Description

ARC Linkage Grant Application. The application has received positive assessor comments, and the outcome is pending.

Robust, child-centred evidence is needed to drive targeted policy and prompt action for children in Australia and the Pacific. A unique collaboration between ChildFund, Plan International Australia, Save the Children, UNICEF Australia, SNAICC, and child rights research leaders from 5 universities, this project will generate a toolkit to engage children in generating evidence about child rights issues (e.g. child-centred indicators; child storytelling tools), new data sets, and a sustainable implementation model. Toolkit adoption will drive increased civil society coordination and evidence-based policy and services. Key benefits will accrue to children, children’s services, and child welfare organisations nationally and across the region.
