Save the Children’s global strategy is about transforming the impact for and with children, putting the protection of the rights of children most impacted by inequality and discrimination at the center of our work. 

This mirrors the pledge to Leave No One Behind in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which promised ‘that no one will be left behind’ and that goals will be met for ‘all segments of society.’ 

Addressing structural inequalities and discrimination requires Save the Children and governments as duty bearers of child rights to gather and analyze data using inclusive data approaches and principles. It also calls on them to use this data in strategic decision-making and accountability processes within and outside Save the Children. Without inclusive and disaggregated data, relevant insights and evidence will be missing when decisions are made. 

For Save the Children, becoming an Inclusive Data Charter (IDC) champion has allowed them to expand partnerships, learn more effectively from other organizations, and contribute at scale to improving the collection and use of inclusive data.
