Child Rights Governance & Child Protection

Child rights cannot be fully realised without effective, transparent and accountable governance — so we work with duty-bearers, families and children to make rights real on the ground.

Programme description

Child rights cannot be fully realised without effective, transparent and accountable governance mechanisms. To improve the rights of children — particularly girls and other vulnerable children — Trinity Project's interventions are guided by the policy and legislative frameworks on child rights and protection at global, continental, regional and national levels.

These frameworks help ensure that duty-bearers are held accountable to provide an environment where children and young people can access social services — birth registration, education and sexual and reproductive health — with minimum hindrance.

Trinity Project empowers communities to demand access to these services, while monitoring state actors to encourage and ensure quality delivery. Following Covid-19, many children and young girls were exposed to various forms of sexual exploitation, leading to an increase in teenage pregnancies and child marriages — we actively engage in the fight against these at community level.

The organisation also advocates for inclusive budgetary processes at both national and local-government levels, and conducts public resource tracking to ensure that resources reach children and youth.
