The NGO Coalition on Child Rights, (NGO CCR) is a national coalition of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), sectoral networks and individuals whose broad goal is to entrench child rights programming and governance in Malawi anchored under the four fundamental principles of the rights of the Child: Non-Discrimination; The best interest of the child; Right to life, survival and development or First Call of the Child; and Child Participation within the evolving capacities of the Child.
NGO CCR enhances CSO coordination for child rights protection in Malawi, and harmonizes CSO reporting on treaties like UNCRC, UNCRPD, and ACRWC.
NGO CCR advocates for policy reforms, raises awareness, and mobilizes resources to ensure the Malawian government fulfills its child rights obligations under national laws and international conventions.
NGO CCR boosts the capacity of CSOs in Malawi on child rights governance, advocacy, monitoring, impact reporting, budgeting, disability inclusion, and implementing treaties like UNCRC, UNCRPD, and ACRWC.
NGO CCR believes children are experts of their own lives and should have the opportunity to participate meaningfully in their country's development.
A society in which the non-state actors are vibrant and united for the promotion and protection of child rights.
