Strengthening access to Child Protection prevention response Service for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in Daynille and Kaxda Districts in Mogadishu The CP intervention objectives is to contribute towards enhancing child protection response, through the deployment of CP teams composed of Case Workers, Case Manager, and IDTR officers, for increased identification and service delivery. This assistance will be provided where there is currently very limited access to child protection services and to provide tailored and effective assistance.

The implementation of this project will focus on service delivery associated with various forms of rights abuse with particular concerns to the children including exposure to violence, psychological distress, family separation, exploitation, among others.The response include most lifesaving and time critical protection activities such as identification, documentation tracing and reunification (IDTR) and foster care supports, psycho social support(PSS), awareness campaigns on prevention of protection risks, mapping and sharing of existing referral pathways, joint child Safety walks/mapping exercises with CCCM and Shelter partners to protect the extremely vulnerable children and their families.

SWDC will closely coordinate and compliment its activities in the target district and sites, coordination will be sought with Shelter (HINNA), CCCM (NoFYL), General protection (SSWC) and HLP (NoFYL). The multi-sectoral approach will be useful to strengthen referrals and provision of quality support within the same location and the same population leading to achieving a greater impact.
