Child Protection: Syria Crisis Regional Interagency Workshop Report

The purpose of this workshop was to strengthen the response within the child protection sub-sector by sharing lessons learned, and identifying challenges and ways to address these challenges across countries in light of the protracted nature of the conflict and the continually changing context. The workshop was an initiative co-led by UNICEF and UNHCR Regional Offices, in close consultation with child protection actors and partners from each of the countries affected by the Syria crisis.

While the workshop included also a few participants from Syria, the focus was primarily on the refugee response due to the specificities of the context inside Syria. Hence the more frequent reference to the 3RP framework in this report. Most of the technical discussions were still very relevant to the Syria context and can inform future programming.
