Measuring Impact through a Child Protection Index
One of UNHCR’s primary objectives is ensuring evidence based programming for the protection of children in refugee settings. In 2012, UNHCR started to roll out newly drafted strategies on child protection, sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) and education in a selected number of target countries. The 2012 Framework for the Protection of Children articulates the centrality of child protection to UNHCR’s protection mandate, stating that UNHCR will act to promote child protection by “protecting and advocating against all forms of discrimination; preventing and responding to abuse, neglect, violence and exploitation; ensuring immediate access to appropriate services; and ensuring durable solutions in the child’s best interests.” Read More
Displacement, Violence and Vulnerability: Trafficking among Internally Displaced Persons in Kenya
The existence of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) is usually a sign of prolonged, often overt, conflict within a given society. It can also be an indicator of lack of capacity by the relevant state institutions to address the effects of natural disasters. Many IDP communities, uprooted from their original social milieu, become vulnerable to several negative phenomena that may also include human trafficking. This study examines the link between internal displacement and human trafficking by specifically looking at factors that might increase the vulnerability of IDPs to trafficking. The study develops a model containing several elements (variables) or conditions pertaining to trafficking vulnerability. Key among these conditions is experience of violence during the displacement together with the vicinity to main highways and trading centres. The study concludes that depending on the combinations of these factors, the vulnerability of IDPs to trafficking can either increase or decrease. A number of recommendations are made towards the mitigation of vulnerability of IDPs to trafficking. Read More

Coming of Age on the Streets: Helping Young People become Independent Adults
Multiple factors such as poverty, violence and neglect continue to push children outside family care around the world. Although different interventions such as family reintegration or foster care aim to return children to safe family environments, they are not always feasible for older children. In such instances, independent living may be considered as a form of alternative care which allows children to gradually gain autonomy making reintegration into their communities possible. Read More
The RISE Learning Project is facilitating learning on Recovery and Reintegration (R&R) approaches that improve outcomes for children and adolescents affected by sexual exploitation (CSE). One of our methods to achieve this is through the implementation of learning projects: these are small reflective practice projects which allow practitioners on the ground to undertake a piece of work, learn together with peers and share their experiences with the wider community of practice.
