The Children’s Rights Knowledge Centre (KeKi ) strives to strengthen and acknowledge the position of children in society. Central to this approach is the respect for and guarantee of their rights. KeKi:

• inspires research, policy and practice to integrate a children’s rights reflex in all their decision-making processes and actions.
• offers field practitioners concrete, workable frameworks and instruments to realise the integration of children’s rights in their daily practice.
• works together with researchers to disseminate knowledge and insights on children’s rights and their application.
• inspires policymakers to give due weight to children’s rights in policymaking processes.

KeKi is the bridge between research, policy and practice.

Dialogue and connection are part of our DNA.
