Introduction
This module provides practical information, guidelines, inspiring case studies and participatory tools to support organisations and key adult actors to engage with children as rights holders and social actors, supporting their participation in decision making processes, which affect them and their communities. Guidance is provided to support the development of meaningful, ethical, sustainable, and inclusive participation of children (of different ages and backgrounds) in project, programme and policy responses and service delivery during different phases of an emergency, from preparedness, early, intermediate, and post emergency responses to longerterm development.
Building genuine partnerships between adults and children (and among children themselves) is a particular focus of this module as a means of transforming power relationships and creating the space for all children to interact and intervene in different levels of decisionmaking structures, systems and processes that are accessible and responsive to them.
