About Joining Forces Kenya
In 2017, six child-focused agencies: ChildFund Alliance, Plan International, Save the Children International, SOS Children’s Villages International, Terre des Hommes International Federation, and World Vision International joined forces. We aim to use our collective power to accelerate change to secure children their rights and end violence against them. We will pilot and scale innovative and effective approaches worldwide and be driven by the voices and needs of children.
In Kenya, the six agencies have been working together, as an alliance, since 2018, in the best interest of the child. We are strengthening collaboration with Government of Kenya Ministries, Departments and Agencies and other partners in ensuring that children rights are secured and that the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child are upheld.
We have been utilizing our combined expertise and experience in contributing to realisation of children’s rights, through implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. We have been building on Child protection and Participation approaches that have worked before; in addition to nurturing innovative strategies towards ensuring that all children fully enjoy all their rights.
