Global Policy and Advocacy Resources
Department of Public Policy and Advocacy
Save the Children’s Public Policy and Advocacy Department develops evidence-based policy proposals to improve the lives of the world’s most excluded and vulnerable children. We contribute to informing policy makers and building the political will to drive meaningful policy change at the local, national and international levels to empower children and their families. Our research and advocacy draw from the evidence generated by our programs in 120 countries around the world and through our partnerships with government, the private sector and civil society.
