To better understand the experiences of local actors who have engaged with the international humanitarian response, the Care and Protection of Children (CPC) Learning Network and the Child Protection Area of Responsibility (CP AoR) documented initiatives aiming to increase engagement of national organisations in child protection coordination mechanisms across Nigeria, Kenya, and Malawi.

To celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child (October 11), we are inviting you to join the GBV AoR Community of Practice and special guests the Whole of Syria GBV AoR for a week dedicated to learning and discussing GBV and Adolescent Girls.
