Mobile operators affect children through the ways they manage their facilities and assets, and how they develop, produce, market and deliver products and services – whether directly or through business partners and suppliers. They have a responsibility to respect children’s rights throughout their operations and through their relationships with business partners and key stakeholders. To support mobile operators in understanding and evaluating their child rights impacts, UNICEF and the mobile operator Millicom, with support from Den Norske Veritas, teamed up in 2014 to develop the first edition of the ‘mobile operator child rights impact self-assessment’ or ‘MO-CRIA’ tool. The MO-CRIA self-assessment tool is primarily designed to offer an easy-to-use and comprehensive
self-assessment framework for mobile operators. This guide to the MO-CRIA self-assessment tool is meant to support the ‘assessor’, or the person(s) coordinating and leading the self-assessment process. It outlines the background, purposes and functions of MOCRIA self-assessment tool; provides practical advice on implementing the tool; further information on each issue to help assess the company’s current performance; and supporting material to explain child rights implications to colleagues participating in the assessment.
