A child’s care status impacts his or her health, developmental outcomes and general well-being, both during childhood and later in life. Children outside of a family setting are more likely than their family-based peers to experience abuse, neglect, exploitation, lack of stimulation, poor nutrition and toxic stress, with lifelong physical and psychological repercussions. Moreover, children living in institutional settings are frequently missing from official statistics since reporting for many indicators, particularly those that comprise global monitoring frameworks such as the Sustainable…
This report maps current practice in philanthropic support for child- and youth-led work at the community level and offers strategic advice to donors on how to strengthen their funding modalities to achieve greater impact.

The COVID-19 Global Gender Response Tracker monitors responses taken by governments worldwide to tackle the pandemic, and highlights those that have integrated a gender lens. It captures two types of government responses: women’s participation in COVID-19 task forces and national policy measures taken by governments. It analyzes which of the policy measures address women’s economic and social security, including unpaid care work, the labour market and violence against women. The Tracker can provide guidance for policymakers and evidence for advocates to ensure a gender-sensitive COVID-19…

This assessment complements the UNHCR-led interagency assessment that focused on Gender-based violence (GBV) and violence against children (VAC) in 11 refugee settlements (UNHCR and OPM 2019). The Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (DRDIP) analysis includes a comprehensive mapping of services for GBV and VAC prevention and response across the key sectors of health, police, justice, and social services in refugee settlements and host communities. In addition, qualitative data were collected through focus group discussions with refugees and local populations; interviews with…
Through the programme “Integrating Child Protection within the African Peace and Security Architecture”, Save the Children sought to institute and monitor a functional accountability framework on child protection within the African Union, the Regional Economic Communities and Mechanisms as well as troop-contributing countries. In keeping with this objective, the first phase of the project mapped the relevant means of holding actors accountable for violations committed against children by assessing the child protection-relevant accountability mechanisms in situations of armed conflict. The…
The purpose of the assessment was to review service delivery in centres for children with disabilities in Rwanda. The assessment generated evidence essential for advocacy, policy and programme development both for children in institutional care and children with disabilities living in their communities. Data were collected and analyzed for 49 of the 59 institutions listed by NCPD. After analysis, information was grouped in two parts: i) factual data about the institution regarding services offered and funding and ii) an appreciation of how services are provided to children enrolled at each…

The Independent Care Review began its work in February 2017 and by November of the same year it was agreed that the Care Review would take up…
