Supportive/Protective Factors as Hard to Measure issues:
Child Protection Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation
Challenges in Child Protection measurement
• Number and diversity of issues in child protection programmes
• Lack of baseline measurements
• Lack of comparison groups for pre- and post-intervention measures
• Weak if any M&E frameworks
• Measuring outputs rather than outcomes
• SitAn for child protection are fragmented, lack depth and coverage
• Child Protection issues are hidden and data is difficult to obtain
• Need to address social norms change requires long-term monitoring
What is needed

Programme design: Theory of Change
In Development and Emergency Contexts
Based on the SitAn, formulate a Theory of Change (ToC). A ToC
provides a blueprint of the building blocks needed to achieve longterm goals.
At its core, a theory of change identifies:
• The results a development effort seeks to achieve
• The actions necessary to produce the results, in terms of outputs,
outcomes or impact of that effort
• The events and conditions likely to affect the achievement of
results
• Any assumptions about cause and effect linkages
• An understanding of the broader context in which the programme
operates-
Children are better protected from violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect
Impact
- Reduction in violent deaths, sexual violence, violent discipline, FGM/C, child marriage, child labour, children in residential care,
children in detention,
- Increase in birth registration
Children
take actions to improve their protection and well-being
and avoid risky behaviour
Families and Communities
have strengthened ability to care for children and promote
protection and well-being of children, reject harmful social
norms and adoptive positive behaviours
Outcomes
Child Protection Systems
prevent and respond to violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect of children, including through supportive legislative
and policy frameworks and quality services for children and families in need, including the most vulnerable
Outputs
Enhanced support and
increased capacities of
children and families
to protect themselves
and to eliminate
practices and
behaviours harmful to
children
Increased national
capacity to provide
access to child
protection systems that
prevent and respond to
violence, abuse,
exploitation and
neglect
Strategies
Advocate for social and
behaviour change to
reject harmful practices
and all forms of
violence, exploitation
and neglect of children
Strengthen quality of
and access to services
for the prevention and
response to violence,
exploitation and abuse
and neglect
Main
causes
Problem
Social norms that
condone harmful
practices
Strengthened political
commitment, accountability
and national capacity to
legislate, plan and budget for
scaling up interventions that
prevent and respond to
violence, abuse, exploitation
and neglect
Laws, policies, quality
standards that are
compliant with
international standards
and best practices
Inadequate, poorly
delivered and
coordinated services
Increased country capacity
and delivery of services to
ensure that children’s rights
to protection from violence,
abuse, exploitation and
neglect are sustained and
promoted in humanitarian
situations
Develop the evidence
base to identify the
extent, nature and
consequences of the
problem and current
responses
Poor Legal Protections
and weak
implementation of laws
Increased capacity of
governments and
communities to
identify and respond
to human rights and
gender dimensions of
child protection
Human, financial and
infrastructure resources
so that skilled workers are
in the right place at the
right time for children,
parents and caregivers
Lack of data and
evidence on what works
Enhanced global
and regional
capacity to
accelerate
progress in child
protection
Management, coordination
and accountability
mechanisms to support
effective collaboration and
coordination between
sectors
Inadequate financial
and human resources
Violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect are societal problems, driven by economic and social inequities and poor education standards. They are fuelled by social
norms that condone violence as an acceptable way to resolve conflicts, sanction adult domination over children and encourage discrimination. They are enabled by
systems that lack adequate policies and legislation, effective governance and a strong rule of law to prevent violence, prosecute perpetrators, and provide follow-up
services for victims. They are allowed to persist when they are undocumented and unmeasured as a result of inadequate investments in data collection and poor
dissemination of findings.

with sufficient funding requested in annual SRP processes across all
sectors

Children and women in emergencies are at heightened risk of GBV - a serious human rights violation with severe health outcomes and implications for peace and development. The drivers of GBV
against girls and women include gender-based discrimination and norms that disempower girls and women. In humanitarian settings the problem is compounded by a breakdown in communities,
Problem
services and systems; heightened deprivation, insecurity and risk; and inadequate attention to GBV across humanitarian response.
Now we need to figure out how to measure
progress towards our results….
PLANNING FOR M&E
INDICATORS: TYPES
Indicators exist in many different forms:
 Direct indicators correspond precisely to results at
any performance level.
Direct
Indirect /
proxy
Qualitative
Quantitative
 Indirect or "proxy" indicators demonstrate the
change or results if direct measures are not feasible.
 Indicators are usually quantitative measures,
expressed as percentage or share, as a rate, as
a ratio.
 Indicators may also be qualitative observations.
Global /
standardised
Locally
developed
 Standardised global indicators are
comparable in all settings.
 Other indicators tend to be context specific
and must be developed locally.
General ethical considerations for M&E
• Dealing with raised expectations by conducting
primary data collection with people in very poor
communities
• The effects of the research on children and
families
• If and how to compensate respondents for their
time
