Global Child Protection Framework and
Standards
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
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.
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
Additional considerations
• Build back better
• Delayed impact
• Collaboration with / mainstreaming through other sectors
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
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.
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
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
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
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
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
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
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
Coordinator works with government, civil society, humanitarian community to:
1. Identify existing elements of CP system
2. Analyse how they have been affected by emergency
3. Identify weak areas
4. Identify & create opportunities to strengthen 1 & 3
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
5. Link with other sectors to maximise reach of CP system coverage
6. Advocate for long-term view and funding for CP
7. Advocate and plan for humanitarian community's exit strategy

Key Global Standards for Child Protection in Emergencies
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
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
CPIE Cluster Coordinator Training 2010
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
