Formulation

• Child Rights Programming Handbook - Save the Children
  • This handbook aims to provide an introduction to Child Rights Programming - Save the Children's approach to the use of human rights principles and standards in its work with children, their families, carers and communities.
• Concerted development of social cohesion indicators
  • This guide brings our concept of social cohesion to life, and provides us with something which is very visual: social cohesion indicators. Based on the definition given in the Council of Europe's Strategy for Social Cohesion that “social cohesion is the capacity of a society to ensure the welfare of all its members, minimising disparities”, the guide applies the core values of our Organisation to make a reality of social cohesion: namely access to rights for all, respect for dignity of others, the right for all individuals to have the opportunity for personal development, and participation in the democratic process.
• Developing indicators for the protection, respect and promotion of the rights of the child in the European Union
  • The indicators presented in this report provide an initial toolkit to evaluate the impact of already adopted EU law and policy on children’s status and experience across various fields. They highlight the limitations of and gaps in current provisions and data, providing a springboard for future legal, policy and research development. The indicators cover several areas of substantive law and policy, and complement and build on other efforts to develop child indicators and monitoring processes at EU level.
• Good Governance and Budget Tracking – from a Child Rights Perspective
  • In Ethiopia, Child rights have a strong legal status. But in spite of this the children have poor access to both education and health, and the regional differences are huge. One of the main reasons for this is that the budget process itself is not children-oriented.
    
    In an attempt to describe the situation for children in Ethiopia, Save the Children Sweden have been conducting a pioneering report about good governance and budget tracking from a child rights perspective. The report tries to analyse the discrimination of children in today’s society by examining how money is allocated for children’s education and health in the federal and regional budgets. The results are very clear both when it comes to education and health: the access is low and the quality is poor.
• Menu of outcome indicators - Save the Children UK
  • A guidance note for developing monitoring and evaluation indicators for Child Protection, Education, Health & HIV, and Hunger Reduction projects and programmes. This guide should be useful for developing indicators and M&E; plans for thematic programme plans (TPPs) and also for donor funding proposals.
    
    The guide should complement local context and expertise. It provides good example indicators rather than a prescriptive list and does not cover indicators for every situation. The guide should be read alongside other SCUK key programme guidance documents.
• Report on indicators for promoting and monitoring the implementation of human rights
  • This report was prepared to undertake validation of the approach on the use of statistical information in States parties’ reports, develop further list of indicators and submit a report on this work. This report outlines the adopted conceptual and methodological framework for identifying the relevant quantitative indicators.
