IOM-UNICEF Online Consultation on the Inclusion of Children Affected by Migration in National Child Protection Systems

The IOM and UNICEF have once again joined together to carry out an hour and a half online consultation on the Inclusion of Children Affected by Migration in National Child Protection Systems.

This consultation seeks to provide recommendations that can be utilized by practitioners to advance the work on inclusion of children affected by migration in national child protection systems. The Consultant developing a technical note on this subject, Christina Torsein, will present initial findings. It is also an opportunity for you and others to share your reflections for the technical note based on your experience in this area.

There will be two online consultations to accommodate different time zones and enable wide participation to review the initial findings to date and collect further considerations to inform the Technical Note being developed. Following the initial online consultations, in-depth interviews, mapping exercises, review of emerging practices, challenges and gaps, IOM and UNICEF will host a validation meeting in person.
