The Children's Group (Groupe Enfance) was founded in late 2014 by SOS Enfants Sans Frontières, ECPAT and SOS Villages d'Enfants, three NGOs of the Coordination Humanitaire et Développement engaged daily in child protection.
They decided to pool their efforts to give children a prominent place in development aid policies. They have since been joined by nine NGOs, strengthening their ability to press decision-makers and institutions to put children at the heart of international cooperation debates.
" The Children's Group believes that by fulfilling children's rights, the Sustainable Development Goals will be achieved more effectively and more sustainably. "
