OUR STRATEGY, GUIDLINES AND POLICIES

OUR STRATEGY
(Our approach to mind change)

Our commitment to the most vulnerable children and women.
By putting the most vulnerable children and women first, we focused to contribute to reduce extreme vulnerability; designing effective and relevant programming as well as positioning the right direction.

All our resources reach the most vulnerable children and women. In the financial year 2021, our funding was fully allocated to supporting the most vulnerable for a better future. Moving forward we are developing and adopting critical new models and tools to address the key drivers of vulnerability.

Strengthening programming for the most vulnerable children with special focusing on the invisible because of gender inequality, social exclusion, or disabilities.  Accelerating fundraising for sustainable support to the target communities.  Scaling programmes that have positive environmental outcomes for children and implementing a global carbon-reduction target.

Vision Save for Vulnerable Children and Women goals are based on our vision and respond to the need for sustainable development. All VSVCW’s activities are carried out in support of Building Resilience in Communities’ goals. We, build resilient communities, which can form the basis for sustainable development and inclusive growth. VSVCW has significant technical expertise and experience to support the goals.

 Vision Save for Vulnerable Children and Women organizes and prioritizes work under the three international goals within two thematic policies, which are Safer Communities, and cross cutting policies on Gender Equity and Rights Based Approach. All programmes and projects in VSVCW are developed and implemented within the thematic priorities of these polices. All our work will support achieving some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and from all programme goals there will be contributions to SDG 5, 16, and 17. Depending on the context and particular programme priorities there will be contributions to achieving other SDG’s, too.

POLICIES DRIVING OUR CAUSE

The organization’s guidelines and policies

It is essential for VSVCW that all employees be familiar with the organization’s guidelines and policies and be aware of how employees are expected to behave and contribute to an open, respectful and transparent working environment, free from abuse. Therefore, it is mandatory that within the first three months of their employment, employees undergo a number of trainings related to VSVCW’s protection policies. In addition, VSVCW considers it a priority for management to have insight into and responsibility for monitoring the workplace and ensuring there are resources to help maintain a high standard. VSVCW has a well-established complaint system and encourages everyone to report complaints regarding sexual harassment and other violations of the organization’s protection policies. Furthermore, all VSVCW employees are obliged to report suspected violations of VSVCW’s protection policies and code of conduct.

Human Rights Policy – an Organizational Commitment

This policy outlines VSVCW’s organizational commitment to respect human rights in all forms of operation, relations and engagement. It outlines VSVCW key policies, procedures and mechanisms for clarifying expectations to employees, partners and business relations.

Protection Policies

Vision Save for Vulnerable Children and Women (VSVCW) is focused on and committed to child safeguarding and preventing sexual exploitation and abuse. VSVCW endeavors to ensure that children involved in Vision Save for Vulnerable Children and Women’s activities are respected and that they are not exploited.
Therefore, VSVCW has developed the Child Safeguarding Policy, which aims to prevent and minimize risks related to physical or emotional violence, harm or abuse, as well as exploitation, including the sexual abuse of children. Sexual assault can be anything from verbal harassment through digital sex offences to physical sexual assault. Vision Save for Vulnerable Children and Women works based on the perspective of access to human rights and equal opportunity. VSVCW strives to create an environment of respect for the human rights of the stakeholders, partners and employees of the organisation. VSVCW has developed the Prevent and Respond to Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment Policy.

MONITORING AND EVALAUTION (How we ensure goal fulfilment and learning)

Vision Save for Vulnerable Children and Women monitors both the actions that bring results in our programmes and projects, and the challenges that prevent us from achieving our goals in our projects and programmes. In the latter situation, Vision Save for Vulnerable Children and Women works together to find solutions to such challenges in order to ensure successful implementation. Monitoring takes place on an ongoing basis when working on projects and programmes and consists of project visits, meetings, reporting and follow-up. In this way, we make sure to keep track of our experiences and create learning opportunities both internally and with our partners.

Guidelines and tools for monitoring and evaluation
Vision Save for Vulnerable Children and Women has developed guidelines and tools to ensure that their experience is used to assist with future project and programme planning. In addition, documentation is also provided about Vision Save for Vulnerable Children and Women’s supporters, aid recipients, and donors.
