“This symposium, sponsored by the CPC Network, Women’s Refugee Commission, and FHI 360, brought together leading global practitioners, researchers, policy experts and donors to explore the current best practices and evidence on the use of economic strengthening interventions to prevent child separation from and support child reintegration back into families and communities.
Poverty has proven to be a key driver in separating families and preventing the reintegration of separated children back into their families and communities. However, it is not fully understood how to best address poverty through economic strengthening interventions in this context. What are the necessary components of a “successful” intervention to prevent family separation? Reintegrate separated children? Minimize the risk of re-separation? The symposium included the presentation of new case studies from around the world that use economic strengthening as part of programs to either prevent family separation or facilitate reintegration.”
