A Guideline for Integrating Child Rights Governance, Advocacy, and Campaign in Save the Children’s Thematic Sectors

Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. In Ethiopia and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children’s unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

As part of its commitment to improve the lives of children, Save the Children in Ethiopia is working towards an integrated programming approach among the various thematic sectors. Integrating Child Rights Advocacy (CRG), Advocacy and Campaigns in other thematic sectors and projects would, thus, contributes to quality program delivery and synergy for increased impacts for children and communities we work with and for. This guideline is developed to facilitate the integration of CRG, advocacy, and campaigns in other thematic sectors and projects. It is expected to provide a general direction as to how this can be achieved and enable the staff working in different thematic sectors to integrate CRG, advocacy and campaigns across all project cycle [planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and reporting].
