Guidelines on the Integration of Child Protection Issues into Multi-sectorial & Other Humanitarian Assessments

The Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) has developed these Guidelines to foster humanitarian assessments that are better coordinated, to allow the collection of cross-sectorial key information in a timely manner, and to encourage the harmonization of assessment methodologies and approaches to ensure the complementarity of assessment efforts carried out during emergency responses.

The guidelines were created using an extensive review of existing inter-agency and cluster specific humanitarian assessment tools and methodologies, evaluations, and lessons learned. Interviews were also conducted with key informants, and a survey was circulated to Child Protection field practitioners and information management professionals.
