2025 Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action

From the 3rd to the 5th of June, 841 participants from across the globe—including practitioners, donors, academics, policymakers, youth and child advocates, and community leaders—came together for the 2025 Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, hosted by the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action.

Spanning 18 sessions, the meeting explored how the child protection sector is adapting and responding in a rapidly changing humanitarian landscape. The focus was clear: How to strengthen local and national systems and actions, including local ownership and leadership of accountable child protection actions, how to strengthen equitable partnerships for child protection, and how to continue to centre children’s rights and their right to protection - especially in the face of growing political, financial, and operational pressures.

A position paper on ground-up approaches to strengthening local and national child protection systems and actors is currently being developed building on the meeting Background Paper and learning from the meeting sessions.
