Child Rights and Governance Capacity Statements for US Donors

Save the Children is uniquely positioned to leverage extensive experience and program capabilities in advancing Child Rights and Governance (CRG) to U.S. Government donors such as USAID and the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL). This Collection serves as a repository that showcases Save the Children’s CRG programs and strengths within U.S. Government funding objectives. 

From supporting girls advocacy groups to engaging with government stakeholders in Nigeria, to improving access to education of children with disabilities in Kosovo, and much, much more, the capacity statements present a range of contexts across the national, regional, and global level where we deliver CRG approaches and key accomplishments in partnership with the communities we serve. Our unique differentiators across U.S. funding priorities include: 

1. Fostering a Strong and Diverse Civil Society: Civic engagement of children and youth including fostering a strong and diverse civil society with robust human rights and monitoring and reporting.
2. Holding Decision-Makers Accountable: Hold decision-makers accountable, especially on public commitments to children and youth.
3. Advocating for Transparency and Accountability in Budgeting: Advocate for transparency and accountability in budgeting.
4. Addressing Underlying Causces of Inequality and Discrimination: Partnerships with youth-led organizations and networks, as well as with socially excluded groups, and work on gender equality, human rights, and social cohesion.
