On June 29, 2015 at 10am EDT, the CPC Learning Network and the International Institute for Child Rights and Development (IICRD) hosted a webinar featuring Dr. Sarah Meyer, Associate Director of Research at the Centre of Excellence for the Study of the African Child (the Africhild Centre), and Gita Swamy Meier-Ewert, Senior Planning and Monitoring Specialist at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). This webinar focused on the experience of the CPC Learning Network and UNHCR in developing, piloting and refining a Child Protection Index (CPI), designed to assess the strength of the child protection system in humanitarian settings. Dr. Meyer presented findings from studies conducted in 2013 and 2014 in refugee settings in Uganda and Rwanda, identified strengths of the CPI, and shared challenges in conceptualizing and measuring system strength in refugee settings. She additionally explored areas for future improvement to frameworks and tools for measurement of child protection system strength.
