The aim of the webinar is to examine how strengthening the social service workforce is an important component of different countries’ national plans of action to address violence against children and the seven strategies outlined in the INSPIRE package. The webinar will feature speakers providing background about Pathfinder Countries and the National Plans of Action, UNICEF’s role in helping countries realize the strategies outlined in the INSPIRE package, advocacy efforts to call for greater attention to the workforce in these efforts, and a country-based example from Tanzania about the integration of workforce strengthening into national plans to address violence against children.
