Guided by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and an open dialogue with our major partners, Save the Children Norway works in 3 programmatic sectors:
	It is Save the Children Norway's policy to work towards an increase in the number of children, and girls in particular, to have their right to basic education fulfilled, and the organization is committed to contributing to ensure that poor and disadvantaged children also have the opportunity to realize their potential. Save the Children Norway, SCN, will contribute to the promotion of basic education which is inclusive for all children; which is relevant to the child's life situation and future opportunities and challenges; and which is developmental for the child's identity, imagination, aptitude and potential. Save the Children Norway, through its work will promote solidarity, co-operation and dialogue between children and adults on basic education.
	It is Save the Children Norway's policy to monitor, support and influence endeavors to ensure that children's rights are reflected in legislation and made a reality in children's lives. SCN will contribute to the documentation of children's living conditions in light of the CRC. Information and training on children's rights will be directed at children, their parents and all who work with children or in one way or another are responsible for their welfare. This includes the organization's own staff and that of our partners, as well as employees in public administration and the private sector.
	It is Save the Children Norway's policy to co-operate with others in order to reduce the number of children engaged in harmful work, and to promote the rights of working children. Measures to assist the children in most urgent need have high priority. Save the Children Norway will contribute to the improvement of children's working conditions, educational opportunities and other supporting measures for child workers. SCN contributes towards preventing children from being involved in harmful work. SCN will contribute towards the development of information, and engage in advocacy and awarness raising among families, employers, authorities, organizations and others who have an influence on the situation of working children. SCN emphasizes that working children and their families shall be participants in the development of knowledge, information and programmes concerning them. Poverty and social inequality is taken into account in the planning and implementation of activities.
