Presentation Transcript

  1. Global Child Protection Framework and Standards

  2. Child Protection in emergencies Emergencies undermine the protection of children because they: • Present new risks and threats • Exacerbate existing risks • Undermine protection mechanisms Increasingly, a pre-crisis baseline & coordination structure exist.

  3. Additional considerations • Build back better • Delayed impact • Collaboration with / mainstreaming through other sectors

  4. Mainstreaming Responsibility to ensure that humanitarian assistance does not unintentionally create new protection concerns – or exacerbate existing risks. Many eyes make the tasks easier. It is everyone’s responsibility to protect children.

  5. Evolution of CPiE • Programming focused on response to CP violations • Now, recognition of importance and possibility to build protective environment in emergencies • Violations as ‘entry points’ to working on elements of the protective environment • Emergencies are opportunities to strengthen or build systems, as well as build capacity, commitment of national partners

  6. Systems-building in an emergency Reframes child protection work by • looking more broadly at deficits in protection available to all children • addressing structural or root causes for these gaps in prevention and response • identifying existing protective mechanisms in government and community

  7. Impacts of shift • how to do assessment • how to plan and implement interventions • type, volume and duration of funding • role of advocacy in humanitarian situations • orientation of staff and training offered • approaches to post-emergency work • direction of research in sector

  8. Coordinator works with government, civil society, humanitarian community to: • Identify existing elements of CP system • Analyse how they have been affected by emergency • Identify weak areas • Identify & create opportunities to strengthen 1 & 3

  9. Link with other sectors to maximise reach of CP system coverage • Advocate for long-term view and funding for CP • Advocate and plan for humanitarian community's exit strategy

  10. Key Global Standards for Child Protection in Emergencies

  11. Contextualising Global Standards • Need: • Solid knowledge of standards and why they have been created as is • Excellent analysis of the current situation for children • All the coordination skills that you are practising this week

  12. Issues to bear in mind • It can be a rapport-building exercise with the government • HQ can act as a resource • Other partners might not have the time (or inclination) to undertake this task • Use your consensus-building skills to the maximum, balanced with principled leadership • Start with most egregious problems • Don’t let the process get bogged down
