2023 Global Report on Child Participation in World Vision Decision-Making Processes
This second annual Global Report on Child Participation in World Vision Decision-Making Processes celebrates the different ways girls and boys across the world have been meaningfully involved in the decisions that World Vision makes to improve child well-being around the world. Field Offices have continued to implement stronger and more innovative ways of listening to children, including them in local and national decision-making spaces to ensure that programming and strategy decisions are informed by children’s experiences, priorities, needs, and perspectives.
This report highlights the extraordinary practices of each region and Field Office, celebrating the ways our staff have shared decision-making power with children. World Vision continues to press in our belief that children’s participation is not only a right, but an essential element of our child-focused agenda.

Jeremiah's dream is within grasp through World Vision's youth empowerment project
Jeremiah's childhood was marked by the absence of parental figures. Abandoned by both his father and mother, he found refuge in another family in Morobe. However, formal education only lasted until Grade 3, and he soon found himself navigating the unforgiving streets of Lae, resorting to collecting containers and engaging in petty theft to survive.
Everything changed when the RYRNYSW Project reached Bumbu. Jeremiah saw it as a lifeline, an opportunity to break the cycle of poverty through skills development. Despite initial hesitation from some friends, he actively participated in the project's various modules, discovering a passion for driving. Recognising the importance of work in shaping his future, Jeremiah identified driving as a skill that could open doors for employment.
