Child participation in advocacy

Adapted from Save the Children UK’s Advocacy Toolkit, Second Edition January 2007, "Child participation in advocacy" aims at planning an appropriate involvement of children in the advocacy strategy. The document can be used both at the planning stage to consider how children might be involved and for monitoring and evaluation, to assess the level of their involvement. After an overview of the practice standards in child participation, a matrix is proposed to guide the involvement of children at the different stages of the advocacy strategy, going through the phases of planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
