Help Shape the Future of Child Protection Systems Strengthening in Humanitarian Action

How can humanitarian responses strengthen child protection systems rather than unintentionally creating parallel or fragmented approaches?

The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action is seeking your insights to help answer this question through a new Pulse Survey on Child Protection Systems Strengthening in Humanitarian Action.

Whether or not you consider yourself a "systems strengthening" specialist, we want to hear from you.

If your work involves child protection in humanitarian settings—whether through case management, referrals, prevention, coordination, community engagement, workforce support, information management, alternative care, or other child protection activities—your experience is invaluable. Every perspective helps us better understand what works in practice, what challenges practitioners face, and where future guidance is most needed.

Your responses will directly inform the development of a practical technical note designed to help humanitarian actors strengthen child protection systems while continuing to deliver essential services during crises.

The survey:
⏱ Takes approximately 30 minutes to complete
🌍 Is available in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic 
📅 Closes on Wednesday, 5 August

We encourage practitioners from government, national and local organisations, community-based organisations, refugee-led, women-led and youth-led organisations, faith-based organisations, international NGOs, UN agencies, academia, and technical experts to participate.

Please also consider sharing the survey with colleagues and partners in your networks. The more diverse the experiences represented, the stronger and more practical the final guidance will be.

Thank you for contributing your expertise and helping shape practical guidance for child protection in humanitarian action!
