Project Start Date: July 13, 2017
Community-Based Child Protection Program for Conflict-Affected Children and Caregivers
The project aimed to provide protection interventions for 2,500 conflict-affected children and support for their caregivers. DAR implemented four phases from 2017 to 2020, each beginning with capacity-building exercises for a multidisciplinary work team at child protection centers. This included psychosocial support, case management, awareness activities, mobile outreach, PSIA activities, and administrative roles.
The local team was supervised by a technical and administrative team from the organization’s principal office, including a psychosocial support specialist, protection technician, and project manager. Activities were conducted across six main areas:
- Capacity-building training on child protection issues.
- Awareness campaigns on the dangers of war remnants.
- Psychosocial support sessions.
- Structured and sustainable parenting programs.
- Case management interventions.
- PSIA awareness activities.
Key Achievements:
- Delivered systematic and sustainable child protection services.
- Provided referral and reunification services for over 2,500 children.
- Established child protection networks that ensured community oversight and protection activities.
- Enhanced the organization’s reputation for impactful child protection work, leaving a positive legacy in the communities served.
