Our Mission
The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action ("The Alliance") envisions a world in which children are protected from abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence in humanitarian settings. Its mission is to support the efforts of humanitarian actors to achieve high-quality and effective child protection interventions in both refugee and non-refugee humanitarian contexts.
As a global network of operational agencies, academic institutions, policymakers, donors and practitioners, the Alliance facilitates inter-agency technical collaboration on child protection in all humanitarian contexts. It sets standards and produces technical guidance for use by the various stakeholders. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) currently co-leads the Alliance with World Vision and Hurras Network.
Please note, while we are not accountable for the actions of members, we take safeguarding concerns seriously. If you have concerns about the conduct of a representative from one of our members, you may report it to membership@alliancecpha.org.

The Alliance is led by a tripartite co-leadership structure: Local/National NGO, International NGO, and UN Agency. Currently the Alliance co-leadership comprises UNICEF, World Vision, and Hurras Network. The INGO and NNGO co-leads rotate every three years. The UN and INGO co-leads are responsible to resource and staff the director and deputy director of the Secretariat, in accordance with the Executive Committee and Steering Committee decisions.
Steering Committee (SC):
The purpose of the Steering Committee (SC) is to set the strategic direction of the Alliance and to ensure that it is managed effectively. The SC has primary authority and responsibility on matters of strategic significance, policy, and of governance issues of importance to the functioning of the Alliance. The SC comprises 20 voting members, plus one non-voting seat for the Global Child Protection Area of Responsibility. Among the membership, there is representation from local/national/regional NGOs/CBOs, and international organisations (NGOs/UN). General members can apply to be a Steering Committee member after twe years of active contribution to the Alliance work (see governance document for more details).
Executive Committee (ExCom):
The Executive Committee (ExCom) is delegated by the Steering Committee to oversee the implementation of the Alliance strategy and work plan. The ExCom guides and supports the Director and Deputy Director to implement SC decisions and the day-to-day operations of the Alliance. The ExCom is composed of five representatives of the SC; they are the three co-lead agencies’ representatives plus two members elected by the SC. Currently the ExCom of the Alliance comprises Hurras Network, BIFERD, World Vision, Save the Children and UNICEF. Members of the ExCom rotate every three years.
