This guide provides support for the application of the principle of non-discrimination at every stage of planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating interventions on child rights programming to ensure that all children from every kind of background are included in this work.

Each chapter provides the key steps in the Child Rights Programming process, with case studies of successful practices from a range of countries and with contexts, key websites and publications for further information and compilation of materials.

The guide is intended for Save the Children’s field staff, for our partners and for other development organizations, which want to ensure that children from all backgrounds are included in their programmes. It can also be used as background information by donors and governments to ensure that the rights and needs of all children have been considered in government policies, plans of action, strategies and programmes.
