The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (IDEP) – 2020: Social Media Pack for Partners

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (IDEP) is a global event marked every year on 17th October. It is a day for awareness, activism and action against poverty. Arigatou International — End Child Poverty uses this opportunity to organize multiple processes to cast a spotlight on child poverty and to mobilize actions to address it. We anchor our IDEP actions upon our broader ‘Together We Can End Child Poverty Worldwide’ campaign, which mobilizes community awareness, activism and advocacy. Among other actions, during IDEP October 17th, we promote awareness on child poverty, through online messaging.

At Arigatou International—End Child Poverty, we take part in IDEP by:

1. Promoting Awareness on child poverty, through online messaging, public forums and other such related events.
2. Promoting Advocacy and Lobbying, calling decision makers and policy makers and influencers to task, so that child poverty can be addressed as a priority concern at a community, national and global level.
3. Accompanying and supporting grassroots actions towards ending child poverty.

You too can take part in IDEP by way of promoting awareness, advocacy and lobbying and leading grassroots actions.

Guiding Principles on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights

The Guiding Principles on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights are the first global policy guidelines focused specifically on the human rights of people living in poverty. They are intended for use by governments to ensure that public policies, including poverty eradication efforts, reach the poorest members of society, respect and uphold their rights, and take into account the significant social, cultural, economic and structural obstacles to human rights enjoyment faced by persons living in poverty.

A Dialogical Guide to Peace-building

This interfaith dialogue guide blends Scripture (Islamic and Christian) with family systems theory to offer specific guidelines, techniques and practices that can help bridge religious, ethnic and other kinds of identity divides. It was designed to help facilitators bring together Christians and Muslims in workshops, dialogues, mediations, meetings, interventions or mentoring groups. Although designed for use within the Nigerian cultural context, it is applicable within many other cultural contexts where faith is a critical factor, and where identity differences divide a population, resulting in community rupture or violence.

Over the next fifteen years, youth will not only directly experience the outcome of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and plans, but will also be the key driver for their successful implementation. This hand book for Youth explores the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda from a youth perspective as they channel their passion and energy towards the collective journey to build a sustainable world for all.

Sustainable Development Goals to End Child Poverty Guide.

A world in which no child grows up in poverty and every child can fulfill their potential would be a different world indeed. This is why we see ending child poverty as a defining challenge of human progress. Two years ago, a diverse group of organizations Arigatou Internationals' End Child Poverty Initiative included, came together to form a Global Coalition to End Child Poverty to work collectively for change. This guide is an attempt to harness their knowledge and experience in supporting national processes to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1 on Ending Poverty, which includes children explicitly for the first time in global poverty goals and, in doing so, support all the SDGs which are so crucial to the realization of children’s rights. This guide seeks to share experiences from across the world to support countries building national pathways to end child poverty.
