Presenter(s)
The Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) and CPC Learning Network co-hosted this three-day conference at the International Conference Center in Geneva, Switzerland. The purpose of this meeting was to improve the care and protection of children in crisis‐affected countries by bringing together practitioners and researchers to: 1) engage the global child protection community around new learning involving child protection practice; 2) increase understanding of different methodologies that can be used to strengthen program practice; and 3) reflect on the needs for evidence in the sector that can inform the wider CPWG learning agenda.
