Networking and working in synergies with others

Children's Voice Today works in partnership with local and regional child rights networks to achieve results for children. CVT Rwanda is founder member of the Rwanda Civil Society Child Rights Coalition known as "Coalition Umwana ku Isonga", created in November 2010 for the purpose of networking with a mandate to monitor and to report on the implementation of the United Nations Child Rights Convention (UNCRC), the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the child rights implementation, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC).

CVT collaborates closely with the Rwanda Civil Society Organization, and is targeting to join other networks and umbrellas within and out of Rwanda

CVT Rwanda is a member of the African Movement of Working Children and Youth (AMWCY) (MAEJT: Mouvement Africain des Enfants et Jeunes Travailleurs). The MAEJT was founded in Bouaké, Senegal in 1994 by working children from four countries (Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mali and Senegal). The founding group agreed upon principals for the realization of an international organization, including the identification of 12 basic rights to which all working children and youth are entitled and the intention to meet on an annual basis to review and evaluate the progress of each national organization.
