Guidance Note for Reviewing Child Protection in Emergencies Proposals (CPIE Donor Guidelines)

These notes have been developed by the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (the Alliance) in collaboration with the Child Protection Area of Responsibility (CP AoR) as a practical aid for assessing standalone Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) proposals and multi-sector proposals with CPiE components. The guidance is designed to complement the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPMS).

Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) is defined as the prevention of and response to abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence against children in humanitarian settings. When assessing CPiE proposals, both prevention and response activities should be considered. Interventions should adhere to the four CPMS key principles of survival and development, non-discrimination, child participation, and the best interests of the child.
