View this email in your browser February 2024 Edition

The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action ("The Alliance") envisions a world in which children are protected from abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence in humanitarian settings. Its mission is to support the efforts of humanitarian actors to achieve high-quality and effective child protection interventions in both refugee and non-refugee humanitarian contexts. To further this mission, the Alliance Strategy 2021-2025 advocates for the centrality  of children and their protection to be recognised and prioritised as essential and life-saving across the humanitarian system.

This February 2024 edition invites you to join the 2024 Annual Meeting and summarises Alliance efforts to protect children and equip child protection actors in humanitarian settings.

The Alliance is organising the 2024 Annual Meeting on Child Protection in Humanitarian Action in Panama City, Panama on the 4th - 6th of June 2024. This year's meeting will focus on the crucial theme: "Protecting Children in Escalating Conflict and Crises: Armed Violence, Climate Shocks, and Displacement.” You can learn more about the meeting theme by exploring the Background Paper

The Annual Meeting is an opportunity for stakeholders and duty-bearers to come together once per year to discuss lessons and evidence, network, and collectively advocate for real change. We need you: your experience, insights, and commitment. If you are interested in attending, we invite you to express your interest by the 8th of March.* If you cannot attend in person, please check back on the Alliance website for more information on how you can view the 2024 Annual Meeting. 

*Please note that availability is limited and expressions of interest do not guarantee your participation. 

Express your Interest to Attend Here --> Red Hand Day 2024 Each year on February 12th, ‘Red Hand Day’ marks the adoption of the Optional Protocol of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child for the protection of children in armed conflict. This day of international awareness aims to remind the international community to strengthen efforts to end the recruitment and use of children in armed conflicts. 

In 2023, the escalation of armed conflicts, increasing violations of International Humanitarian Law, and disregard of International Human Rights Law has had devastating consequences for children and their protection. An increase in the scale and intensity of conflicts, often with no clear end in sight, paints a very bleak outlook for children in 2024.

On Red Hand Day 2024, the CAAFAG Task Force and members joined together to ask for collective action to prevent recruitment, facilitate release, and respond to the needs of children associated with armed forces or armed groups.

In simple words: ‘End the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict. Children must always be protected!’  Explore key tools and guidance to design and implement programmes for the prevention, release, and reintegration of CAAFAG Latest Alliance Learning Opportunities and Materials The CPMS Working Group has been reflecting on how we can use the sector’s common, core document to increase our accountability to children affected by humanitarian crises and we are looking for child protection agencies to pilot some tools on being more accountable to children and  adolescents.

Over the course of June and July 2024, your humanitarian staff would run six short sessions with children (2-3 with adolescents) and we would provide and train you on the materials and the feedback form. The tools are in English but we are selecting one additional language; we would ask you to translate the children's materials into the most relevant language.

For more information or to indicate your agency’s interest, please contact: cpms.wg@alliancecpha.org. --> CPMS E-course - Now in Ukrainian and Polish!

The sharp escalation in the scale and intensity of armed conflicts and the increasing violation of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Rights Law (IHRL) throughout 2023 has had devastating consequences for children’s rights, including their right to protection. One in five children globally live in or are fleeing from conflict zones. Forced displacement reached unprecedented levels in 2023 and children constitute 41% of all forcibly displaced people despite being only 30% of the world's population. Due to the protracted nature of conflict, the majority of these children will spend their entire childhoods in displacement.

Children are being maimed and killed, recruited and used by armed forces and groups, abducted, and subjected to sexual violence. Meanwhile essential services and infrastructure, including hospitals and schools, are being attacked or used by armed groups and armed forces for military purposes, and life-saving humanitarian assistance is being deliberately denied. The physical, emotional, and mental health impacts these violations have on children are devastating in the short term and will have detrimental impacts on their healthy development in the long term if not addressed.

The UN Secretary General’s 2023 report on Children and Armed Conflict included the highest ever numbers of verified grave violations against children throughout 2022. Situations with the highest numbers of children affected were the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Israel and the State of Palestine, Somalia, Ukraine, and Syria. Attacks against schools and hospitals increased by 112% and the recruitment and use of children by armed forces and armed groups rose by 21% compared to the previous year. With the outbreak or escalation of conflicts during 2023—particularly in Sudan and the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem—the number of violations against children throughout 2023 will almost certainly be higher. Ending and preventing grave violations against children and ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable has never been more urgent. More details and specific recommendations on Children Affected by Armed Conflict can be found in the Technical Annex. UNI443387/Benekire: Children displaced by the violence living in the Rhoe Internally Displaced Persons site in Ituri province in eastern DR Congo on 26 September 2023. UNI484041/Filippov: 17-year-old Habriel is standing in front of a building, destroyed by the shelling on 28 October 2023 in Izium, Ukraine. UNI485696/El Baba: Two Palestinian children sitting in the rubble of what is left of their house in Rafah city, southern Gaza Strip, in November 2023.  ​​The current war in Gaza is the deadliest conflict for children in recent times. 
  In the first month alone, 10 times more children were killed in Gaza than in the entire first year of the war in Ukraine.  Children and their families have nowhere safe to go as Israel continues to bomb previously declared safe areas. Children are being maimed and suffering physical injuries, with little option for medical care or treatment. More than 10 children a day lose a limb with lifelong consequences for their physical and mental health.  All children in Gaza are highly food insecure and at risk of famine.  Three months of constant bombardment and restrictions on aid entering Gaza have created the conditions for an exponential rise in malnutrition, with extremely limited access to food and water.

Any use of starvation as a method of warfare is strictly prohibited under international law and will have deadly consequences for children. An immediate ceasefire is needed now in order to save children’s lives and protect them from the longer-term impacts of conflict.

Children have the right to a safe and healthy environment, yet the climate crisis continues unabated. During 2023, climate-induced disasters continued to increase in scale, frequency, and intensity, often against a backdrop of conflict and instability. From catastrophic flooding in Libya, to climate, conflict, and poverty induced migration and displacement along extremely dangerous routes such as the United States-Mexico border, children pay the heaviest price, yet are the least responsible for climate change.

Devastating earthquakes in Syria, Afghanistan, Türkiye, and Morocco have exacted an enormous toll on children and their families. Social protection mechanisms, many of which are already reeling from the global pandemic and other crises, are only getting further away from meeting the increasing needs of the most vulnerable children and their families. 

Economic vulnerability stemming from lack of livelihoods opportunities continues to be a major driver of child protection risks, such as trafficking, child labour, neglect, psychosocial distress, physical and emotional maltreatment, child marriage, family separation, and recruitment and use by armed forces and armed groups. Funding shortfalls in 2023 saw significant cuts in food assistance to vulnerable populations around the world, exacerbating root causes of protection risks for many children. In just one example, after the value of food vouchers to refugees in Cox’s Bazaar in Bangladesh was cut by a third in the first half of 2023, there has been a reported increase in child neglect, child labour, gender-based violence, violence within the household, recruitment of boys into criminal groups, trafficking, and tension between refugee and host communities.

