On 9 August 2019, CFSI conducted the Child Protection Area of Responsibility (CP AoR) English Help Desk Orientation with its Staff Members in Sub-Office in Iligan (SOI), primarily community organizers and social workers. The aim was to strengthen capacities and to maximize the services of the English Help Desk. The identified capacities on child protection in humanitarian action by CFSI Staff Members includes general child protection, coordination, case management, and information management.
The Orientation was followed by field visits to CFSI partner communities in Municipality of Piagapo. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were facilitated to discuss promising practices in community-level child protection approaches. This is part of enhancing the Field Guide to Strengthening CBCP in Humanitarian Settings (Field Guide) being piloted by the Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (The Alliance) in partnership with Plan International, CFSI, and Joint Child Protection and Gender-based Violence Working Group in BARMM.
