"We the children of Zimbabwe write this Charter to express our aspirations and expectations to the duty bearers, particularly the Government of Zimbabwe." The purpose of this Charter is to assist in coordinating, lobbying and advocacy efforts of the sector. As a wholesale document with the key elements which the children want addressed, the Charter becomes a rallying point in identifying the concerns of children. From it, a joint action plan will be drawn with government ministries and civil society organizations. The Children’s Charter will essentially define issues for follow up interaction between the government, local authorities and civil society. The Charter will also play a key role in the evaluation of the child rights sector at the macro level in future.