UNI424890/Naftalin: On 4 March 2023, two boys look out over their flooded school in Bentiu, Unity State, South Sudan. Extensive flooding has affected thousands of people across Unity State with many having to flee their homes. UN0781448/Ölçer: A Syrian refugee family who survived the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit south-east Türkiye and Syria on 6 February 2023 shelter in the province of Onikişubat, Kahramanmaraş. UN0693152/Fazel: On 22 August 2023, three young boys huddled under the wreckage of their home in Jalalabad, which was destroyed by the recent floods in Nangarhar province, eastern Afghanistan.

As more and more people are forced to flee situations of conflict, violence, and climate-induced disasters, the number of forcibly displaced people reached another record high in 2023 and is now over 114 million people. Children affected by forced displacement and statelessness face heightened risks of violence, neglect, abuse, and exploitation.

In Sudan, where the world’s largest child displacement crisis has unfolded since the outbreak of conflict in April 2023, unaccompanied and separated children are particularly vulnerable to recruitment by parties to the conflict. Available data from some of the world’s most dangerous migration routes suggest that an increasing number of children in 2023 were unaccompanied or separated from families or caregivers. More than 11,600 children crossed the Central Mediterranean Sea to Italy without their parents or legal guardians between January and mid-September 2023, an increase of 60% compared to the same period the previous year. The Darien Gap—a remote, dangerous jungle crossing point between Colombia and Panama—saw a seven-fold increase in the numbers of children crossing in 2023 compared to 2022, amongst them a growing number of unaccompanied or separated children. Without the care of families or other caregivers, children are at heightened risk of exploitation, abuse, and neglect, as well as recruitment into armed forces and armed groups, unsafe migration, child labour, gender-based violence, and experiencing prolonged gaps in access to education with increased likelihood of never returning to learning.

More details and specific recommendations on Unaccompanied and Separated Children can be found in the Technical Annex UN0844235/Mohamdeen: On 12 May 2023, displaced children pose for a portrait at a temporary shelter. Following continued fighting that broke out in Khartoum on 15 April, children and their families have fled and sought safety in neighbouring safer states.  UNI480116/Membreño: Edguimar, age 10, looks out of the window of the bus that will transport her to Tegucigalpa to follow the migration route to the United States, after leaving the Temporary Rest Center "Alivio del Sufrimiento" located in El Paraíso, on 4 November, 2023 in Honduras. UN0854849/Urdaneta: Esther, an Haitian mother of two children, arrives in pirogue to Lajas Blancas Migrant Temporary Reception Center on 26 May 2023, after crossing the Darien jungle with her husband.  World Vision International: Two children staying at the CAS Hermanos Caminantes in March 2023 shelter head toward a tent for dinner. CAS is a shelter managed by WV that is on the road that connects Cúcuta with Bucaramanga, Colombia.  The unprecedented increase in children's rights violations and abuses throughout 2023, and in particular their right to protection, is alarming. Children (everyone under the age of 18) are a distinct group of rights-holders, with an additional set of rights accorded to them by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols, yet their rights are being flagrantly and increasingly violated with impunity. For children today, this has a devastating impact on their right to survive and develop to their full potential. Dangerous cycles of violence are gaining momentum across many humanitarian contexts and are seriously jeopardising future peace while also impacting the ability of the children of tomorrow to survive and thrive. --> Against this backdrop and in order to respond to increasing need, the Alliance calls for urgent action and investment in three critical areas in 2024!  --> 1) Invest in the Child Protection Workforce —it is the key asset to protect children in crises    The protective factors that exist in a child's ecosystem are eroded during times of crises, and children face new and increased protection risks. Life-saving and life-sustaining protection services and supports, to meet increasing numbers of affected children and their families, need to be available and scalable. The provision of these services and supports requires a resourced and skilled child protection workforce composed of actors from across local, national, government, and international agencies, as needed. A sufficient number of child protection staff that are well trained, supported, and available in humanitarian locations are crucial for quality child protection programming. 
  2) Prioritise preventing harm while continuing the response to urgent needs   While the best prevention remains the end to violence and hostilities and respect for the rights of civilians, particularly children, prevention of child protection harm is possible even amidst conflict and crises. Humanitarian and development actors, including governments, can reduce the likelihood of Child Protection harms and child rights violations by addressing the root causes of harm. If we wait to act until a child suffers an abuse or violation, it is already too late, and the harm can have irreversible impacts. Furthermore, preventing harm to children before it occurs is an ethical responsibility of all actors in humanitarian contexts, including governments and actors across the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. Primary prevention also increases the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of humanitarian interventions. 
  3) Join us - Every actor across the humanitarian system has a role to play in protecting children
All humanitarian actors play a role in ensuring children realise their rights, including their protection rights. Against a backdrop of increasingly complex, layered, and protracted humanitarian crises, growing needs, and widening funding gaps, it is more critical than ever to ensure all actors, across all levels of the humanitarian system, work hand in hand to address children’s holistic protection and well-being needs. This requires children becoming a central element of all policies and decision making across the humanitarian architecture.  More details and specific recommendations for each of these areas for action can be found in the Technical Annex UN0819983/Skyba: A child participates in an art therapy session at a Splino Child Spot in a metro station in Kyiv, Ukraine, on 25 March 2023. To support children and their caregivers amidst the war, UNICEF, along with partners, created Spilno Child Spots (Spilno means “together” in Ukrainian) to create a nurturing environment in which children can access free and structured play, recreation, leisure and learning activities, as well as therapy and counselling. Plan International: Coumba takes part in an integrated child protection and livelihoods programme ‘Avenir Brillant’ led by Plan International Mali and funded by the Italian Ministry of Interior. The programme provides child protection case management for vulnerable children and vocational training courses for children and young people aged 15 and above. Vocational skills and livelihood opportunities near to home are helping to prevent family separation and unsafe migration due to climate shocks and food insecurity.  UN0855919/Janji: Iman, 13, takes part in a UNICEF-supported educational activity at a school-turned-shelter in Aleppo city, Syria, on 15 March 2023. In Aleppo, one of the areas largely affected by the deadly earthquakes, UNICEF, with partners, is reaching affected children, including children with disabilities, with educational entertaining activities and catch-up remedial classes to help them make up for the missed learning and restore a sense of stability in their lives.  World Vision International: In conflict-affected Myanmar, Myo dropped out of school to work on a farm to support his family. On the farm he worked long hours, carried dangerously heavy loads, with no learning opportunities or leisure time. Myo is now part of a World Vision International Child Protection Case Management programme. Through this comprehensive, individualised support he now attends a vocational training programme and has time to help his sisters study. These critical areas of investment are further elaborated within the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action’s 2021–2025 Strategy A Clarion Call: The Centrality of Children and their Protection within Humanitarian Action and the Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action – an Introduction. They are also underpinned by the IASC Policy on Protection in Humanitarian Action  as a central element of all humanitarian action.

While Child Protection actors have evidence-based solutions, including tools, resources, and guidance to help children, their caregivers, communities, and fellow humanitarian workers protect children and respond when violence does happen, it is upon all of us to stop the cycle of violence and adversity that is harming children at such scale. As we look ahead to 2024 and beyond it is imperative that children’s rights are protected as a priority, before, during, and post conflict and crises.  --> About the Overview and Technical Annex: This Overview and its Technical Annex were developed by the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action.

