Term of Reference
1. Introduction
China has achieved exceptional economic growth and undergone considerable development during the recent decades. Remarkable improvements for very large groups of the population have been achieved, but this development has come at a cost and large social disparities and environmental degradation are some of the negative effects of the economic growth. In 2006, 130 million people were living under the absolute poverty line and the staggering figure of 600 million people living under 2 dollars per day is an even more serious figure that very clearly reflects the extreme vulnerability of large groups in the Chinese society. One such group is children in need of special protection which includes, migrant children, left-behind children, children without parental care, HIV/Aids related orphans and vulnerable children, children with disabilities, abandoned children as well as rural girls. The proposed project aims to work to specifically protect the rights of children in vulnerable and marginalized situations.
2. Project Objectives
The overall goal of the project is to create an environment where governments, communities and civil society organisations fulfil the rights of children in need of special protection in select provinces, as enshrined in the UNCRC. The project aims to work with all levels of government, with peer NGOs, and with communities and children in targeted areas. This project fulfils the goal of the NGO appropriation by its aim to strengthen the civil society in China by raising awareness on child protection, building capacity of CSOs as well as establishing networks for experience exchanges and develop action plans to promote children’s rights. Civil society will work together with, and assist, the government in establishing new models for protecting children in need. The government has shown great interest in cooperating with CSOs in the work to create an environment in which the rights of children in need of special protection are fulfilled.
The project aims to achieve:
l Improved government understanding of the UNCRC and make recommendations for its implementation in the development strategies;
l Enhanced capacity of civil society organizations, communities and families to promote children’s rights
l Increased access to adequate protection and quality care and services for migrant children, orphans, and children affected by HIV/AIDS in targeted areas.
