Youth Centered Programming

A child marriage prevalence rate of 39% has given reason for My Age Zimbabwe Trust to implement the Girls Choose project that is aimed at raising awareness on early and forced marriages as well as creating an enabling environment for the elimination of child and forced marriages in Masvingo Province. Girls Choose targets youth aged between 13 and 24 years. The project empowers girls to influence policy makers and stakeholders in their constituencies to enact and enforce laws against child marriages. Girls Choose is in support of Target 5.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Program to Accelerate Action to end child marriages, an initiative by UNICEF and UNFPA aimed at protecting millions of girls from child marriages. This came about after the realization that there is a plethora of challenges which befall girls once they are exposed to premature marriages. Young girls dropping out of school leads to perpetual poverty, vulnerability to gender based violence, increased maternal mortality rate and heightened HIV infection rates amongst girls.

Child Friendly budgeting key to attainment of children’s rights

Child Friendly Budgeting Initiative (CFBI) is a fairly new concept in Africa in general and Zimbabwe in particular. The Zimbabwe National Council for the Welfare of Children (ZNCWC) adopted the CFBI in 2014 in an effort to ensure that children’s rights are promoted, respected and fulfilled. Since then ZNCWC has partnered with other child rights organizations to train children, policy makers and other CSOs on child friendly budgeting so that they can apply the concept in their programmes and activities. There have been encouraging results from these trainings at all levels starting from the children themselves through the Junior Parliament and Junior Council, child led groups, local council authorities and at national programming. However, child rights advocates still have a lot of work to do to ensure that financial support towards children’s programmes is adequate to address children’s needs.