The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (the Alliance) is organising the 2024 Annual Meeting on Child Protection in Humanitarian Action in Panama City from the 4th to the 6th of June 2024.

This year's meeting will focus on the crucial theme: "Protecting Children in Escalating Conflict and Crises: Armed Violence, Climate Shocks, and Displacement.” 

The Annual Meeting will be conducted in both English and Spanish, with simultaneous interpretation services available to ensure a seamless experience for all participants.

In response to insights from 300+ members and key stakeholders, this year's theme focuses on protecting children in escalating conflict and crises. This encompasses crises prompted by conflict or armed violence, climate shocks and natural hazards, and in many cases a combination. The impacts of escalating crises are most heavily felt by children, further complicating the child protection risks they face, whether in their communities or along migration routes. With the meeting in Latin America, we'll address the region's unique challenges, providing a platform for participants to share, exchange, and showcase expertise from diverse global and regional perspectives.

Join Us! Explore all the details for Abstract Submission and Attendance below.

As we approach the end of 2023, the Alliance would like to express our gratitude to our valued members and partners for your continued commitment and dedication to inter-agency work to ensure the protection of children in humanitarian action. We wish you a happy and restful end of the year and look forward to working with you in 2024! 

In 2023, we achieved a lot together. Of note are... 

In June, we held the Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action on the Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action: Research, Policy, and Practice: 

-->

In September, the Alliance launched our new E-Learning Hub on the Kaya Connect platform!

The Alliance E-Learning Hub is the new home of the Alliance’s learning and development resources. The Learners Area houses our self-paced learning content including the CPMS e-course in English, French and Spanish, and Arabic, with Polish and Ukrainian coming very soon. There is also a Facilitators Area, where individuals who train others can access and download Alliance learning packages.

Start exploring and sign up for free here!

In 2023, the number of General Members of the Alliance surpassed 244 members with 49 organisations joining the Alliance. From these new members, the majority are National or Local organisations, with 40 National or Local organisations, 7 international organisations, 1 regional organisation and 1 academic institution joining in 2023.

In 2023, the Child Protection in Humanitarian Action Community of Practice, in collaboration with the Child Protection Area of Responsibility, reached 2,450 members and counting!

Register for the CPHA Community of Practice here.

We celebrated the protection of children and their rights during four international days... 


In February, we recognised Red Hand Dayby featuring the many tools and guidance developed by the CAAFAG Task Force since 2020 in order to design and implement programmes for the prevention, release, and reintegration of CAAFAG.



In June, we marked World Day Against Child Labour… with a special event during the opening day of the 2023 Annual Meeting, featuring a panel discussion with youth and practitioners.

In August, we celebrated World Humanitarian Day… with a social media campaign spotlighting the voices of young leaders and youth-led organisations in the humanitarian space who participated as presenters or facilitators in the 2023 Annual Meeting and are working to protect children in their communities.  

In November, we recognised World Children’s Day… by launching a written and visual introduction to the concept of the Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action, which called upon humanitarian actors,  leadership, decision makers, and donors to fulfil their commitments to children and their protection.

We made commitments to protecting children in humanitarian action in two international forums...

In June at the Oslo Conference for Protecting Children in Armed Conflict, the Alliance announced its pledge to contribute to the enhanced protection of children affected by armed conflict, in line with the Alliance’s 2021-2025 Strategy, and covered three key tracks: Capacity and Knowledge Sharing, Advocacy, and Evidence Building. 

Read the full pledge to find out more about how to achieve these commitments by 2025. 

-->

In December at the Global Refugee Forum, the Alliance announced two joint-pledges to make a lasting impact on the lives of children affected by refugee and displacement situations, their families and communities. 

1) Supporting Integrated Approaches to Child Protection and Education in Refugee and Displacement Situations in collaboration with the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies.

2) Supporting Parents and Caregivers in Refugee and Displacement Situations in collaboration with the Global Initiative to Support Parents.

Read the full pledges to find out more about how to achieve these commitments by 2027. 

We made progress towards the Alliance Strategy overarching goal and strategic priorities... 

Over the course of 2023, the Alliance has been working closely with its members and partners to better define and socialise the concept of ‘The Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action’.

In early 2023, a draft paper and graphic were developed and used as the Background Paper for the 2023 Annual Meeting and held an interactive panel discussion on Unpacking the Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action on the opening day of the meeting. This session engaged youth from the #CovidUnder19 Advocacy Group who participated in the development of the meeting Background Paper and Graphic on the Centrality of Children and their Protection, as well as key leaders from the CPHA sector. The paper then received wide inputs from actors across a range of humanitarian sectors, donors, leadership, policy and programming specialists and was finalised and launched on World Children’s Day.

The Alliance’s Accountability to Children Initiative started mid-year. The Accountability Advisory Group of the Alliance was formed and brings together child protection, child participation, and accountability specialists. The group began convening for wider coordinated actions to progress the Alliance’s strategic objectives on accountability to children. The current major project of the Accountability to Children Initiative, led by the International Rescue Committee, will centre around a 2-year project designed to ensure that:

  • The humanitarian sector is accountable to children through inclusive approaches and participatory accountability mechanisms

  • Children and youth participate meaningfully in all program processes and have their opinions heard in order to inform humanitarian actions.

During the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Accountability to Children Advisory Group kicked off its collaboration with a special event on Accountability to Children, co-moderated by a youth activist. 

The 2023 Annual Meeting also saw the highest levels of child and youth participation in any annual meeting to date with 5 sessions with child and youth speakers and moderators including 8 children and numerous young people:

In March, the Alliance’s Localisation Initiative kicked off with the formation of an advisory group. The Advisory Group is co-chaired by Hurras Network and Street Child. Hurras Network is also now the third co-lead agency of the Alliance alongside UNICEF (as permanent co-lead) and World Vision (as current INGO co-lead). The advisory group is composed of child protection and localisation specialists and local and national organisations from Africa, South Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. 

The group is currently fundraising to deliver their work plan and progressing collective action within existing member resources to showcase case studies of local leadership for stronger action on child protection in humanitarian action. In addition, the group is also advising on the delivery of the Alliance’s Localisation Action Plan, which is designed to strengthen local leadership within the Alliance and the accessibility and diversity of Alliance network spaces and products. To progress these goals, the Alliance is currently in the process of  implementing a Membership Review to inform future actions, and strengthening participation of local and national members in Alliance Working Groups and Task Forces. 

In 2023, the Alliance also established Champions in five countries. The establishment of the champions is part of Alliance’s work in furthering localisation efforts and cascading its work in the five countries. This year, the champions have hit the ground running and already developed their action plans. Some other activities of note include convening with Alliance members in their countries, agreeing on activities that they will engage in in 2024, and creating awareness about the Alliance with local Child Protection coordination structures.

For more information about the Localisation Initiative, please contact: localisation@alliancecpha.org

In the end of 2023, the Alliance started forming a new Working Across Sectors Advisory Group to guide efforts across this priority area and strengthen the strategic partnerships being formed. The request to submit Expressions of Interest was launched in December and the new group will be launched during the first quarter of 2024.

