For this project, Trinity Project would be working to expand and scale up work with individuals and communities through organizing and training a national network of voluntary groups called Child Protection Committees (CPCs), and other community leaders, to champion birth registration and implement the model in communities in 2 districts of Bubi and Umguza. By using CPCs, a voluntary group already committed and capable of working on birth registration, we will tap into a national network, allowing our project to scale up and intervene in more communities, and ensure a high-quality intervention through initial capacity-building and training – including workshops, training courses, and sensitization sessions, which will cover the birth registration crisis, existing barriers, effective methods in responding to individual cases,  training on facilitating community action and awareness raising.

At the individual level, the organization will capacitate CPCs on the birth registration process and legal matters, so they can provide a range of free expert legal advice and services to individual cases, offering tailored support which helps overcome the various issues that individuals and households face, supporting beneficiaries to obtain these vital documents, by working directly with families, liaising with relevant stakeholders and expediting registration processes. Trinity Project will be there to advise and support on more complex cases.

Trinity Project will run capacity-building training and sensitization for CPCs, so that they have  skills to run awareness raising sessions for adults and children, training sessions for relevant stakeholders on children’s rights, registration and child protection. Following workshops and guidelines from Trinity, CPCs will also facilitate community action plans to address sociocultural attitudes and institutional bottlenecks.
