The Role of Civil Society Organizations Related to Child Rights in the Municipalities of Central America

In June 2017, the Central American Learning Circle on Children’s Rights and Local Development convened a seminar in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, about “The role of civil society organizations in the municipalities of Central America.”

Representatives from organizations and different municipalities from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica shared experiences and reflected on the challenges and good practices related to the current role of civil society organizations (CSOs) working within the complex conditions of Central America’s municipalities.

This document is the product of both debate and consensus, and contains key elements emerging from the experiences of actors who are working to generate conditions that favor the exercise of child and adolescent rights.
