The Ministry of Women and Social Action (MMAS) in partnership with Save the Children in Mozambique has prepared/produced this reference guide for the establishment and management of Child Protection Community Committees, giving special attention to children's participation. This guide will promote the role of community in identifying and finding solution to the problems that vulnerable children face in their communities through community committees. It aims to facilitate all the stakeholders involved in the protection and care to children at the community level. In this context, the MMAS urges all its partners in government and non-governmental sector of the target groups to cooperate in implementing this tool, helping to improve child protection in general and access to basic social services for vulnerable children.
