Community-Based Child Protection Program for Conflict-Affected Children and Caregivers

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:

  1. Capacity-building training on child protection issues.
  2. Awareness campaigns on the dangers of war remnants.
  3. Psychosocial support sessions.
  4. Structured and sustainable parenting programs.
  5. Case management interventions.
  6. 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.