Throughout the rest of 2023, there has been significant investment in partnership building with other sectors, namely Education, Health, Camp Coordination and Camp Management, a development of tools and resources to support these collaborations.

The CPMS Working Group also launched a new Working Across Sectors Starters Kit, which contains key resources to help you start working — or strengthen collaboration — with other sectors. It complements the website Working Across Sectors for Children’s Protection, where you can find the latest information on this topic.

Prevention is a strategic priority of the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action from 2021-2025. The Prevention Initiative is led by the Alliance, with significant contribution from Plan International, and a 30+ member inter-agency Advisory Group. The aim of the Initiative is to promote increased understanding and prioritisation of efforts to prevent harm to children in humanitarian settings. Significant gains have been made during 2023 on this priority. Some highlights of note are:

  • Piloting the Prevention Framework and incorporating lessons learned and feedback from pilot countries. Plan International has initiated the piloting of the framework in two countries: South Sudan and Niger

  • Virtual clinics were provided for agencies interested in rolling out prevention programs in their context.

  • The Prevention Advocacy Roadmap was developed, with support from the Advocacy Working Group. 

  • The Primary Prevention for CPHA Focal Points Learning Package was developed and rolled out. Twenty-four child protection practitioners representing different regions and organisations have been trained.

  • A new 'focus area' on Prevention has been initiated on the Alliance Community of Practice.

  • The Prevention Framework was presented at the International Conference on Child Protection in Africa.

As we approach the end of 2023, the Alliance would like to express our gratitude to our valued members and partners for your continued commitment and dedication to inter-agency work to ensure the protection of children in humanitarian action. We wish you a happy and restful end of the year and look forward to working with you in 2024! 

In 2023, we achieved a lot together. Of note are... 

In June, we held the Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action on the Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action: Research, Policy, and Practice: 

-->

In September, the Alliance launched our new E-Learning Hub on the Kaya Connect platform!

The Alliance E-Learning Hub is the new home of the Alliance’s learning and development resources. The Learners Area houses our self-paced learning content including the CPMS e-course in English, French and Spanish, and Arabic, with Polish and Ukrainian coming very soon. There is also a Facilitators Area, where individuals who train others can access and download Alliance learning packages.

Start exploring and sign up for free here!

In 2023, the number of General Members of the Alliance surpassed 244 members with 49 organisations joining the Alliance. From these new members, the majority are National or Local organisations, with 40 National or Local organisations, 7 international organisations, 1 regional organisation and 1 academic institution joining in 2023.

If your organisation is not a member, you can find more information about becoming a member here. Not sure if your organisation is a member? Find a complete list of all Alliance Member organisations here.

In 2023, the Child Protection in Humanitarian Action Community of Practice, in collaboration with the Child Protection Area of Responsibility, reached 2,450 members and counting!

Register for the CPHA Community of Practice here.

We celebrated the protection of children and their rights during four international days... 


In February, we recognised Red Hand Dayby featuring the many tools and guidance developed by the CAAFAG Task Force since 2020 in order to design and implement programmes for the prevention, release, and reintegration of CAAFAG.



In June, we marked World Day Against Child Labour… with a special event during the opening day of the 2023 Annual Meeting, featuring a panel discussion with youth and practitioners.

In August, we celebrated World Humanitarian Day… with a social media campaign spotlighting the voices of young leaders and youth-led organisations in the humanitarian space who participated as presenters or facilitators in the 2023 Annual Meeting and are working to protect children in their communities.  

In November, we recognised World Children’s Day… by launching a written and visual introduction to the concept of the Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action, which called upon humanitarian actors,  leadership, decision makers, and donors to fulfil their commitments to children and their protection.

We made commitments to protecting children in humanitarian action in two international forums...

In June at the Oslo Conference for Protecting Children in Armed Conflict, the Alliance announced its pledge to contribute to the enhanced protection of children affected by armed conflict, in line with the Alliance’s 2021-2025 Strategy, and covered three key tracks: Capacity and Knowledge Sharing, Advocacy, and Evidence Building. 

Read the full pledge to find out more about how to achieve these commitments by 2025. 

-->

In December at the Global Refugee Forum, the Alliance announced two joint-pledges to make a lasting impact on the lives of children affected by refugee and displacement situations, their families and communities. 

1) Supporting Integrated Approaches to Child Protection and Education in Refugee and Displacement Situations in collaboration with the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies.

2) Supporting Parents and Caregivers in Refugee and Displacement Situations in collaboration with the Global Initiative to Support Parents.

Read the full pledges to find out more about how to achieve these commitments by 2027. 

We made progress towards the Alliance Strategy overarching goal and strategic priorities... 

Over the course of 2023, the Alliance has been working closely with its members and partners to better define and socialise the concept of ‘The Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action’.

In early 2023, a draft paper and graphic were developed and used as the Background Paper for the 2023 Annual Meeting and held an interactive panel discussion on Unpacking the Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action on the opening day of the meeting. This session engaged youth from the #CovidUnder19 Advocacy Group who participated in the development of the meeting Background Paper and Graphic on the Centrality of Children and their Protection, as well as key leaders from the CPHA sector. The paper then received wide inputs from actors across a range of humanitarian sectors, donors, leadership, policy and programming specialists and was finalised and launched on World Children’s Day.

The Alliance’s Accountability to Children Initiative started mid-year. The Accountability Advisory Group of the Alliance was formed and brings together child protection, child participation, and accountability specialists. The group began convening for wider coordinated actions to progress the Alliance’s strategic objectives on accountability to children. The current major project of the Accountability to Children Initiative, led by the International Rescue Committee, will centre around a 2-year project designed to ensure that:

  • The humanitarian sector is accountable to children through inclusive approaches and participatory accountability mechanisms

  • Children and youth participate meaningfully in all program processes and have their opinions heard in order to inform humanitarian actions.

During the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Accountability to Children Advisory Group kicked off its collaboration with a special event on Accountability to Children, co-moderated by a youth activist. 

The 2023 Annual Meeting also saw the highest levels of child and youth participation in any annual meeting to date with 5 sessions with child and youth speakers and moderators including 8 children and numerous young people:

In March, the Alliance’s Localisation Initiative kicked off with the formation of an advisory group. The Advisory Group is co-chaired by Hurras Network and Street Child. Hurras Network is also now the third co-lead agency of the Alliance alongside UNICEF (as permanent co-lead) and World Vision (as current INGO co-lead). The advisory group is composed of child protection and localisation specialists and local and national organisations from Africa, South Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. 

The group is currently fundraising to deliver their work plan and progressing collective action within existing member resources to showcase case studies of local leadership for stronger action on child protection in humanitarian action. In addition, the group is also advising on the delivery of the Alliance’s Localisation Action Plan, which is designed to strengthen local leadership within the Alliance and the accessibility and diversity of Alliance network spaces and products. To progress these goals, the Alliance is currently in the process of  implementing a Membership Review to inform future actions, and strengthening participation of local and national members in Alliance Working Groups and Task Forces. 

