Arab Resource Collective (ARC)
ARC is considered one of the pioneers in using the Child-to-Child approach and supporting a number of programmes in the Arab World through training and translated materials. Some of the areas that ARC has developed thematic expertise in include child rights, early childhood development, and advocacy. Materials development is also an area that ARC has developed expertise in and it has taken the lead in translating a number of Child-to-Child materials into Arabic and has developed other materials and newsletters that boast a wide readership around the Arab World. Currently ARC is one of the four Resource Groups supporting the Child-to-Child Trust’s work. Read more
