Mainstreaming Child Rights in the Identification Phase: Key questions
During the Identification Phase, child rights mainstreaming needs to be addressed in the following key assessment processes (key questions are developed during the next slides):
Click on the assessments to identify the key questions.
Ex ante Impact Analysis - Does the proposed policy or programming initiative:
- assess changes in the livelihoods and revenues of poor households?
- assess changes in access to and quality of social services used by children?
- assess changes in the social capital of poor households for child protection?
- identify which child rights are likely to be affected by the policy/programme?
Stakeholder analysis - Does the proposed policy or programming initiative:
- identify children as a specific stakeholder group? If no, why not?
- include data on stakeholders disaggregated by age, gender, socio-economics?
- identify the children likely to be most affected (positively, negatively) by the proposed initiative and describe how their rights will be affected?
- identify the duty bearers directly responsible for implementing this initiative and assess their institutional capacity (commitment, knowledge, resources, authority) to respect, promote, fulfil the rights and well-being of children?
Problem Analysis - Does the proposed policy or programming initiative:
- include consultations with children and their care givers on the development problem?
- identify which children need to be given priority attention as a target group?
- address the immediate, underlying and root causes of any rights violations for these children as a result of the proposed programme?
- articulate what capacity gaps need to be addressed so that duty bearers can meet their obligations to fulfil child rights?
- articulate how children can participate in problem analysis and how the initiative will empower them as right holders?
Lessons learned & linkages - Does the proposed policy or programming initiative:
- build on lessons learned from other, similar initiatives?
- develop linkages with other programs which could mitigate negative effects for children?
Preliminary objectives & strategy analysis - Does the proposed policy or programming initiative:
- articulate expected results or benefits for specific groups of children?
- include strategies to mitigate any possible negative effects for specific groups of children?
- clarify capacity building strategies for primary duty bearers for the promotion of child rights and well-being
