About

This 158-page handbook provides humanitarian actors with guidance on how to coordinate child protection responses in humanitarian contexts in order to ensure more predictable, accountable, and effective child protection responses in emergencies around the world. It is designed for situations where the international community is formally engaged with the humanitarian response and where the cluster system has been activated. It is primarily addressed to child protection coordination teams, which may include coordinators, co-leads, and information managers.
