2017 CD141 CD4005 Strengthening of the Community Mechanism for Child Protection Through an Effective Referral System, Quality Education for Displaced Children Affected by Armed Conflict and Natural Disaster in Kalehe Territory

The proposed intervention is a continuation of WCH's integrated programming using a community based approach in Kalehe territory thanks to the support of ECHO form May 2016 to April 2017. The project seeks to enable conflict-affected children to grow up in a stronger protective environment through the knowledge of community-based protection mechanisms by their families and communities, who at the same time support their education for their well-being and future prospects in kalehe territory (Luzira, Kalehe-Ihusi, Muhongoza and Bushushu). The intervention will be based on the achievements of the previous ECHO project and will be articulated around 2 results: 1 - The community child Protection mechanism is supported and dynamized through members of community child protection structures who are supported by specialized services in 4 communities; 2 - Vulnerable displaced children from Kalehe reintegrated into the formal education system are maintained in school and enjoy quality education.Thanks to the proposed intervention, displaced children and youth in 4 communities will continue to benefit from protection care and have access to quality formal education.
