Activating systems of care for whole child development in fragile contexts
Early childhood is a critical period for shaping long-term developmental outcomes, yet in fragile contexts like Haiti, state systems often lack the capacity to deliver comprehensive early childhood development (ECD) services. This study examines the Leveraging the Home, School, and Church (L3) initiative in Northern Haiti, a whole child development (WCD) intervention implemented with the Catholic Church. Using the Qualitative Impact Protocol (QuI…

Causes of family separation and barriers to reunification
Since 2011, the war in Syria has resulted in the displacement of 12.2 million people. Over 5.6 million have fled Syria to seek asylum in neighbouring countries, while 6.6 million have been internally displaced. Family separation, with significant psychological, social and economic implications, is a key concern for those who flee violence and cross international borders. This qualitative study sought to understand the causes of separation among S…
Pushing the Limits of Child Participation in Research
Background: Violence against children (VAC) in Uganda is recognized as an urgent dilemma; however, most research has been quantitatively oriented and has seldom involved children in the research process. Objective: We discuss what we learned about child participation in the research process as a means of informing ethical praxis in future child- and youth-led research initiatives. As an overarching aim of this paper, we utilize our engagement wit…
What’s happening in Syria even affects the rocks”
Opportunities exist for humanitarian and host-country actors to provide more comprehensive NCD services and to improve the relevance and the quality of care provided to Syrian refugees in Jordan. Global and national funding will need to align with front-line realities and foster better coordination of services between host-country health systems, private actors and non-governmental organizations
Monitoring and reporting attacks on education in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Somalia
The United Nations' Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism is charged with documenting six grave violations against children in a time of conflict, including attacks on schools. Many of these incidents, however, remain unreported across the globe. This study explores whether or not a local knowledge base of education and child protection actors in North and South Kivu Provinces, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and in Mogadishu, Somalia, could contr…

Measuring Physical Violence and Rape Against Somali Women Using the Neighborhood Method
This study was conducted to estimate prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) among female Somalis in Ethiopian refugee camps and host communities, compare prevalence in camps and communities, and compare prevalence in flight and in camp. Systematic random sampling was used to select households in Awbare camp (n = 85), Awbare town (n = 76), and Kebribeyah camp (n = 83). GBV was common and overwhelmingly domestic. Prevalence was higher in Awbare …
Assessing the impact of microfinance programming on children
This paper presents an evaluation of the long-term impact of microfinance programmes on Acehnese children during the post-tsunami recovery. The study, conducted from June to August 2010, examined the impact of microfinance programming six years after the tsunami. The sample consisted of 185 microfinance participants, with a comparison group of 192 individuals who did not participate in microfinance programmes. All respondents were parents, interv…
Measuring the incidence and reporting of violence against women and girls in liberia using the 'neighborhood method
Violence against women and girls is widespread in the areas studied. Programming needs to address the fact that this violence is primarily occurring in the household, where most incidents go unreported outside the immediate family or social circle. Police and hospital reports severely under-represent these known perpetrators. Inter-interviewer variance and differences in reports for self and neighbors for some outcomes caution the precision and v…

Sealing the Past, Facing the Future
This paper reports on an evaluation of a program in Sierra Leone that sought to support the community reintegration of young women and girls formerly associated with armed groups and forces. In the absence of baseline data, we used locally-derived indicators of reintegration and village timelines to conduct a retrospective cohort study of the progress of 142 girls and young women towards achievement of community reintegration following their expe…
Measuring violence against women amidst war and displacement in northern Uganda using the “neighbourhood method”
BACKGROUND: Gender-based violence is viewed as a significant problem in conflict-affected regions throughout the world. However, humanitarian organizations typically have been unable to reliably estimate the incidence of rape, intimate partner violence and other forms of sexual abuse in such settings. Such estimates are required to inform programming in contexts such as northern Uganda. METHODS: We sought to establish incidence rates for gender-b…
Children and fighting forces
It is 10 years since the adoption of the Cape Town Principles and Best Practices on the Prevention of Recruitment of Children into the Armed Forces and on Demobilization and Social Reintegration of Child Soldiers in Africa. The field of programming for the reintegration of children associated with armed forces and armed groups has made significant strides in this period. However, important gaps in the knowledge base remain. This paper examines em…
Using the 'protective environment' framework to analyse children's protection needs in Darfur
A major humanitarian concern during the continuing crisis in Darfur, Sudan, has been the protection of children, although there has been little in the way of comprehensive analysis to guide intervention. Founded on a situational analysis conducted between October 2005 and March 2006, this paper documents the significant threats to children's well-being directly linked to the political conflict. It demonstrates the role of non-conflict factors in …
Mozambique child soldier life outcome study
As the use of child soldiers continues to proliferate throughout the world, effective psychosocial interventions must be developed and evaluated. Our research shows that former child soldiers who are provided rehabilitative services and accepted back into their families and communities are able to become productive, responsible and caring adults. In 1988, 39 captured or escaped child soldiers were brought by the Mozambican government to the Lhang…

Displaced Children
On-going political crises around the world have created a sense of urgency among the international community about the need to provide psychosocial support to displaced children. But are we prepared to undertake this work? This paper examines the usefulness of available information, professional literature, and training models for the actualities of providing mental health care to children displaced by political conflict or civil war. It uses the…
Unaccompanied Children
From the Spanish Civil war to the boat people of Vietnam, children have been tragically separated from their families in emergencies. This study summarizes the kinds of separations, their causes, and the responses of national, international and voluntary organizations. It draws on historical, psychological and legal perspectives to recount nine 20th-century crises. It looks at the powerful psychological effects of family separations, and describe…
