Overview: 

This interactive session will provide space to share learnings and promote exchange from projects and research being undertaken by the Global GBV and CP AoR, the Alliance for Children Protection in Humanitarian Action, and Save the Children, in partnership with communities and child / adolescent organisations. It will also be a chance to present research findings and recommendations for humanitarian involvement in community negotiations since the 2021 Global Protection Forum and to gather insights from an expert audience.

A set of recommendations will be developed from the panel presentations and discussion based upon practical examples and the lived experience of young people in humanitarian settings on how to enhance access to protection through supporting meaningful participation processes, including in negotiations for access. These will seek to inform how humanitarians can work and cooperate more effectively with crisis affected populations, particularly children and adolescents.

Our Partners: 

This event is being supported by the Swiss Development Cooperation. It will be co-moderated by Divina Maloum, a young activist from Cameroon, who was the winner of the 2019 Children’s Peace Prize.