In 2023, the Alliance also established Champions in five countries. The establishment of the champions is part of Alliance’s work in furthering localisation efforts and cascading its work in the five countries. This year, the champions have hit the ground running and already developed their action plans. Some other activities of note include convening with Alliance members in their countries, agreeing on activities that they will engage in in 2024, and creating awareness about the Alliance with local Child Protection coordination structures.

For more information about the Localisation Initiative, please contact: localisation@alliancecpha.org 

-->

In the end of 2023, the Alliance started forming a new Working Across Sectors Advisory Group to guide efforts across this priority area and strengthen the strategic partnerships being formed. The request to submit Expressions of Interest was launched in December and the new group will be launched during the first quarter of 2024.

Throughout the rest of 2023, there has been significant investment in partnership building with other sectors, namely Education, Health, Camp Coordination and Camp Management, a development of tools and resources to support these collaborations.

The CPMS Working Group also launched a new Working Across Sectors Starters Kit, which contains key resources to help you start working — or strengthen collaboration — with other sectors. It complements the website Working Across Sectors for Children’s Protection, where you can find the latest information on this topic.

Prevention is a strategic priority of the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action from 2021-2025. The Prevention Initiative is led by the Alliance, with significant contribution from Plan International, and a 30+ member inter-agency Advisory Group. The aim of the Initiative is to promote increased understanding and prioritisation of efforts to prevent harm to children in humanitarian settings. Significant gains have been made during 2023 on this priority. Some highlights of note are:

  • Piloting the Prevention Framework and incorporating lessons learned and feedback from pilot countries. Plan International has initiated the piloting of the framework in two countries: South Sudan and Niger

  • Virtual clinics were provided for agencies interested in rolling out prevention programs in their context.

  • The Prevention Advocacy Roadmap was developed, with support from the Advocacy Working Group. 

  • The Primary Prevention for CPHA Focal Points Learning Package was developed and rolled out. Twenty-four child protection practitioners representing different regions and organisations have been trained.

  • A new 'focus area' on Prevention has been initiated on the Alliance Community of Practice.

  • The Prevention Framework was presented at the International Conference on Child Protection in Africa.

Other Key Resources include:

In 2023, the Alliance was successful in including a greater focus on child protection risks induced by climate change in the ‘General Comment on 26 on children’s rights and the environment with a special focus on climate change’ through a joint submission prepared by the Advocacy Working Group.

The Alliance also held a webinar on the Impacts of the Climate Crisis on Child Protection in Humanitarian Contexts, where panellists explored evidence of the connections between climate change and risks to children’s protection and discussed the role that child protection actors and the wider humanitarian community can take to ensure the protection of children and well-being of children impacted by the climate crisis.

View this email in your browser November 2023 Edition

The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action ("The Alliance") envisions a world in which children are protected from abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence in humanitarian settings. Its mission is to support the efforts of humanitarian actors to achieve high-quality and effective child protection interventions in both refugee and non-refugee humanitarian contexts. To further this mission, the Alliance Strategy 2021-2025 advocates for the centrality  of children and their protection to be recognised and prioritised as essential and life-saving across the humanitarian system.

This November 2023 edition honours World Children's Day and summarises Alliance efforts to protect children and equip child protection actors in humanitarian settings.

On World Children’s Day 2023, the Alliance would like to acknowledge the central role of children, families and communities, who remain resilient in the face of atrocities and continue to protect children. We also acknowledge the incredible efforts of the Child Protection workforce who continue to serve children and their families, despite mounting demand and often being directly impacted by crises.  

As we reflect on the current global context, the Alliance calls upon the leadership of the humanitarian architecture, decision makers within humanitarian organisations, donors, and all humanitarian actors to fulfil their commitments to children and their protection as an integral part of the Centrality of Protection and central element of all humanitarian action. The concept of the centrality of children and their protection means considering the views, capacities, rights, needs, and vulnerabilities of children in all aspects of humanitarian response, within all sectoral interventions. By prioritising children's rights and participation, we can help to build a better future for all.

Explore actionable steps to transform the notion of the centrality of children and their protection into a reality in our introduction to the Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action below.

These girls and boys are in danger of losing out on years of learning, and are at higher risk of child marriage, human trafficking, child labour, and forced recruitment into armed groups.

To strengthen and scale up the delivery of holistic and protective education for children left furthest behind, Education Cannot Wait has announced a US$500,000 grant to the Alliance. This 36-month Acceleration Facility grant will strengthen partnership between child protection and education sector actors in emergencies and protracted crises – enabling us to better implement a whole-of-child approach that enhances protection, learning, and well-being for children in crisis contexts.

The Alliance has been working for many years with the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies, as well as other education-focused entities, to achieve more integrated ways of working across education and child protection actors operating in humanitarian settings. While education and child protection are critically important humanitarian sectors with a specific focus on children, they remain two of the most consistently underfunded sectors. With a stark mismatch between needs and available funding, innovative solutions and greater collaboration are crucial to reach every crisis-impacted child – including children with disabilities – with safe, holistic education. Find out more in the official press release Latest Alliance Training Materials UASC Training of Trainers 

The Unaccompanied and Separated Children Training of Trainers (UASC TOT) course has been designed to prepare participants to facilitate training on unaccompanied and separated children. This training will reinforce participants’ understanding of the specific needs of UASC, highlight good practice in working with UASC under a protection framework, and provide participants the opportunity to apply learning so they can roll out training on UASC within their own organisation and to other stakeholders. 

Find the Training Package here! Competency Development Guide

Following the release of the updated version of the CPHA Competency Framework and associated tools, the L&D WG is  happy to announce the finalised CPHA Competency Development Guide (CDG), closely linked to the framework. The CDG is to help practitioners locate relevant learning and development resources, based on the competencies highlighted in the CPHA Competency Framework. The guide will continue to be a live document as the L&D WG will strive to update it as new learning resources are made available. 

Find the Updated Framework and Guide Here! Working Group and Task Force Updates Interagency Toolkit: Preventing and Responding to Child Labour in Humanitarian Action - Training in Lebanon
In late-September and early-October, Plan International and the ILO facilitated a 6-day training on the MENA Child Labour toolkit in Lebanon, in collaboration with Global Child Labour Task Force and Plan International Lebanon.

On the first 4 days, we introduced the Inter-agency Child Labour Toolkit to mid-level CP practitioners from both international and national organisations, looking at the legal framework, coordination, advocacy, and programmatic interventions. Participants developed a set of recommendations based on the identified priorities to be shared with Ministries, UN agencies, and senior staff.

On the last 2 days, we validated the recommendations with Ministries, UN agencies, senior staff, and donors and we asked for commitment from key stakeholders to prioritise and work on ending child labour in Lebanon.

This workshop falls under the Child Labor - On Our Way - project, funded by Radiohjälpen, and with support from Plan International Sverige / SNO and Plan International UK / UKNO --> UPDATE: Global Training of Facilitators on Engaging Community Volunteers in Case Management Postponed
Due to ongoing insecurity in the region, the Alliance has postponed the Training of Facilitators that was to be held from 4-8 in Beirut, Lebanon. The new training dates and location will be shared as soon as possible, with hopes to hold the training before the end of March 2024.
 
