Child Protection in Emergencies Professional Development Programme: East and Southern Africa End of Cycle 2 Report

Save the Children with funding from IKEA Foundation is running a Child Protection in Emergencies Professional Development Programme to strengthen response capability in the East and Southern Africa Region. The programme speaks to the global localisation agenda and Grand Bargain commitment, with a specific focus on increasing Regional and National CPiE deployment capacity and reserves.

Targeting mid-level child protection professionals to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to design and implement high-quality CPiE programmes, the programme adopts a blended learning approach, that includes distance learning, residential face to face sessions, desk-based simulation, Transformation of Training, and a number of technical tasks. In order to further support the participants, an optional professional mentoring component was also built into the programme.

The East and Southern Africa Region ran its second cycle between November 2019 and August 2020.
