Final Evaluation and Documentation of SEEDs: A Learning from pilot phase in Mozambique (2026)

This report presents findings from the SEEDs community-led child protection pilot implemented in Manica Province, Mozambique (2023–2024). The approach aimed to strengthen community ownership, enhance local capacity, and generate evidence for scalable child protection programming.

Using participatory methods and a post-intervention assessment, the study shows that SEEDs effectively improved community-based child protection, enabling locally driven solutions and measurable improvements in children’s safety and wellbeing. The model proved cost-efficient, relying on local resources rather than financial incentives.

Despite contextual challenges, the findings highlight strong potential for scaling community-led approaches to achieve sustainable child protection outcomes.
