    Our Bottom-Up Approach..

    Ensure that the


    community owns child
    protection projects and
    activities and also
    understand the notion of
    accountability with
    respect to child rights
    and violence and
    injustice against
    children.
    CR – the questions that need
    asking

    • Do partners play an active role in


    supporting children, providing
    services or advocating for
    children’s rights and well-being?

    • How do children relate to referral


    partners?

    • Are they actively involved with


    those organisations themselves?
