We are 29 national organisations working together to deliver programmes in 120 countries around the world. Our national organisations work together to campaign for better practices and policies, build partnerships with communities, civil society, governments and the private sector, and to deliver programmes at scale to support children.

Save the Children also has four Advocacy Offices working for policy change to benefit children, targeting the United Nations, European Union and the African Union.

The Save the Children Secretariat office, based in London, coordinates our work and supports Save the Children's national organisations to ensure we achieve the greatest possible impact for children.

Save the Children has recently agreed a new global 2010-2015 strategy to dramatically increase the scope and scale of our work to change children's lives. As part of our new strategy we have launched our biggest ever global campaign, EVERY ONE, to save children's lives.

As part of the new strategy, Save the Children is now governed and led by the Save the Children International Board. The Board is responsible for overseeing a holistic global strategy for Save the Children. Save the Children's CEO works closely with the national organisations to lead and manage the delivery of the global strategy. The CEO represents Save the Children globally, will lead the delivery of international programmes and drive growth in order to deliver on our ambitious objectives for children.

We also made a significant decision to bring together all our programme work in 120 countries - such as our health, education and protection work - into one management structure and drive the growth of our organisation so we can double the scale of our international work. The changes will mean we can be even more efficient and accountable to children - by pooling our resources we will avoid duplication and ensure we continue to deliver high quality programmes as efficiently as possible. These changes will not start taking effect until 2011.