The Alliance thanks all of those who applied to attend the training in Beirut. These applications are on file and will be considered for the training once it is rescheduled.
 
The Training of Facilitators on Engaging Community Volunteers in Case Management is a global, interagency training that will include one month of pre-course work, a five-day face-to-face training, and a requirement for dissemination at the country level. Through the training, CP practitioners will be equipped to implement case management programs that ethically engage community volunteers.

In close collaboration with IRC, the Accountability Advisory Group of the Alliance is looking forward to implementing a 2-year project to advance accountability to children in the humanitarian sector.

The purpose of this project will be to ensure the humanitarian sector is accountable to children through inclusive approaches and participatory accountability mechanisms, and that children and youth, including adolescent girls with intellectual disabilities, participate meaningfully in all program processes and have their opinions heard in order to inform humanitarian actions. 

For more information on the IRC “Inclusive and Accountable” project, please contact children@rescue.org.

Localisation

We are proud to share the exciting news that Hurras Network has been elected as the Alliance's new co-lead organisation, marking this a significant milestone as the third co-leading organisation of the Alliance and the first national-level organisation to hold the role. 

With a five-year tenure as a devoted core member, Hurras Network is committed to playing a pivotal role in the success of this significant step towards localisation!  Multi-Sector and Integrated Programming and Collaboration 
New Resource! Working effectively across sectors for children’s protection and well-being requires building relationships and collaboration to understand other sectors’ approaches, priorities, and language to work well together. The new Working Across Sectors Starter Kit contains key resources to help you start working — or strengthen collaboration — with other sectors. It complements the website Working Across Sectors for Children’s Protection, where you can find more information!  Prevention 

On October 31st, the Alliance, the Global CP AoR, and Street Child, hosted a session on Prevention of Harm to Children in Humanitarian Settings at the 2023 Global Protection Forum.

This session took a deep dive into the importance of primary prevention as a critical element of humanitarian action and discussed implementation strategies, challenges, and the key steps to understanding the root causes of harm and the development of comprehensive approaches to address them.  

Watch the Recording in English, French, Spanish, or Arabic here.  The Climate Crisis, Climate Justice, and Child Protection 

On November 9th, the Alliance held an online panel discussion to explore the existing evidence of the connections between climate change and risks to children’s protection. 

The panel included experts from a range of contexts and sectors, who discussed the role that child protection actors and the wider humanitarian community have to ensure the protection and well-being of children impacted by the climate crisis.

Dear Alliance and INEE members,


We are delighted to share the new Guidance Note on Supporting Integrated Child Protection and Education Programming in Humanitarian Action


This guidance note by the Alliance and INEE aims to promote integration and collaboration across the two humanitarian sectors of education and child protection).

It orients stakeholders in both sectors to principles, frameworks, opportunities, and resources for program integration in order to ensure efficient, targeted, and effective interventions that result in improved outcomes for children and young people.


This tool aims to support practitioners who respond to the needs of children in humanitarian crises, including relevant government line ministries, national civil society organizations, community and faith-based organizations, NGOs, UN agencies, other implementing organizations, and donors.


The guidance note is organized by programmatic areas, which align with the domains and standards from both the Alliance’s Child Protection Minimum Standards and the INEE Minimum Standards.  


This resource is a free and open source global good and should be contextualized for use in alignment with local needs, norms, and values. It is available in English, Arabic, French, Portuguese, and Spanish on both Alliance and INEE websites. We encourage you to share it widely! 


If you have questions or feedback about this resource, please contact the CPHA-EiE Coordinator at child-protection@inee.org or Rachel McKinney, Thematic Team Lead at rachel.mckinney@inee.org. We also encourage you to join the #child-protection channel in the INEE Community of Practice (free to join!).


Sincerely, 

The Alliance and the INEE Reference Group on Child Protection and Education in Humanitarian Programming

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2023 Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action. This year’s annual meeting hosted 950 participants from 386 unique organisations representing 147 countries and territories across the world. As well as two in-person Participation Hubs in Nigeria and Iraq as a pilot for enhanced local actor engagement. Participants expressed a high-level of satisfaction with the usefulness of the meeting through feedback collected during and after the Annual Meeting.


Throughout the meeting, many participants also expressed their interest in sharing their learning from the sessions with their teams and networks. As well as many interested colleagues around the world who couldn’t make it to the virtual meeting, or missed a session that interested them.    


With this in mind, we are very happy to share the recordings of the sessions on the Alliance YouTube Channel, with captions available in French, Spanish and Arabic to keep the learning and conversations going.


There are also great drawings from the sessions, available in English, that present the information in a colourful and visual way.  We also invite you to   explore the Infographic Gallery from the meeting on the CPHA Community of Practice.


In case you missed it, the meeting focused on the centrality of children and their protection through research, policy and practice. The meeting served as

an interactive space for practitioners to share their calls to action, lessons learned and successes in prioritising children and their protection across the humanitarian system.

Let’s stay well connected as we move forward together!


We encourage you to engage with the Alliance pages on FacebookLinkedIn,

Twitter, and YouTube and to join the CPHA Community of Practice. Become an Alliance member, or encourage someone else to join. Consider getting more involved in Alliance Working Groups, Task Forces and Initiatives. And promote engagement with the Alliance among your colleagues and networks. 


Wishing colleagues a wonderful summer,

Hani Mansourian and Camilla Jones
Alliance Coordinators

Dear Alliance and INEE friends, members, and colleagues, 

During 2021 and 2022, the Alliance and the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE), commissioned Proteknôn Foundation for Innovation and Learning to conduct participatory research across three humanitarian settings—Lebanon, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Colombia—to explore the impact of COVID-19 school closures on child protection and educational inequalities.

Following the research, and to respond to the needs identified, the Alliance and INEE worked with research partners to conduct a series of round tables to provide an opportunity to present the findings and recommendations from the research. Round table participants—children and young people from humanitarian settings, humanitarian actors from Education, Child Protection and Health sectors, and global donors— then worked to develop child-centred actions for preparedness, response, and recovery in cases of infectious disease outbreak.  

Three publications and a video were produced as part of this project. Access them on this special webpage, or via the individual links below, to learn how this research evolved from evidence to action, and how it centred children’s voices in the project. The webpage is available in English, French, Spanish and Arabic

Research Findings on the Impact of COVID-19 School Closures

This research draws from qualitative data gathered in humanitarian contexts in three countries and continents to understand how children have experienced the impact of COVID-19 school closures on their protection, well-being, and education inequalities.

-->

Children’s Expressions on How they Experienced School Closures

Throughout this research project, we captured children's experiences and perspectives through a variety of mediums in order to capture their experiences during COVID-19 related school closures and re-openings.

-->

From Evidence to Action: A Series of Global Round Tables

In the last quarter of 2022 and early 2023, we conducted a series of Round Tables that provided an opportunity to present the research findings and recommendations. Participants then worked to develop actions to promote child-centred infectious disease outbreak preparedness, response, and recovery.

