Abstract: |
CRC General Comment 13 emphasises that defining measurable targets for improvements in child protection is a key element of efforts to strengthen child rights and well-being across the world. This paper describes an attempt to develop a ‘National Child Protection Index Report’ which summarises achievements and concerns at the national level. Specifically, the aim was to identify key domains relevant to such mapping of child protection indicators, and the feasibility of collecting data from existing data sources or otherwise. A process of inter-agency collaboration, involving a number of international child protection agencies, was used to establish a template for the Index Report. The template provides a concise summary of protection issues of relevance to a broad range of constituencies, global and national. This template was then used as a basis to pilot national data collection in Indonesia and, at a sub-national level, in northern Uganda. The findings showed that, in the pilot settings, existing routine data collection was inadequate to effectively populate a large proportion of indicators. Mechanisms of collating findings from discrete assessments may constitute another potential source of data, but were also generally underdeveloped. Implications for practice are discussed. |
