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.

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.
