This handbook offers practical guidance on child protection coordination to those working to protect children in emergencies. It has been developed in partnership by the community of UN agencies and international NGOs active in child protection in emergencies. It represents the collective learning and thinking of the sector on how to optimise the impact of efforts for children through careful and strategic coordination, and how to avoid unintended harm through fragmented, poorly coordinated responses.
