The Child Protection Section of UNICEF India has engaged the Global Social Service Workforce Alliance (hereafter referred to as ‘the Alliance’) to map and undertake a comprehensive HR (human resources) and capacity gap assessment of the existing child protection workforce in five states in India, and then propose a framework for strengthening this workforce informed by the above, with special emphasis on case management.
The purposes of this project are to:

2. Develop a comprehensive strategy for workforce development along with an implementation roadmap
3. Develop training modules on case management for key child protection cadres in coordination with the Government of India MCWD and State Government departments, building on existing training processes.
