and operation of the Child Guarantee Action Plan requires a governance model that includes cooperation and coordination between its four levels:

Level I – Political Coordination – ensured by the Government member responsible for the solidarity and social security area.

Level II – Strategic and Technical Coordination – ensured by the National Coordinator and the respective team, assisted by the Technical Monitoring Committee (CTA – Comissão Técnica de Acompanhamento), composed of representatives from the government areas responsible for the actions’ implementation within the respective intervention areas;

Level III – Operationalisation – carried out by the bodies responsible for the measure’s implementation within the Child Guarantee Local Centres (NLGPI – Núcleos Locais da Garantia para a Infância), created within the scope of the Social Action Local Councils (CLAS – Conselhos Locais de Ação Social), as representative structures to implement the Council Recommendation at the local level;

Level IV – Advisory – composed of the Intersectoral Advisory Board (CCI – Conselho Consultivo Intersectorial), a body that issues opinions and recommendations and is aimed to ensure the mobilisation, participation and contribution of organisations representing civil society, as well as children, young people and families.
