Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

This approach should take into account the current strategy (2017-2022) and the process currently underway to update the global strategy (for 2022-2027)
• Support the leadership to bring a focus on organizational efficiency and effectiveness within the strategy update (process already underway), to enable us to meet our ambitions to maximise our impact for children and girls and ensure we are agile, legitimate, efficient and effective as an organization and have the resilience to stay the course.
