Updated Regional Framework for the Protection of South Sudanese and Sudanese Refugee Children

In response to the humanitarian crisis and in light of the serious impact on children, UNHCR and child protection partners decided to jointly develop a Regional Framework for the Protection of South Sudanese and Sudanese Refugee Children (the Regional Child Protection Framework) during the early months of 2014.

During May through June of 2015, the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), Plan International, Save the Children, UNHCR, UNICEF, World Vision, as part of the Regional Child Protection Network, conducted assessment missions to the concerned countries to review the implementation of the Regional Child Protection Framework.

This document is a result of these inter-agency consultations. It updates the Regional Child Protection Framework (2014-2015) and establishes clear regional strategic priorities for the region with specific targets and indicators for the next two years (July 2015-June 2017). See also the Regional Review, which provides an in-depth perspective on the research leading to the updated Regional Framework.
