Child Protection (CP) actors in the Afghanistan reached 317,185 beneficiaries who include (girls: 68,234 & boys: 99,722) with CP services in April 2023. This includes 27,156 beneficiaries who received psychosocial and mental health support services, 6,309 unaccompanied/separated minors and children facing other protection risks received case management and reintegration services, while 227,703 children/adolescents/men & women were sensitized on child protection issues.
Furthermore, 2,365 humanitarian workers including social workers & community volunteers were trained on Child Protection support services.
NOTE: Due to the ban on National female staff working for NGOs on 24th Dec 2022, there was only a partial implementation of activities which continues to negatively impact on our achievements especially reach to children and women. However, all possible operational adaptation modalities are being explored to sustain implementation of activities including integration with education and health facilities and use of virtual or remote approaches for delivering case management and PSS. The raise of achievement in February was due to backlogs of reports completed leading to rise in percentage of reach.
