Child Protection Coordination and Information Management Competency Frameworks

The report outlines the essential competencies required for professionals working in child protection coordination and information management at various levels (global, regional, national, and sub-national). The frameworks detail 21 key competencies necessary for effective coordination and information management in humanitarian settings, ensuring that child protection efforts are well-coordinated, data-driven, and responsive to the needs of children in emergencies.

The competencies outlined in these frameworks, are required in all humanitarian coordination / preparedness settings, regardless of the name of the child protection coordination group, for example, if called ‘Child Protection Area of Responsibility’, ‘Child Protection Sector’, ‘Child Protection Working Group’. The term ‘coordination group’ is used in the behaviours as an inclusive term to reflect this.
