How can you make a difference?

UNICEF’s Child Protection Programme seeks to prevent and respond to all forms of abuse, exploitation, violence, and neglect towards children in Lebanon. The programme takes a systems-strengthening approach to enhancing legislation and policy, ensuring quality service provision, and engaging children and caregivers in demand for services at the national, subnational and community levels. UNICEF provides technical assistance to ministries to strengthen, inter alia, the knowledge and capacity of stakeholders, including security sector personnel, on the issue of children in conflict with the law, children at risk, and child victims and witnesses.

As part of that approach, UNICEF supports capacity-building programmes for a wide range of justice actors, including law enforcement officers. To that extent, UNICEF has developed several learning resources on child justice, in collaboration with the relevant State entities, with the aim of institutionalizing and standardizing specialized trainings on child protection, including child justice.

The next step in this process would be the establishment of a pool of specialized core trainers through the organization of a training-of-trainers that would be based on the learning resources that has been developed to that extent. As such, together with a national expert, an international consultant is required to develop and deliver a 2-day training of trainers on.

• Planning for the training of trainers: In coordination with the national expert, developing the agenda for the 2-day training, identifying the modalities of implementation.
• Delivering the 2-day training scheduled to take place on 23-24 March 2023.
