The situation analysis of children and women in Belize 2011: An ecologocal review.

Belize is a unique country, full of natural beauty, historical significance, and a vibrant and diverse cultural mix. It occupies an important political and cultural space between Central America and the Caribbean. It is a country with much promise, as well as challenges in reaching that promise. A broad goal of this Situation Analysis (SitAn) is to support the movement towards the achievement of that promise by gathering information and data on factors related to the promotion of well-being, rights and equity for children and women in Belize, with recommendations for policy and programming. The 2010 SitAn was developed through a collaborative process with the Government of Belize and a broad range of national stakeholders to ensure that the situation and views represented are as inclusive as possible. The document takes into account trends across multiple domains, policies, programmes, capacities and underlying structures related to the rights, welfare and equity of girls, boys and women.
