This programme aims to empower mid-level child protection professionals from international and national NGOs, as well as governments, to strengthen their child protection response capabilities in both chronic crises and emergency contexts.
The programme combines distance learning and simulation training to ensure maximum impact. Blending theory and hands-on learning, participants have the opportunity to engage with child protection experts and colleagues in the sector as well as take part in a 3-day simulation child protection response.
Broad topics covered in this extensive programme include child protection risks, principles, strategies, quality response and cross-cutting themes. The programme format, contextualisation and diverse pool of expert facilitators make the programme a truly 360° learning experience.
Each stage of learning is monitored in-line with a transparent assessment framework. There are several graded tasks including: a reflective report, group presentation, capacity strengthening task and case study documentation.
Piloted in South East and East Asia, the programme is now running in the following regions: Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Northern Africa (in Arabic) and East and Southern Africa. The programme will soon be launched in West and Central Africa (in French).
