Non-governmental organizations (NGO)
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is any
non-profit, voluntary citizens' group which is
organized on a local, national or international
level. Some are organized around specific

the specific needs of the employers. Training
providers receive advisory services through the
project to enhance their programs and services.

handicraft and cottage industries, shipbuilding,
furniture, light engineering, leather and footwear,
readymade garments and textiles, and
automobiles.

and cultural aspects of the interdependence of
people and nature. Both in the classroom and

Education is a fundamental human right:
Every child is entitled to it. It is critical to our development as
individuals and as societies, and it helps pave the way to a
successful and productive future
United Nations Children’s Fund
21
Some priorities in education:
• Equal access to education and
universal primary school
• Empowerment of women
through girls’ education
• Early childhood development
and school readiness
Pestalozzi 7/2012
International Development Cooperation
We (UNICEF) understand that
schools are not ’one size fits all’
institutions, and that children
have diverse needs”.
Quality education is child-centred,
gender-sensitive and tailored to
different age groups. It is based on
a curriculum that is relevant to the
needs and reality of all learners,
and it is transmitted through
professionally trained teachers
equipped with appropriate learning
materials.
Education can be either formal or nonformal, encompassing literacy,
numeracy and life skills.
22
Pestalozzi 7/2012

Children start learning at birth, and
the first few years of their lives
are critical to developing their
cognitive, language, emotional
and social skills.
Families and communities have critical
roles in preparing children for
school. Learning begins at birth,
and the years from birth to roughly
age three are the most crucial
period in the development of the
human brain.
UNICEF’s efforts towards school
readiness include parenting
education along with formal
preschool. In many countries,
parenting education initiatives
integrate adult literacy with
parenting and life skills education.

Adolescents are often seen as the next generation of actors on the
social and economic stage.
(early adolescence: 10 to14 years / late adolescence: 15 to 19 years)
Lack of appropriate skills and of work
opportunities are denying
adolescents and youth a future of
stable, productive work
Attendance and completion of
secondary school, access to quality
health care, participation in
decision-making and protection
from violence, exploitation and
abuse are fundamental to
empowering adolescents to realize
their full potential.

Adolescent empowerment: Bangladesh
Peer education
In 28 districts across Bangladesh, UNICEF
sponsors 2,580 adolescent centres, where
trained adolescent leaders educate their
peers about child rights, child marriage,
reproductive health, gender, HIV/AIDS,
dowry, and violence.
Participation
The centres run various cultural and sporting
activities. Encouraging girls to play sport
helps address gender disparities, boosting
girls’ mobility and participation in community
activities. Through some of the centres,
adolescent girls can access training in small
business management and livelihood trades,
such as garment manufacture. Increasing the
economic worth of adolescents strengthens
arguments against child marriage and dowry.
28
A supportive community
Parents and community members participate
in sessions at the centres that are linked to
the adolescents’ programmes. These adults
meet regularly with the adolescents, helping
to build a support network for the teenagers.
Adults and adolescents work together to
prevent child rights abuses in the local
community.
Pestalozzi 7/2012

Developing adolescents’ capacities
and values through education can
enable an entire generation to
become economically independent,
positive contributors to society.
Investing in education and training
for adolescents and young people is
perhaps the single most promising
action to end extreme poverty
during this decade.
