slide3. Small Voices, Big Dreams Objectives

The objectives of the 2016 SVBD report is to amplify the voices of children in the countries where ChildFund Alliance operates, increasing overall awareness of ChildFund. 

The survey results enable ChildFund to position as a child focused network with valuable insights that are useful in program direction and implementation, and global advocacy efforts. 

Finally, SVBD is one of the world's largest child opinion surveys, which includes the responses of approximately 6,000 children annually from more than 40 countries. This year, we are working to increase child participation.

slide4. Small Voices, Big Dreams Theme

The theme for 2016 is Safe Schools to align with the Sustainable Development Goals. This will help highlight the varied experience of children at school around the world and the need for safe and protective environments. It also enables ChildFund Alliance to highlight our work.

Question development

Question theme was reviewed by CMC members/Secretariat and approved at CEO forum in April. 

DRAFT questions were developed in advance of the April APC/CMC meetings in New York. Input was gathered from advocacy experts Secretariat, program experts APC, communications experts CMC and Data Agency.<br>
slide5. Small Voices, Big Dreams Dates/Timeline

Small Voices, Big Dreams 2016 will be launched in the week prior to November 20th (Universal Children's Day). This is to ensure maximum exposure with media. November 20th is on a Sunday in 2016, so launching on the actual date will limit our ability to get attention.

slide6. Small Voices, Big Dreams Number of surveys

In previous years, we have received data from approximately 44 countries. 

This year, we have created surveys for 64 countries to reflect the changing reach of the Alliance member organizations. While not all countries will provide data, this is significantly more than in past years.

We can assume that we could get 1,000 to 2,000 additional survey responses, but it is difficult to predict at this time.<br>
slide7. Small Voices, Big Dreams Budget

This year, ChildFund Alliance will be contributing $38,000 USD from member organizations ($3,500 USD each member) + $30,000 USD from ChildFund Alliance budget.

This will be used for several purposes: 
Data review and analysis
Website development
Report Design and Copywriting
Media Relations support

Social and traditional media relations strategic planning

Management

slide8. Small Voices, Big Dreams Fundraising trials

At CMC 2016 global fundraising activities were discussed

Members agreed to undertake market trials of linking SVBD to fundraising and program work

Members are encouraged to connect program work to SVBD results/media releases and ask members of the public/media to support that work. For example, teacher training programs, school building, scholarships, catalogue items etc

We will share results and learnings through CMC

Each of our members tailors their press release to their own markets and enabling them to also speak about their program work will allow us to take advantage of our network structure<br>
slide9. ChildFund Alliance Meeting CMC representatives participated in reviewing the ChildFund Alliance draft strategic priorities1. Advocacy and Child Friendly Accountability
2. Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Response
3. Membership Engagement and Strengthening

This enabled CMC members to fully understand ChildFund Alliance’s direction, and to think through how the key priorities are already reflected in members operational plans and how they can also continue to adapt planning to align effectively

Members also participated in working sessions: Advocacy at UN, National/Regional levels, Humanitarian and Communications

Having marketing and communications expertise contributing to ChildFund Alliance’s strategic planning is critical to ensure collective action

Commitment to assist the Secretariat in the development of advocacy and communications materials and the new communications function<br>
slide10. CMC Skill Share Agenda

Innovation was a focus with presentations from:

ChildFund International: innovation, new products, public service announcements and price increase process

Educo: gifts, child protection kits and corporate relationships

ChildFund Australia: digital community sponsorship, brand proposition and Childhood Campaign development

ChildFund New Zealand: acquisition innovation, television and emergency donors

ChildFund Ireland: community fundraising and media with Camogie Association

ChildFund Korea: sponsorship materials and corporate relationships

Christian Children’s Fund Canada: innovation and ambassador development<br>
slide11. CMC Skill Share Agenda continued

CMC worked on SVBD 2015 results and 2016 planning

CMC also reminded members of the ChildFund Alliance Corporate Relations Policy
Discussions around global fundraising were extensive and woven throughout the 2 day meeting

Input and learning was undertaken alongside presentations

Collective emergency response work was also discussed

Members reported that this is the only truly open forum that CMC experts can gather feedback and discussion of actual results, which can then be applied to activities. CMC members give each other solid insight and extend each other by giving advice on how an activity could be improved to increase response rate or coverage<br>
slide12. CMC Skill Share Takeaway

At each CMC members take ideas and replicate it over the next year in their own markets, using the original activity as a benchmark

A good example of this was the CEO Auction New Zealand presented last year that was trialled this year by CCFC, Educo and Australia

Educo will copy the price increase model from International and corporate activity from Korea (Hyundai double digit campaign)

Ireland will copy sponsorship materials (CIF) from Korea

International will copy brand development process model from Australia, sponsorship materials from Korea and investigate implementing the CEO Auction from New Zealand. They have also taken away the wording ‘six words to make you cry’ from Korea<br>
slide13. CMC Skill Share Takeaway continued

Australia will copy CSA model from International, sponsorship materials (CIF) from Korea and try to emulate Camogie model from Ireland. They also will weave CCFC’s thinking into their own Ambassador program.

Korea will look at the Childhood campaign from Australia and incorporate in their filming

New Zealand will use information from a range of presentations to focus their regular giving bonding processes and also use ChildFund International’s information to assess a price increase

Japan will produce a Nepal update, one year on, for all Alliance members

CCFC will use the information from brand development work from Australia and incorporate feedback from the SVBD sessions<br>
