UNICEF Nigeria is supporting the Government of Nigeria to
strengthen prevention of and response all forms of violence
against children. In particular, assistance will be provided to
strengthen the child protection system, including through
modelling the system in four States, in order to demonstrate the
impact of a well-functioning child protection system, to develop
a common model for
operationalizing the Child Rights
Act at State level and to develop standardized tools, including
regulations, working protocols and training manuals to govern the
system.
The emergency in the northeast of Nigeria has led to large
scale displacement of civilians with the Presidential
Initiative for the North East (PINE) estimating 1.5 million
internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the six states of the
Northeast. The increasing number of unaccompanied and separated
children (UASC), including children orphaned in the ongoing
hostilities, is a growing issue of concern. There is a pressing
need for the Child Protection Programme to scale up its
interventions in North East to meet the needs of UASC, and in
particular to support alternative care for UASC and the
establishment and implementation of family tracing and
reunification mechanisms.
If you are a passionate and committed professional and want to
make a lasting difference for children, the world’s leading
children’s rights organization would like to hear from you.
