A Tool Kit on Child Rights Programming

Abstract

The tool kit applies the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) to the practice of programme or project planning in order to strengthen the child rights profile of all Save the Children Denmark supported programmes and projects. The tool kit is a supplement to the CRP handbook produced by Save the Children Alliance, which describes CRP in detail. The tool kit has only a short introduction to CRP and it is therefore recommended to study the Save the Children Alliance handbook before applying the tools in this tool kit. Save the Children Denmark partners in Uganda and Bangladesh tested a draft version of the tool kit. The test and the follow-up workshop produced much valuable input to its final design. The real test will, however, be in the years to come when all Save the Children Denmark offices and partners are applying the present version.
