In this section, we will look at the following elements of a child rights based approach (CRBA) which support the mainstreaming of child rights in EC policies and programmes:

• CRC and its four guiding principles
  


• Focusing on the most marginalised girls and boys
  


• Building the capacity of rights holders and duty bearers
  


• Promoting a multidimensional and multi-level approach
  


• Supporting child participation

On the next slide, we will start by looking at the CRC and its four general principles as a guiding framework and foundation for child rights mainstreaming.
