ChildFund vision for destination 2020 to establish a world which children are realize their rights and reach their full potency, and to put an ending of violence against children as priority. This vision deepens its well-being and protection programs for children as one of its major strategy in attaining the core outcomes for every life stage. ChildFund child protection approach is to “strengthen child protection system through - community-based child protection mechanisms” with the view that most child protection system models emphasizes on the statutory and more formal system, and that these national systems has limited reached to communities even as efforts are being made by governments and other agencies to strengthen them.
Systems thinking had reshaped the definition of child protection to include all those elements that play a part in the protection of children, including less formal mechanisms and components.
