Mission de la Prévention
L'objectif de l'initiative pour la prévention de l'Alliance est de s'assurer que la prévention soit comprise et priorisée comme un élément crucial de la protection de l'enfance dans l'action humanitaire. Il est nécessaire d'investir davantage dans la prévention des dommages causés aux enfants, en parallèle aux actions réactives, pour que les humanitaires puissent remplir leur devoir éthique de prévenir les préjudices lorsque cela est possible, de défendre l'intérêt supérieur et les droits de l'enfant et d'être potentiellement plus rentables dans leur programmation.
Objectifs
La prévention est une priorité stratégique pour Alliance pendant la période 2021-2025. Durant cette période, l'Initiative pour la prévention aura comme objectifs de :
- Générer des données sur la prévention comme intervention permettant de réduire les coûts et de sauver des vies dans la protection des enfants.
- Développer les connaissances, les capacités et la compréhension des stratégies et des approches de prévention au sein du secteur de la protection de l'enfance.
- Travailler avec d'autres secteurs à l'intégration de stratégies et d'approches de prévention dans la protection de l'enfance.

Ressources additionnelles pour appuyer l'approche basée sur les forces dans les stratégies et les mesures de prévention
Les approches de prévention visent à améliorer le bien-être des enfants dans les contextes humanitaires, et pas uniquement à réduire les risques. Ces ressources de base aideront les praticiens à développer une solide compréhension conceptuelle pour orienter la programmation ainsi que des outils participatifs pour comprendre le bien-être de l'enfant dans son contexte.
