Child-Friendly Accountability (CFA) is grounded on the belief that it is possible to reduce violence against children, in part by holding leaders accountable for their obligations to protect children.
To support children’s meaningful participation in the effort to hold duty bearers to account and improve local and national child protection systems, CFA empowers children, enables children’s meaningful participation, helps children build knowledge, supports children in challenging negative social norms, enables children to engage with duty bearers, empowers children to take direct action to address protection gaps, and promotes joint action and scale-up of community-based action.
