Thematic Session | From Systems to Households: Evidence & Recommendations on Funding Cuts

Session Title: Thematic Session | From Systems to Households: Evidence and Recommendations on Funding Cuts, Child Protection Outcomes, and System Adaptation During this session, a range of speakers from local to international actors, academics to policy-makers, took participants on a journey from current evidence to practical recommendations. The session kicked-off with findings of a global rapid evidence review on the impact of resource constraints on programming for unaccompanied and separated children, to adapting initiatives for children in fragile urban settings in Kenya following funding cuts. After a half time energiser, we zoomed into the refugee contexts of Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh and Dadaab, Kenya to explore the impact of cuts on child protection standards and outcomes. Recommendations for practice including adapting child protection systems and funding models were explored. Facilitators and Speakers: Camilla Jones, Irene Wali, Hannah Thompson, George Ochieng Odalo, Diana Imbiti, and Bree Akesson.
