This exciting event marks the launch of the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action’s 2021-2025 Strategic Plan -  a bold, new and ambitious strategy that reflects the voices of hundreds of child protection practitioners, Alliance members, partners, and donors.

The strategy is built around four interconnected strategic priorities which require collective action, collaboration, and commitment across the humanitarian system:  Accountability to children, Localisation - transforming how child protection works in humanitarian action, Multi-sector and integrated programming and collaboration, and Prevention.

Through this Strategy, the Alliance is issuing a clarion call:

Children and their protection must lie at the heart of each humanitarian action.

Everyone has a role to play in the protection of children.

Join us to find out how!

Please feel free to share widely with your colleagues, peers, partners, and teams.
