Children's Advisory Groups - A Global Learning Brief by World Vision International

For the past 10 years, World Vision has steadily increased and institutionalised the practice of children’s meaningful participation in our own organisation’s decision-making processes, at both local and national levels. This process – called our Operational Requirements for Child Participation in World Vision Decision-making – gives children from around the world unique opportunities to voice their perspectives about World Vision’s strategic priorities, as well as programming and budgeting decisions that directly impact children in their communities. 

Throughout this process, a handful of offices have organically started to set up Children’s Advisory Groups as a formal mechanism to engage boys and girls in intergenerational dialogue with the senior leaders of their respective World Vision Field Offices.
