The Child Protection in Emergencies Postgraduate Diploma: Lessons and recommendations from an academic-humanitarian partnership

The Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) postgraduate Diploma project was conceived in response to the lack of diverse and readily deployable mid-level CPiE staff identified by the CPWG in 2010.

Recognizing the growing importance of academic-humanitarian partnerships which bring together those working in the field and those who can ground the theory in practice, this paper hopes to contribute to sector learning by highlighting the key lessons and recommendations that have been identified by the CPiE postgraduate Diploma project.
