As we reflect on 2023 and embark on a new year, the Alliance is deeply concerned about the devastating consequences of increasing armed conflict, climate-induced emergencies, and disasters associated with natural hazards on children around the world.
Against this backdrop and in order to respond to increasing need, the Alliance calls for urgent action and investment in three critical areas in 2024:
- Invest in the Child Protection Workforce — it is the key asset to protect children in crises
- Prioritise preventing harm while continuing the response to urgent needs
- Join us - Every actor across the humanitarian system has a role to play in protecting children
As we look ahead to 2024 and beyond it is imperative that children’s rights are protected as a priority, before, during, and post conflict and crises. Detailed recommendations for action can be found in the Technical Annex, underscoring the urgency of addressing these critical issues.
