  2. CBCPOverview • 1) Operational areas of War Child • 2) Working definition of CP • 3) The Community Based approach to CP (CBCP) in SL • 4) CBCP and systems strengthening (Uganda vs SL) • 5) Recommendations

  3. CBCP Operational Areas Sub-Sahara: Sierra Leone, Uganda, DRC, N Sudan, RS Sudan, Burundi. Rest: Colombia, Afghanistan, IoPt, Lebanon, Sri Lanka

  4. CBCP Working definition • Definition of CP = protection against physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect & exploitation. • In SL the work includes attention for other child rights abuses (right to education, right to be heard) • In all cases: CP = prevention and response • Community Based = community owned, facilitated – not implemented by WCH, work with existing structures, action plans (including livelihoods) • Overarching: advocacy

  5. CBCP CB approach to CP • In Sierra Leone (system building at different levels): • start with child and direct circle around the child – awareness and capacity building, child participation • Strengthen what already exits, not put in place something new – need to know what is there and how it works • link informal with formal system - advocating for taking responsibility • Intensive intervention for 2 years – exit planned from entry • community driven and owned = sustainable + prevention

  6. CBCP and systems strengthening Sierra Leone Child participation in meetings, ideas heard; drop in aggression; mutual respect CP platform, advocacy integrated, community involvement in livelihood building sustainability, community cohesion + education Uganda Too early to say but: Taking responsibility is important. Prevent the help/aid trap (created by stay in camps). People develop the knowledge and power to do something Dilemma: structures in emergency setting are weak + need to deliver results

  7. CBCP Recommendations Support conditions for community based protection to work – advocacy at all levels Stimulate ownership – but how? Many questions, any answers?
