Developmental Action Without Borders (Naba'a)

As an organization committed to the full and unconditional implementation of the Articles of the Convention on the rights of the Child, they believe that advocating in favor of these rights is fundamental to their work. They firmly believe that communities based on respect for these fundamental rights will be healthier, safer and stronger and will create environments in which children can develop, physically, socially and emotionally; reaching their potential. Naba’a works through this program to raise awareness on these rights. The work is primarily based around the rights of the child but also covers the rights of young people, women and the general situation regarding the poor and refugee communities. As well as raising awareness amongst children, local communities, schools, NGOs, service providers and public authorities, they aim to highlight rights violations. By monitoring, understanding and campaigning against these, this program aims to reduce and ultimately eradicate their occurrence. By working closely with local communities they hope to better understand rights issues and tailor this program to the needs and issues they discover. They aim to stand up for the most vulnerable members of society whilst at the same time offering them the skills, information and confidence they need to stand up for themselves. This is done through their training and awareness raising activities. This program aims to develop the advocacy skills of community members and groups. This empowers them to be able to influence decision-makers and service providers, encouraging them to consider and implement policies and provide good quality services, which address the issues important to the community.
