This course is about the care and protection of unaccompanied and separated refugee and migrant children who are moving across and between countries. This course will provide an understanding of the risks and vulnerabilities these children face.

The Conference is designed as a two-day event, targeting key groups such as administration of justice, children deprived of liberty and professionals who work with them, children on the move, children in institutions and children detained in the context of armed conflict.

The UNICEF/ CTWWC Regional learning platform on care reform in Eastern and Southern Africa will be holding a webinar on care reform for children with albinism. What do efforts to care for children with albinism tell us about disability inclusive care reform? Efforts to prevent family separation and support family-based alternative care for this highly vulnerable group of children have led to many lessons learnt on care reform in Africa.

As part of a continuous discussion about what evidence is and how it can best drive impact, this webinar is a unique opportunity to hear about ongoing research projects designed to inform system strengthening initiatives.

This webinar will provide updates on key global debates and initiatives relevant to care reform. The first part of the session will focus on efforts to advance care reform within the African Union and will explore how children’s care is addressed through broader global initiatives in child protection and sustainable development.
