Country Profile of Morocco - International Bureau of Children's Rights

The Child Rights Governance Programme in Save
the Children Sweden’s Regional Office for the Middle
East and North Africa implemented the activities
of the Manara Network: A Civil Society for Child’s
Rights in the Middle East and North Africa Region.
Work on Child Rights Governance aims to build societies
that fulfil children rights by establishing and strengthening
the infrastructure necessary for states to effectively
implement the United Nations Convention on the Rights
of the Child and other child rights obligations. It seeks to
support a vibrant civil society pushing children up the political
agenda and holding states to account for what they
have or haven’t done to realise children’s rights. It is an effective
strategy for impacting at scale the lives of millions
of children, resulting in structural and lasting change.
Our long-term vision is that far more children have their
rights fulfilled because:
• All states meet their obligations to monitor and implement
children’s rights
• A strong civil society, including children, holds states
and the international community to account for children’s
rights
To advance this vision the Child Rights Governance
Programme will have significantly contributed to two key
objectives:
• Strengthened State institutions and mechanisms for
the implementation and monitoring of children’s rights,
• Increased awareness and capacity among civil society
and children to promote children’s rights and hold duty
bearers to account
