Save the Children Strategic Plan 2016-2018 Save the Children Strategic Plan 2016-2018 This is a programme to implement the Save the Children Child Rights   Governance and Child Protection Strategy for the period 2015-2020. De förväntade resultaten inom denna insats bidrar till att uppnå målen i Sveriges resultatstrategi för utvecklingssamarbete med Tanzania 2013-2019. Insatsen är också i linje med Tanzaniska nationella prioriteringar samt Agenda 2030 – de globala målen för hållbar utveckling, som fordrar att utvecklingsaktörer harmoniserar sina ansatser i förhållande till de globala målen. Specifikt mål 5 som handlar om jämlikhet och kvinnors och flickors rättigheter är relevant, och även mål 3, 4 och 6 som berör hälsa, utbildning och sanitet. Agenda 2030 med dess ambition innebär ett unikt tillfälle för utvecklingsaktörer, såsom Rädda Barnen, att med en innovativ tillvägagångssätt maximera genomslag för genomförandet och därigenom även resultaten. 

Relevansen har även en särskild koppling till FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter som både Sverige och Tanzania har ratificerat.

The development intervention’s objectives and intended results are consistent with the Results strategy for Sweden’s international development cooperation in Tanzania 2013 – 2019 objectives. They are also consistent with national Tanzanian priorities and the Agenda 2030 – the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that demand that development actors shape their priorities in line with SDGs goals. The relevance of SC is particularly linked to goal 5 which focuses on achieving gender equality and empowerment of women and girls and goals 3, 4 and 6 which priorities health, education, and water. These goals provide an opportunity for the development actors such as Save the Children to be innovative to maximise delivery of results and impact. 

The relevance is particularly linked to the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) that both Sweden and Tanzania have ratified. The development intervention envisions a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. The mission of the development intervention is to inspire changes in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. The development intervention has identified intentions at Global level that are to be translated at national level. The global intentions 2030 are 1) Survive: No Child dies from preventable causes before their 5th birthday 2) Learn: all Children learn from a quality basic education and 3) Be protected: Violence against Children is no longer tolerated. The intervention intends to reach the most deprived children across the full spectrum and to ensure that policies and national resources established as an outcome of its programming are designed to benefit the most deprived. SC intends to measure its results in terms of the tangible improvements it makes in the lives of the most deprived children.At country level the global intentions by 2030 have been contexualised as follows:1. Survive: the development intervention will focus on high impact interventions in Health and nutrition on newborns, under fives and adolescents with improved quality services at national, district and Community level.2. Learn: The development intervention will target the marginalised including Girls and Children from families who cannot afford basic education. It will seek to profile and understand how to identify Children with disabilities who are largely marginalised with a vision for expanding inclusive education opportunities.3. Be Protected: the development intervention will target all children as there is a recognition that violnece affects all groups of children.Supporting deprived and marginalised children entails making sure that Child rights governance systems and mechanisms are inclusive and that voices of the most deprived children are represented.4. Across all programming: all children wil be targetted with special emphasis on the deprived and marginalised such as Girls who are disadvantaged in a male dominated society.The development intervention intends to lead by example and act as a voice for transparency and acoountability in its Child rights work, especially as a catalyst for engagement and strengthening of civil society to defend Child rights.
