Research to Support Learning on Child Protection in Emergencies, Somalia
Save the Children (SC) is an international organization with 27 member organizations across the globe. It is united by a common mission and brand but, to some extent, has until now been working independently from country to country and within countries.
This will result in
one organisation at the national level in each country and a unified programme
delivery structure for all Save the Children International Members.
Save the Children UK, Denmark and Finland unified in Somalia in January 2010 under the name Save the Children in Somalia which will move to the IPU model by the end of 2012.
After one year of
unification and as a result of an active fundraising strategy the programme
budget was over GBP 10m covering thematic areas of protection, child survival
(which includes health, nutrition and livelihoods), education, and Child Rights
Governance.
Scope and Approach of
Research: To identify the
impacts of the current drought on children and to establish the most effective
ways of protecting children affected by drought, conflict and displacement in
Somalia from violence, abuse, exploitation and separation, and to promote their
wellbeing.
Specific Research
Objectives:
To assess existing
coping strategies of communities in
Somaliland, Puntland Central and South Somalia to deal with the effects of the
current drought and the child protection concerns on children.
To document good
practice in supporting community-based coping strategies, cultural approaches
and services to promote an effective response to child protection concerns such
as family separation, physical abuse, sexual violence, child recruitment,
early/forced marriage and psychosocial distress
