Overview:
Background
The Somali Child Rights
Coalition is a network of national non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in
Somalia that focuses on advocating for and protecting the rights of children.
The coalition is comprised of various organizations working in the field of
child rights and child protection. The primary objective of the Somali Child
Rights Coalition is to amplify the voices of children and promote their rights
through collective action and advocacy. By uniting NGOs and civil society
organizations (CSOs) working in the child rights sector, the coalition aims to
strengthen their impact, increase coordination, and enhance collaboration in
addressing the challenges faced by children in Somalia.
The Somali Child Rights
Coalition (SCRC) represents a collaborative effort among multiple child-focused
organizations in Somalia, all committed to advancing the rights and well-being
of children across the nation. Through unified advocacy and coordinated action,
SCRC aims to create a roadmap for supporting and investing in localization and
advocacy efforts. By harnessing the collective expertise and resources of its
member organizations, SCRC endeavours to drive positive change and create a
more inclusive and protective environment for children throughout the country.
The SCRC plays a vital
role in strengthening the capacity of local partners, facilitating
coordination, promoting leadership, increasing funding access, and driving
policy advocacy. This multi-sectoral coalition of civil society organizations
(CSOs) is dedicated to protecting and advancing children’s rights across
Somalia, with broad membership from both local and national organizations. The
SCRC focuses on raising awareness, influencing policy, and strengthening child
protection mechanisms, aiming to keep children’s welfare at the forefront of
the Somali government’s agenda and aligned with international child rights
treaties. As an independent coalition, the SCRC serves as a united voice for
Somali children, advocating for systemic change and policy development at
national, regional, and international levels.
Strengthening the
organizational capacities and coordination of local actors is essential for
fostering local resilience and ensuring that humanitarian interventions are
both sustainable and accountable to affected populations. Local actors are
uniquely positioned to understand the needs of their communities, allowing them
to tailor interventions that are most relevant and appropriate. Long standing
relationships with communities, rapport with target populations resulting from
an extensive period of service, and unique contextual understanding are key
reasons why local actors are well placed to design and deliver interventions.
Empowering local and national NGOs to participate in decision-making processes
can lead to increased ownership, resulting in more timely, effective, and
responsive outcomes for the most deprived and vulnerable children, as well as
their communities, while promoting the fulfillment of children's rights.
The assignment will
target five civil society organizations with support from save the children
through Som-Localization practices phase II for institutional assessment and
the development of comprehensive capacity strengthening plans to support their
effectiveness and long-term sustainability.
