Child Protection

ACCOS implements comprehensive child protection programmes aimed at preventing and responding to all forms of violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect of children.

Our interventions include case management, psychosocial support, community-based child protection mechanisms, and awareness campaigns targeting harmful practices.

We give particular attention to girls and adolescent females at risk of gender-based violence and harmful practices, and to internally displaced children, including those separated from their families.

This work supports our strategic objective to strengthen child protection systems that prevent and respond to violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect affecting children. We coordinate through the Protection cluster and with Southwest State and federal line ministries.
