"The whole idea of having a 'how to' guide is spot on, and I'm sure that EveryChild country programmes and partners will use this guide in many ways."—Ruth Steele, EveryChild
"Well structured and clearly written - I particularly like the 'Yes, but...' sections. A useful resource for other child-focused and child rights NGOs."—Joachin Theis, UNICEF
Getting it Right for Children provides practical guidance on exactly how to make children's rights a reality through your work.
Written in accessible language this practitioners guide explores the key stages of the programming cycle from a child right's perspective. It sets out the practical steps you need to take, answers key concerns and gives examples of how this guidance has been put into practice.
This publication also looks beyond the programming cycle to look at the effect adopting a child rights-based approach has on working with partners, advocacy and work in emergency situations.
An essential publication for anyone wanting to put children's rights at the centre of their programmes.
