Background
Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. We endeavor to ensure children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share. Save the Children operates across all regions of Ethiopia with a vision of creating a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. Its mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
Save the Children is currently in process to implement a four year DFID-funded program to protect would-be migrants and refugees from unsafe irregular migration through and from Ethiopia with the funding from DFID. The program is led by Danish Refugee Council, with partners: Save the Children, Mixed Migration Centre, BBC Media Action and Altai Consulting.
As part of the inception phase of the program, Save the Children has planned to conduct a mapping of protection services, looking specifically at: 1) Mapping protection service providers and identifying which services are available for migrant and returnee youth and children in communities of high outward migration; 2) conduct an assessment of existing capacity, and capacity gaps of protection service providers to inform capacity building support and training plans. The protection service mapping will cover both the formal and informal (community based) protection services.
Purpose and scope of the mapping/ assessment
In order to effectively and efficiently achieve the project outcomes, it is important to establish a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the context. That include understanding of the protection landscape with focus on children and youth, and specific reference to initiatives and actors who work with children and youth migrants, returnees and those vulnerable groups in high out migration communities. This will support the development of effective interventions that are aligned with other key actors and also identify key strategic partners. The protection service mapping thus aims to establish an operational framework for the project, providing practical recommendations on project approaches and activities which will improve protection outcomes for children and youth.
The focus of the protection service mapping is on vulnerable migrant children and youth in Ethiopia, which includes Ethiopian migrants and returnees with equal focus on refugees on the move, specifically, Eritrean and Somali refugees.
