The document's Declaration and Plan of Action call on Member States to complete the unfinished business of the 1990 World Summit for Children, and to address other goals, strategies and actions for children in the context of the Millennium Declaration. The Plan of Action requests UNICEF, as the world's lead agency for children, to support the implementation of "A World Fit for Children" and follow-up to the Special Session in all countries. As part of this effort, this document summarises the suggestions of UNICEF for implementing both "A World Fit for Children" and the Millennium Declaration.

Separate guides exist to facilitate this process for children, as well as governments and civil society organisations, and the guides are available in English, French and Spanish. The guides are the result of consultations with children during the lead up to the UN Special Session on Children.

The issue was also discussed at a well-attended side event at the Special Session on Children itself.
