A '''powiat''' (pronounced ''povyat'') is a second-level unit of the administrative division and local government in Poland, roughly equivalent to counties, districts or prefectures (NUTS-3) in other countries.
The powiat is a part of a larger entity called voivodship (''województwo'') and usually consists of several communes called ''gmina''.
The legislative and controlling powers within the powiat are vested in a ''powiat council'' (''rada powiatu'') or ''City Council'' (''rada miasta''), while the local representative of the executive power is vested in the office of a starost, in municipal powiats called the mayor (''burmistrz'') or president.

The process of reforms ceased with the threepartitions of Poland between Russia, Prussia, and Austria in 1772, 1793 and 1795 which ultimately dissolved the country.

The Committee welcomes the State party's establishment in 2000 of the Office of the Ombudsman for Children responsible for monitoring children's rights throughout Poland, and the role of the Supreme Chamber of Control in assessing and evaluating the Government's policy with regard to children's rights and the implementation of the Convention.
The Committee welcomes the additional statistical data contained in the written replies to the list of issues (CRC/C/Q/POL/2) and the information that a programme called E-Poland will be initiated in order to improve the exchange of data between ministries and facilitate their comparison and analysis.
While noting the increased efforts of the State party to cooperate in regional programmes to prevent trafficking and repatriate victims, the Committee is nevertheless concerned that Poland continues to be a country of origin, destination and transit for children trafficked for sexual exploitation.
