In contexts of extreme poverty, prolonged humanitarian crisis due to armed conflict and vulnerability to climatic and manmade shocks, child protection is of utmost priority in Somalia. Therefore, SC has been exploring various mechanisms of integrating child protection (CP) and child rights governance (CRG) in other thematic areas. Given the scale of the primary education portfolio, integrating CP and CRG in primary education is a priority.

The objectives of this exercise are to identify the major child protection concerns that Somali children face in schools and map out interventions that can address these concerns. The purpose of this review is to list priority interventions based on impact potential and operational feasibility, which can inform current programming and future project developments.