Round Table 1: Children and Young People 
Round Table 2: Global: Multi-sector Humanitarian Actors (Child Protection, Education, Health)
Round Table 3: Donors  -->

Video: How Children were Impacted by COVID-19 School Closures and How We Can Do Better

During the Round Table with Children and Young People, we asked the research participants to share about their experience during school closures related to COVID-19, as well as ‘what are your key messages for leaders and decision-makers’?

Hear directly from children and young people by watching this video, available in English with captions in Arabic, Swahili and Spanish.

Registration OPEN for the 2023 Annual Meeting on Child Protection in Humanitarian Action

12 to 15 June 2023 – Over virtual platform

The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (the Alliance) is organising the 2023 Annual Meeting on Child Protection in Humanitarian Action over a virtual platform on the 12th - 15th of June 2023. This includes four days dedicated to the theme of the meeting, Children and their Protection at the Centre of Humanitarian Action: Research, Policy and Practice.

Protecting children from abuse, exploitation, neglect and violence is everyone's responsibility. While we know how to protect children and much has been done, this must be a collective effort. It is more critical than ever that all actors and sectors work together to protect children, including local actors, other sectors, decision-makers and donors. As part of the Alliance work on its ambitious strategy (2021-2025), we advocate with all humanitarian actors to prioritise children and put their protection at the centre of humanitarian efforts. 

The Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action enables all stakeholders and duty-bearers to come together once per year to discuss lessons and evidence, network, and collectively advocate for real change. We need you: your experience, insights and commitment. We invite you to share this registration with your colleagues and your networks, as no individual sector alone can achieve this goal. 

Interpretation will be available for select sessions during the event depending on the needs identified through registration.

During the 2023 Annual Meeting, we will invite participants to engage in the Infographic Gallery on the CPHA Community of Practice. If you are not already part of this online community, please register BEFORE the meeting! 

Please register here: https://changemakersforchildren.community/CPHA-community.

This edition summarizes Alliance efforts to protect children and equip child protection actors in humanitarian settings in 2022. 

Dear Alliance friends, members and colleagues, 

Welcome to 2023! We hope you had a happy and restful end of the year with your loved ones. We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with all of you in this new year. 

Looking forward to 2023, the Alliance is starting to organise the 2023 Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action! Make sure you save the date for the Annual Meeting on the week of 12th June 2023 and join us! 

 Before registration opens, we need to decide on the theme! In case you missed it, we invite you to share with us what theme you would like to see featured at the Annual Meeting.  --> Take the Survey by 5 January *This survey will take you no more than five minutes to complete and is available in English, French, Spanish and Arabic. As 2022 has now come to a close, the Alliance would also like to extend a huge thank you to all of our members and partners for your continued commitment and dedication to inter-agency work to ensure the protection of children in humanitarian action.
In 2022, we achieved a lot together. Of note are...  We held the 2022 Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action on Promoting the Centrality of Children and their Protection in Humanitarian Action through Accountability, Localisation and Working Across Sectors:

We celebrated World Children’s Day... by creating a video advocating for the Centrality of Children and Child Protection and sharing the message of Inclusion, for Every Child. 

We celebrated World Humanitarian Day... by publishing four Blog Posts from AJEDI-Ka, BIFRED, Swatantrata Abhiyan Nepal and Voice of Children sharing their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Child Protection in Humanitarian Action Community of Practice in collaboration with the Child Protection Area of Responsibility has reached 1,500 members and counting!   Register for the CPHA Community of Practice here. In 2022,  the number of General Members of the Alliance surpassed 212 members with 40 organisations joining the Alliance. From these new members, the majority are National or Local organisations, with 33 National or Local organisations, six international organisations and one academic institution joining in 2022.
If your organisation is not a member, you can find more information about becoming a member here. We held the first ever Internal Alliance Annual Meeting in October 2022 with the Alliance Secretariat, Steering Committee and Working Group and Task Force Co-leads in Budapest, Hungary! This week-long meeting brought Alliance colleagues together, many meeting one another for the first time in person, to hold discussions, plan ahead, collaborate and work together to bring the work of the Alliance and our Strategy forward!

Check out some of the highlights below:  The Alliance Strategy
The Alliance held five, 3-hour interactive online workshops with child protection practitioners, humanitarian actors and stakeholders on each Strategic Priority outlined in The Alliance Strategy (2021-2025)  to further explore the objectives and actions to bring these objectives forward. Please find some updates on each priority area below: 
  Accountability to Children
During the online workshop on Accountability, a resource mapping was presented and participants fed into it. This resource mapping will be used and updated by individuals that come together to develop and implement the Alliance’s strategic plan on accountability from 2023. 

On behalf of the Alliance, the Child Protection Minimum Standards Working Group will be coordinating with the Humanitarian Standards Partnership to contribute to the revision of the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS). This process started in 2022 through an initial online workshop with the Steering Committee for the CHS. The standard will be revised to simplify it, make it accessible to a range of actors including actors across the humanitarian-development nexus and to take into consideration the major changes to humanitarian aid programming, policy and funding since the original draft in 2014.  
 
In July-August 2022 the Alliance invited its members to participate in a self-assessment against the Child Protection Minimum Standards. This saw members respond to a survey that gauged their organisational commitment to and implementation of the minimum standards. Organisations were then provided with support by the CPMS Working Group co-leads to implement key actions to strengthen their uptake of the minimum standards across all of their work. This builds upon the former ‘institutionalisation’ process of the Alliance for the CPMS. The lessons from this pilot will be reviewed to develop the approach for future initiatives. 

In October 2022, the Alliance hosted an event on Access for Protection through Participation alongside Save the Children, and the GBV and CP Areas of Responsibility as part of the 2022 Global Protection Forum. It was one of the top events of the Forum with over 2,150 registrations and over 350 participants from donors, governments, UN agencies and civil society joining on the day. The event was co-hosted by youth moderator Divina Maloum, co-founder of Children 4 Peace in Cameroon and the Panel was joined by two young people from the Philippines who shared how children’s participation in research on access to protection services can have significant impacts for children’s protectionThe recording of the event can be found here.  

During the online workshop on Accountability, a resource mapping was presented and participants fed into it. This resource mapping will be used and updated by individuals that come together to develop and implement the Alliance’s strategic plan on accountability from 2023. 
  Localisation
The Alliance has developed a Localisation Action Plan to inform fundraising and action around the implementation of two of the Alliance’s seven strategic objectives on localisation: 
  • INCREASE inclusion and diversity within The Alliance, by facilitating membership processes and expanding opportunities for leadership, influence, and engagement for community, local, and national actors.
  • IMPROVE the accessibility and diversity of Alliance products, platforms, and events to reach broader and more diverse audiences.
The action plan focuses on efforts to understand, strengthen and review member engagement and knowledge management processes that impact on the engagement, influence and leadership of local actors within the Alliance. 

