Jonna Karlsson - UNICEF

The 21-22 June 2017 Africa Expert Consultation on Violence against Children (VAC) in All Care Settings was the second in a series of regional consultations focused on engaging experts within the region to collaborate, share learning, and formulate a set of regional recommendations for key actors to effectively address violence against children within all care settings, especially within alternative care. 

"Strengthening the Social Welfare Workforce to address Violence against Children in care," presented by Jonna Karlsson of UNICEF's Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office at the Africa Expert Consultation, describes the need for social service workforce strengthening in the region and presents recommendations based on a case example from Rwanda.
