The Community for Children’s Rights (CCR) carves space for women and children in policymaking through community mobilisation workshops and a new messaging platform, Councillor Connect. Workshops mobilise communities around issues related to women and children, while Councillor Connect offers a SMS messaging service to link councillors and constituents, ensuring policy priorities are swiftly communicated to those in power. Councillor Connect operates in conjunction with local government officials, allowing for direct accountability on a small scale.
