Defence for Children International Netherlands - ECPAT Netherlands

Nonprofit from the Netherlands

Defence for Children International (DCI) is an independent grassroots and human rights-based non-governmental organisation that has been promoting and protecting the human rights of children on a global, regional, national and local level for over 35 years, dedicated to ensuring an ongoing, practical, systematic and concerted international action as articulated by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), its Optional Protocols and all other existing international human rights standards and instruments. ECPAT International is a global network of organisations working together for the elimination of child prostitution, child pornography and the trafficking of children for sexual purposes. It seeks to ensure that children everywhere enjoy their fundamental rights free and secure from all forms of commercial sexual exploitation. In the Netherlands, Defence for Children and ECPAT work together as one organization.

Amounts committed each year by the European Commission to the organisation (contracts and grants), from the EU Financial Transparency System. A commitment often covers several project years and, in consortia, may include shares of other partners. They are not income for the year and should not be compared directly with the accounts.

Public funds from donor governments

Payments by donor in the last 5 years
Donor2020
State Department (United States)€1.3M

Payments to the organisation reported by the aid agencies of 17 countries (USAID, FCDO, BMZ, Sida and others) in their own IATI data, converted to euros at the year's average rate. They include funds passed on to local partners. Not all donors name the recipient of their payments, so figures may be incomplete; EU funds are in their own section.
