Save the Children (SC) is
an international organization with 27 member organizations across the globe. It
is united by a common mission and brand but, to some extent, has until now been
working independently from country to country and within countries.
With the decision by all
Save the Children organizations to create an International Programmes Unit
(IPU) taken in 2010, Save the Children aims to create a stronger voice for
children by unifying the operations in all countries.
After one year of
unification and as a result of an active fundraising strategy the programme
budget was over GBP 10m covering thematic areas of protection, child survival
(which includes health, nutrition and livelihoods), education, and Child Rights
Governance.