In relation to our strategic objective: 
  • PROMOTE the importance of and facilitate opportunities for direct and flexible funding for community, local, and national child protection organisations. 
The Alliance inputted into USAID’s draft Policy for the Localization of Humanitarian Assistance (forthcoming). The policy outlines USAID’s phased approach to advancing the localization of humanitarian assistance over the next five years, and applies to the agency’s humanitarian response and early recovery, risk reduction, and resilience efforts. The policy aims to establish a common vision for localization across USAID’s humanitarian work, with coherence across messaging, policies, guidance, and operations.      Multi-Sector Integrated Programming and Collaboration


In 2020 and 2021, the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, in collaboration with the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies, and led by Proteknôn Foundation for Innovation and Learning, conducted participatory research across three diverse humanitarian settings - Lebanon, Democratic Republic of Congo and Colombia - to explore the impact of COVID-19 school closures on children’s protection, wellbeing and educational inequalities (research reports and advocacy briefs can be accessed here). 

To respond to these findings, the Alliance and partners are conducting a series of Round Table discussions that aim to centre the voices of children and youth during outbreak-related school closures and reopenings. In October 2022, the first Round Table was held with children and young people from across humanitarian settings where they developed recommendations for the global humanitarian community based upon their lived experiences. In November 2022, the second Round Table included four distinct events with multi-sector humanitarian actors engaged in coordination, programming, advocacy and policy, from the child protection, health and education sectors, and aimed to operationalise the recommendations from children and young people. The third and final Round Table will be held with humanitarian donors at the end of January 2023 to explore how donors can play a role in more responsible and inclusive decision making on school closures in future infectious disease outbreaks.

The CPHA-EiE Joint Initiative launched a Guidance Note on Supporting Integrated Child Protection and Education Programming in Humanitarian Action, with significant contributions and guidance provided by the CPHA-EIE Advisory Group. Through collaboration, both sectors aim to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goal 4 to provide/ensure “inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030. 

In October 2022, the Alliance, alongside the Global Child Protection Area of Responsibility, the Global Food Security Cluster and Plan International, organized a global online event to spotlight how food security impacts children and their protection in humanitarian contexts and recommendations for urgent collaborative action. Find the recommendations in English, French, Spanish and Arabic, the recording of the event, and the consolidated presentation, which includes a summary of the evidence review findings on linkages between child protection and food security, here.  


Prevention


The Alliance launched the first video of the Prevention Video Series - The Three Levels of Prevention (AR, EN, ES, FR) with more videos in this series coming soon! 

Some more resources and initiatives of note from 2022 are... 

  Looking Ahead: Climate Crisis, Climate Justice and Child Protection
On October 10th, the Alliance Co-Coordinator, Hani Mansourian, participated in a panel discussion as part of an event on “The climate crisis: a threat multiplier for violence against children”  co-organized by the Permanent Missions of the European Union, the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. The purpose of the event was to draw attention to the increased risks of violence against children in the context of the current climate crisis and the most effective way to respond and advocate for an urgent action to address its impact on violence and prevent further expansion.

Hani also shed an important light on the increasingly devastating impact the climate crisis is having on children in humanitarian situations and reflected on the role of humanitarian actors to minimise the impact of such climate induced disasters on children. He also called for the increased investment in forecast and early warning information for pre-financed mechanisms as they have the  potential to advance child sensitive, protective, and informed Anticipatory Action approaches and ensure that harmful outcomes to children, whether it be separation from caregivers or recruitment into armed groups,  are prevented. 

The Advocacy Working Group of the Alliance have formed a sub-group, led by TDH, to work on the climate crisis and child protection in humanitarian action advocacy. Priority activities include developing a set of key messages on the linkages between child protection in humanitarian action and the climate crisis, which can be used and adapted by child protection practitioners at all levels. The group is currently conducting a literature review of resources which explore links between child protection and the climate crisis to inform these messages. The group will also work on a formal submission  to the recently published draft the UN CRC General Comment General Comment 26 on Children’s Rights and the Environment with a Special Focus on Climate Change.

The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action ("The Alliance") envisions a world in which children are protected from abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence in humanitarian settings. Its mission is to support the efforts of humanitarian actors to achieve high-quality and effective child protection interventions in both refugee and non-refugee humanitarian contexts. To further this mission, the Alliance Strategy 2021-2025 advocates for the centrality  of children and their protection to be recognised and prioritised as essential and life-saving across the humanitarian system.

This November 2022 edition summarizes Alliance efforts to advocate for the centrality of children and their protection and equip child protection and other sector actors in humanitarian settings.

World Children's Day - November 20th 2022    On this World Children’s Day, the Alliance and partners created a short video advocating for the INCLUSION of children of all ages, genders, abilities, and other diversity factors throughout the programme cycle by promoting the centrality of children and child protection as essential and life saving across the humanitarian system.

From climate change, education and mental health, to ending racism and discrimination, children and young people have the right to be heard and for their views to be given due weight in decisions that affect their lives, well-being, dignity, and protection.

We invite you to share this video far and wide across your networks as no individual sector can achieve this alone! 

Together, we can strive for #InclusionForEveryChild. Mini-Guides: Child Protection in Outbreaks Survey

The READY Initiative funded consultations for the revision of the Alliance's 2018 Guidance Note: Protection of Children During Infectious Disease Outbreaks. In 2021, we sought feedback on the content and structure of the existing guidance. During consultations global, regional, and local actors expressed a strong preference for short, practical, field-oriented guidance on priority topics related to the protection of children in outbreaks and four new Mini-Guides were produced.

READY has funding to build on the existing series to develop and translate two additional Mini-Guides. We are therefore seeking further feedback from a variety of actors to determine which topics to prioritize.

Help us by sharing your inputs here.

Alliance Strategy Updates  Capacity Sharing among Local and International Actors to Deliver Humanitarian Action

The Operational Policy and Advocacy Group (OPAG) has tasked the IASC Localisation Task Force to develop an understanding of capacity sharing and what kind of measure/standard/approach could help strengthen that part of engagement of international actors with local actors. 

In order to start off the conversation, NEAR is organizing a broad consultation process to gather feedback, comments and proposed changes, inviting Global South actors to be as propositional as possible.

On October 26th, the Alliance hosted an event on Access for Protection through Participation alongside Save the Children, and the GBV and CP Areas of Responsibility as part of the 2022 Global Protection Forum.

It was one of the top events of the Forum with over 2,150 registrations and over 350 participants from donors, governments, UN agencies and civil society joining on the day. The event was co-hosted by youth moderator Divina Maloum, co-founder of Children 4 Peace in Cameroon and the Panel was joined by two young people from the Philippines who shared how children’s participation in research on access to protection services can have significant impacts for children’s protection. 

The recording of the event can be found here.   --> --> Latest Webinar: An Introduction to Prevention With the CPMS

Together, we can strive for Inclusion For Every Child! 

World Children’s Day is celebrated each year on the 20th of November to promote improving children's welfare and mark the anniversary of the date that the UN General Assembly adopted both the Declaration of the Rights of the Child  and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

On this World Children’s Day, the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action and partners created a short video advocating for the INCLUSION of children of all ages, genders, abilities, and other diversity factors throughout the programme cycle by promoting the centrality of children and child protection as essential and life saving across the humanitarian system.

From climate change, education and mental health, to ending racism and discrimination, children and young people have the right to be heard and for their views to be given due weight in decisions that affect their lives, well-being, dignity, and protection.
