In the spirit of International Children’s Rights Day celebrations, we are proud to unveil the IBCR’s new 2025-2028 Strategic Plan !
Our new strategic ambition, Making Children’s Rights a Reality – 2028 Horizon, reaffirms our commitment to realising children’s rights, particularly for girls and boys who face the greatest barriers to the fulfilment of their rights.
Despite an international context marked by growing challenges to human rights and international solidarity, this new strategic plan calls on us to redouble our efforts to place children’s experiences at the heart of the realisation of their rights, by mobilising new actors around this vision.
A true compass for the years ahead, it enables us to anchor ourselves in current realities, focus our efforts on the results that define us, and respond to the expectations and evolving needs of our organisation.
Making children’s rights a reality: a bold ambition
The Strategic Plan guides the IBCR’s actions for the years 2025 to 2028 around three major objectives:
- Transform the role of children in their interactions with justice and protection systems, so that they are recognised as actors in their rights and their environments.
- Reinforce the role of children within protection and justice systems while enhancing the coordination and integration of the various actors operating within these systems.
- Reinforce the role and rights of children in conflict with the law within justice systems.
To achieve these objectives, the IBCR will rely on an approach based on six key actions:
- Strengthening the skills (knowledge, know-how, interpersonal skills) of actors in the justice and child protection systems.
- Facilitating coordination among these actors by creating spaces and processes.
- Strengthening the participation of children key players in their own lives and environments.
- Facilitating experimentation processes among actors in order to test, analyse and deconstruct our practices and paradigms.
- Mobilizing the public and decision-makers to create more favourable environments for children.
- Generating knowledge on children’s rights, contributing to the development of shared expertise.
Looking ahead to 2028, the IBCR has ambitious and clear-sighted plans: informed by local realities, committed to the children most affected, and determined to strengthen the systems that must guarantee their rights.
Discover now how the IBCR is committed to transforming the place of children in our societies in a sustainable way, and to contributing to the realisation of their rights — so that they finally become a reality for every child, everywhere.
