This toolkit developed by Plan International Asia-Pacific Regional Hub serves as a practical compendium of programming guidance for practitioners, and contributes to accelerating efforts to end child, early and forced marriage and unions (CEFMU) by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The key intention behind it is to offer and make available consolidated practical guidance on effective and impactful CEFMU programming and practices for Plan International and other civil society practitioners and actors in the region and beyond. As such, the practical guidance and ideas presented in the toolkit have been developed based on good practices, lessons learned, and programme evidence from the Asia-Pacific region, promoting a gender-transformative, multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder approach to CEFMU programming.
The toolkit is divided into 3 sections:
- Section 1: An overview of CEFMU in the Asia-Pacific region
- Section 2: Key principles and concepts for a gender-transformative approach
- Section 3: Practical aspects of CEFMU programme design and implementation.
