Corporate social responsibility and children’s rights in South Asia

In this publication, you will find examples of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives within the context of children’s issues in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. The mapping highlights that children’s issues often do not get sufficient consideration in the corporate agenda. Most CSR initiatives that do target children often follow the welfare approach. The programmes seldom involve children as social actors and partners in their own development. The mapping helps explore how to engage with the corporate sector to strengthen Child Rights Programming approach in the CSR work targeting children in South Asia.
