Child Protection in Humanitarian Action Learning and Development Roadmap

The Alliance

The Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPHA) Learning and Development (L&D) Roadmap provides a near-term strategy (through 2026) to strengthen practitioner capacity, safeguard institutional knowledge, and ensurethe delivery of quality child protection services in an era of shrinking resources and rising global needs.

The roadmap is grounded in recent evidence, including:

  • Global funding cuts that have reduced CP budgets—over half of surveyed organisations report losses of more than 40%—with disproportionate impacts on local actors and technical staffing.
  • Escalating humanitarian crises, compounded by climate change, political instability, and weakening multilateral mechanisms.
  • Clear practitioner-identified learning gaps in priority areas such as Child Protection System Strengthening, Advocacy, Case Management, and MHPSS.

Beyond 2026, the L&D Working Group aims to advance a holistic, sustainable, and inclusive approach to Learning and Development in CPHA.
