Measuring the Impact and Sustainability of a Community-Based Child Protection Approach in Prevention of Violence Against Children in a Post Conflict Setting in Northern Uganda.
REFNo: SS566ES

The overall question for this evaluation is: What is the impact and sustainability of interventions to strengthen community-based child protection systems on prevention of violence against children in families and communities emerging from a protracted armed conflict?

The specific questions are:
•Does training Child Protection stakeholders result into functional community-based Child Protection systems for prevention of violence against children?
•Does an equipping child protection structure with knowledge, skills, financial and material resources on case management improve access to child protection services?
•Does legislation and dissemination of relevant child protection laws lead to improved implementation and enforcement for prevention of violence against children?
•Does equipping children with knowledge and skills in child protection, make them indispensable change agents for addressing violence against children?
•What evidence exists to show that the project interventions to prevent violence against children at family and community level in post-conflict setting will be sustainable?
•What are the critical enablers of project success, and what should be avoided for future similar interventions in and out of post-conflict settings?
•How sustainable are interventions interventions to strengthen community-based child protection systems?
