Responding to the Impact of Reduced Funding for CPHA Programming

In times of crises, ensuring the continuity and impact of child protection programming is essential. The Alliance has developed key resources to support advocacy efforts and case management in the face of funding constraints and sudden program changes.

Survey on Funding Cuts – Your Input Matters
We have launched an anonymous survey to gather insights from child protection practitioners on how foreign assistance funding cuts are impacting children and their protection. Your feedback is essential in helping us assess these impacts and shape our collective advocacy efforts. The findings will be shared on the Alliance webpage and used to adapt our focus in support of your work, and to advocate for stronger support for children and practitioners. 

We kindly ask you to take a few minutes to complete the survey, available in English and Spanish, by 15 April and share it widely within your networks.
