| الوصف: | Objective. This paper aims to characterize the public policies in force concerning children and adolescents in Costa Rica between 2009 and 2023. The purpose is to provide analytical tools for understanding how the country has configured its agenda of commitments and actions in this field, as well as identifying gaps, challenges, and opportunities in public policy. Method. The study is grounded in the analysis of public policies proposed by the approach of analyticism and its rational approach to the cycle of publicpolicies. A document review was conducted to identify public policies and characterize their stages concerning children and adolescents in Costa Rica. Results. Public policies for children and adolescents in Costa Rica lack management and evaluation models that allow for their follow-up, monitoring, and continuous improvement. These policies do not have a robust interinstitutional ecosystem that facilitates their implementation, and they are developed from an adult-centric approach where thetarget population participates only as a passive recipient and at a consultative level. Conclusion. Although public policies are a necessary and key instrument for advancing human rights, and the thematic agenda covered by them in Costa Rica is broad, the weaknesses identified here suggest that their capacity to achieve this remains significantly limited. |
