SELECTION
PROCESS

Every other year ChildX selects a specific theme. The chosen theme focuses on a key challenge identified through the context of our work that may for example be widely underreported or particularly vulnerable for deficiencies in the child protection system, or specifically challenging for organizations working on the ground.

The selection process consists of an open nomination process open for the public where individuals and organizations can nominate. The process also includes in-depth desk research and interviews by the ChildX team. In the ongoing search, thorough due diligence is conducted to evaluate the quality, sustainability and impact of the nominations.

The criteria for the selection of organizations are both individual for every candidate but also complementary to create a group of 10 that will benefits from each others experiences. For all organizations, an investigation is made of the organization’s:

• Financesl and financial reporting
• Child rights based approach
• Procedures and protocols to prevent child abuse
• The general aims and goals and impact of the work
• Preventive work to reduce the risk of negative consequences of the actions implemented (so-called “Do no harm” principle)

The analysis of the organization, together with a description and assessment of the organisation’s operational work, is presented to the selection committee, which then decides which 10 organizations will receive support during the next year.
