The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action is organising the 2026 Annual Meeting for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, to be held on a virtual platform from 8–11 June 2026 (TBC). This year’s meeting will focus on the theme “Child Protection in a Resource-Constrained World: From Challenges in Financing to Innovative Solutions.” The meeting will be conducted in English, with simultaneous interpretation available in Arabic, French, and Spanish for select sessions.
At a time when humanitarian needs are increasing, resources are tightening, and the global legal and normative framework for protecting children is under strain due to growing violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, collective reflection and exchange are critical to sustaining and strengthening child protection outcomes.
For more information on this year’s theme, please read the 2026 Annual Meeting Background Paper and the Alliance’s brief on the global impact of funding cuts on children and their protection in humanitarian contexts.
Participants are invited to submit abstracts to share experiences, approaches, and innovations at the 2026 Annual Meeting. Abstracts should be submitted via the designated link by 13 February. Further guidance, including submission criteria and sample forms, is available in the Abstract Submission Guidance. For questions or technical issues, please contact annualmeeting2026@alliancecpha.org
