Our collective futures: Indigenous peoples partnering for lands and waters
The project aims to strengthen the climate resilience of Indigenous peoples in the Indo-Pacific through Indigenous-led climate action. Peer-to-peer learning between First Nations in Canada and abroad seeks to contribute to enhanced capacity to implement climate solutions for Indigenous peoples, in particular women and youth.

Save the Children, CSO strategy 2025-2029
Insatsens mål Programmets övergripande mål och syfte är att säkerställa att barns rättigheter realiseras och respekteras. Problemformuleringen utgår från hur barns rättigheter utsätts för överlappande och ökande utmaningar kopplat till klimatförändringar, konflikter och kvinnors och flickors inskränkta rättigheter. Över en miljard barn världen över saknar tillgång till grundläggande rättigheter såsom utbildning, hälsa och mat. Förändringsteorin utgår ifrån att ett starkt civilsamhälle är en av de mest avgörande aktörerna för att utkräva att barns rättigheter uppfylls, att stater hålls ansvariga och att barn och deras samhällen stärks. Det övergripande målets har formulerats på engelska och återges därför ordagrant nedan: Civil society actors, including children, claim civic space and have the capacity to hold duty-bearers accountable for the equitable fulfilment of childrens rights Den nedbrutna förändringsteorin är att om civilsamhällesaktörer har finansiering, samarbeten, evidensbaserade metoder och nödvändig kapacitet; får de bättre möjlighet övervaka efterlevnaden och påverka politik för barns rättigheter; och då nås programmålet. Målet ska nås genom två underliggande resultat/metoder, även de återgivna på engelska: 1. Monitor and Report: Civil society actors, including children, have increased capacity and opportunities to monitor, report and follow-up on duty-bearers commitments to child rights. Under det här resultatområdet ingår till exempel bevakning och rapportering till processer som barnkonventionen, Universal Periodic Review, Voluntary National Reviews och liknande regionala processer. Lokala forskningsinitiativ ingår också under detta område. Varje land kommer identifiera sina egna strategier och resultat utifrån sin specifika kontext men några exempel är redan identifierade inom programmet. - Uppföljningen av policyer, lagar och budgetering för barn och deras rättigheter i en konfliktkontext kommer följas upp på nationell och regional nivå i Ukraina. - I Tanzania planeras upprättandet av en Barnrättsakademi där utbildning och resurser ska finnas tillgängliga för barn och partnerorganisationer med syftet att ge de metoder och ett samlat förhållningsätt för att följa upp Tanzanias barnrättsåtaganden. - Informella barnrättsaktörer och grupper ska få stöd att samla in evidens och rapportera prioriterade områden och hålla beslutsfattare ansvariga i Kambodja. - I Kosovo kommer marginaliserade barn få stöd att utkräva ansvar vad gäller utbildning, klimatfrågor och jämställdhet med hjälp av digitala plattformar, samhällsrevisioner och lokala scorecards. 2. Influence: Civil society actors, including children, have strengthened capacity and opportunities to influence policies, laws, budgets and services to advance the rights of girls and boys in all their diversities. Under det här målområdet kommer kapacitetsstärkande åtgärder för partnerorganisationer och barn genomföras, med syftet att stärka dem att säkra nationell till lokal styrning som säkrar barns tillgång till rättigheter, skydd och samhällstjänster. Varje land kommer identifiera sina egna strategier och resultat utifrån sin specifika kontext men några exempel är redan planerade. - I Etiopien kommer partnerorganisationer stöttas att utkräva inkluderande utbildning, förskoleutbildning, och skyddsnät för barn i utsatta situationer såsom konflikt, genusbaserat våld eller internflyktingar. - Programmet i Nepal kommer fortsätta verka genom det av partner nyetablerade parlamentariska forumet för barnrättsfrågor. I forumet kommer flickor, barn från marginaliserade grupper (Daliter, LGBTIQ, barn med funktionsnedsättningar) ges utrymme att utkräva deras rättigheter i policyer och offentliga budgetar. - I Elfenbenskusten kommer stöd gå till civilsamhällets deltagande i reformkommittéer med syfte att skapa harmoniserade lagar kring barnaga, genusbaserat våld och integrering av miljö- och klimatfrågor i barnrättslagar. - Att barn och barnrätt prioriteras i den nationella utvecklingsagendan, vad gäller övergrepp mot barn, jämställdhet och barns ökade resiliens i klimatkatastrofer kommer bli centralt i programmet i Zambia.

MyRight CSO strategi 2025-2028
Programmets övergripande syfte är att: partnerorganisationer är en aktiv del av civilsamhället, arbetar effektivt för att hålla ansvarsbärare och utvecklingsaktörer ansvariga för förverkligandet av mänskliga rättigheter för människor med funktionsnedsättning i enlighet med Konventionen om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning (KRPF) och Globala målen (framförallt mål 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 och 16) Programmet kommer bidra till det syftet genom tre resultat: 1. Stärkande av individers egenmakt: PO:er har förbättrad kapacitet och verktyg att stärka personer med funktionsnedsättning i att hantera utmaningar, öka sitt självbestämmande och göra sina röster hörda, samt att öka medvetenheten hos deras familjer och i det lokala samhället om rättigheterna för PwD. 2. Stärkande av organisatorisk kapacitet: PO:er har förbättrat sina organisatoriska strukturer, ledningssystem, miljöengagemang, kompetens och resursmobilisering för att bli mer finansiellt självständiga, demokratiska, transparenta, ansvariga, genus- och miljömedvetna, effektiva och relevanta. 3. Stärkande av påverkansarbete och policydialog: PO:er har utvecklat och använt sina påverkans- och nätverksförmågor vilket möjliggör att de kan utkräva ansvar från beslutsfattare för deras åtaganden kring rättigheterna för PwD.
