Child Protection Systems: Eastern and Southern Africa

Philip Goldman - Maestral International

This presentation describes the mapping of the child protection system in Eastern and Southern Africa. The approach for this mapping included:

  • Articulating the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of CP systems
  • Building stakeholder consensus to move forward
  • Undertaking a nationally owned mapping and assessment: – Formal and informal – From community to national level – Broad consultation, child participation, verification
  • Identifying strengths, weaknesses, gaps
  • Highlighting priorities, strategizing, cost
  • Implementing, learning and adapting
