Vision:

The National Programme of Action (NPA) seeks to create and build an environment where children are nurtured and can grow up to be the best they can be;

and the NPA seeks to develop a new culture where children can be given the priority they deserve in all walks of life: at home, at school and in the community.

The NPA's vision is articulated in this simple statement:

Put Children First

Mission:

To advance the best interests of the child in all matters affecting them;

To promote and enable the realization of child rights to survival, development, protection, and participation; and

To mobilise resources at all levels.
