The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action is organising the 2025 Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action on Zoom from the 3rd - 5th of June 2025. This includes 3 days dedicated to the theme of the meeting, “Protection of Children from the Ground Up - Enhancing Localised Approaches in Conflict and Crises”.
This year's theme emphasises locally-led child protection prevention and response actions that are informed and driven by local actors including community, local and national government and organisations, as well as communities and children themselves. It highlights the importance of strengthening local systems and actors, and context-relevant and community-owned child protection including for quality and accountable actions. The meeting will also situate this theme in the context of the current humanitarian funding and coordination reset.
The meeting will be held in English with translated captions available in Arabic, French, Spanish, and a selection of other languages to ensure accessibility for all participants. There will also be a dedicated session and networking opportunity in both Spanish and French during the meeting at favourable times for participants in those regions.

To give participants a deeper understanding of the meeting theme, we are pleased to share the Background Paper for the 2025 Annual Meeting.
This paper provides valuable insights and context to guide discussions and priorities of the meeting. It begins with briefly introducing the focus of this year’s theme, providing key definitions and concepts, and defining three focus areas. It then explores the three areas of focus in more depth - outlining challenges, opportunities and enabling factors, and case studies. Each section ends with questions for further exploration and discussion.
