NGOs have an important role to play in contributing to encouraging governments to give priority to the rights of the child and to fulfilling their commitments.

This guide is meant to be a practical tool for helping NGOs forming and sustaining child rights Coalitions. It contains ideas on how to promote Coalition building, methods of child rights advocacy and examples of how NGOs could use the monitoring mechanisms, particularly the reporting process to the Committee on the Rights of the Child.

The NGO Group for the Convention on the Rights of the Child (NGO Group for the CRC) is a network of international NGOs committed to supporting the sustainment and active work of children’s rights Coalitions in the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
