Summary: Designed for community leaders, local
children’s rights advocates and those working
with young people, this toolkit aims to help
mobilise and coordinate resources in
communities to develop effective monitoring
practices for the UN Convention on the Rights
of the Child.
This toolkit is the result of a drive by the Canadian Coalition for the Rights
of Children’s to build children’s rights monitoring capacity in the country.
Designed for community leaders, local children’s rights advocates and
those working with young people, it aims to help mobilise and coordinate
resources in communities to develop effective monitoring practices for the
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It may also be useful for
advocates working regionally, nationally and internationally.
The five-part workshop starts from scratch with an introduction to
children’s rights and an overview of the Convention. Section two covers
monitoring, including the CRC monitoring and the reporting process. The
third part deals with a community approach to monitoring, plus a
framework for organising a community project.
Section four contains step-by-step instructions on how to run a monitoring
initiative, using existing strengths and assets in the community and
drawing on the background information and learning exercises provided in
the previous workshop sections. The fifth part provides a community
monitoring report template groups can use to document and share their
findings.
