Podcast | Protected! Podcast Ep 2: Transitioning to a Remote Adolescent Programme in Lebanon

Have you ever wondered what happens when child protection actors have zero face-to-face access to the children and families they support?

Plan International Lebanon faced that exact problem in March 2020, when the government imposed a curfew and state of emergency across the country. Elissa Alhassrouny, a child protection specialist with Plan International Lebanon, tells Hani Mansourian how their team moved to remote child protection programming and the steps involved in that process.
