Strategic Objectives

Strategic Objectives

In order to realise the Aflatoun dream and achieve our mission, Aflatoun structures its work around five strategic objectives:

  1. To create awareness about the social and economic rights of children as stated in Article 4 of the Convention of the Rights of the Child.
    This work involves advocacy with regional and national governments, central banks, as well as multilateral and bilateral organizations.
  2. To facilitate the inclusion of Child Social and Financial Education (CSFE) into formal and informal education systems as a recognition of children's rights. This work is focused on getting government bodies and NGOs worldwide to includeCSFE into their activities and curricula.
  3. To create a culture of savings and financial management amongst children globally. This work involves the implementation of the Aflatoun Programme in education systems worldwide through partnership with local NGOs.
  4. To facilitate children'sentrepreneurial development through the formation of Aflatoun clubs. This work involves the formation of Aflatoun clubs, whichcomplement on the CSFE curriculumby engaging children in entrepreneurial activities and child-run microenterprises.
  5. To facilitate the review of banking policies and procedures to ensure child-friendliness and global access to banking services for older children.
    This work involves lobbying Central Banks in order to increase children's access to banking and financial services.

Working towards these five strategic objectives is what keeps the Aflatoun wheels turning. The achievement of some, or even one, of these goals brings Aflatoun closer to its ultimate goal of a global society that has broken the cycle of poverty.
