Plan International joins the CPP Steering Committee  

Plan logo
In December 2009, Plan International as represented by Plan Canada joined the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), Microsoft, UNICEF, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the International Institute for Child Rights and Development (IICRD) as a member of the CPP Steering Committee.
 
CPP is working with Plan in project pilot locations in both Brazil as the coordinating partner, and in Thailand pilot locations. This strategic partnership forms the foundation for other work that IICRD and the CPP program will undertake with Plan in the future. CPP has begun work on research for Plan's
Because I am a Girl 2010 edition with an advisory group of adolescent girls and boys to develop a survey and conduct focus groups on various aspects of adolescent girls' protection and ICT. For more information on Plan and the work they do, please visit their website.
 
 
The Evolution of the the Triple "A" process 
 
circle of rightsUntil recently, CPP has been utilizing IICRD's Triple "A" process to facilitate the realization of children's lived realities in our pilot sites. In light of the Institute's commitment to ongoing reflection of its core developmental strategies, a decision to allow these strategies to evolve naturally has resulted in the move to a new and exciting model - The Circle of Rights: Reflective Planning for Social Change. It is felt that this process more accurately reflects the goals of the work being undertaken and allows for more reflection on the monitoring and evaluation stages that play such a critical role in the development of strategies across all projects in all the locations where IICRD works.
 
This evolution in IICRD's methodology is an exciting time and the benefits of the new approach are already being felt in numerous locations around the globe. CPP is looking forward to keeping everyone informed about our experiences with the use of the new Circle of Rights methodology in upcoming NetNews issues. Stay tuned!

In early December, CPP staff in collaboration with Plan Brazil, Children gather at the CPP City of Rights standSaferNet and Childhood Brazil facilitated activities at the "City of Rights" event that ran parallel to the 8th National Conference on the Rights of Children and Adolescents in Brasilia.
