To address the protection risks faced by children and adolescents in Palorinya Refugee Settlement, ChildFund implemented the four-month project dubbed, “Children on the Move,” The initiative aimed to strengthen the capacity of Refugee and Community-Based Organizations, including youth and women-led groups to deliver timely, quality and localized child protection services.

Key training included; self-reliance, strategic planning and financial sustainability, leading to the development of transition roadmaps and a community of practice. Reflection meetings with stakeholders improved coordination for child protection and violence against children, women and men response, while mentorship sessions facilitated the reporting and referral of child protection cases. Additionally, community members received information on child rights and Violence Against Children, Men and Women prevention while parents and caregivers were trained on adolescent development, positive discipline and VAC, women and men prevention, strengthening parenting skills across the settlement.
