Vision:
The vision of UCRNN is “A society where all children’s rights are realised”

Mission:
“UCRNN exists to undertake collective action for promotion and protection of children’s rights in Uganda”

Principles and core values
Child participation | Non-discrimination | Transparency | Accountability | Fairness

On 20th November 2009, Uganda will join the rest of the world to mark 20 years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and 10 years of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. As a signatory to the two child rights instruments, Uganda is obliged to respect, fulfill and promote children’s rights to survival, development, protection and participation.

Through its engagement at both national and local levels, Uganda Child Rights NGO Network has noted that significant progress has been made to realize children’ rights to protection, development and survival. Policy reforms targeting children have been adopted in various sectors. However, there are still gaps in regard to enforcement of the formulated policies for children. Part of the problem is the fact that many policies are made with complete disregard to children’s views.

Aware that the strength of UCRNN lies in the membership, thematic groups have proved to be an invaluable forum for collective advocacy for children. The thematic groups provide a platform for members to engage in policy advocacy at all levels. For the period July 2007-July 2008, the network’s advocacy agenda will focus on six thematic areas:

• Children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS
• Children with Disabilities
• Children affected by armed conflict
• Education and Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE)
• Child trafficking
• Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE)
