humanitarian crises. Yet, despite these challenges, we marched on, resolute in... resolving critical health systems issues to increase

In December 2013, UNICEF published its first comprehensive evaluation assessing how well its global and country strategies and programmes have worked to protect children in emergencies.
The ‘Evaluation of UNICEF Programmes to Protect Children i...n Emergencies’ was undertaken to identify key successes and gaps in child protection programming over the period 2009-2012 and to draw out lessons learned ahead of the roll-out of the new Strategic Plan, 2014-2017.

It assesses the extent to which interventions in longer term
child protection systems-strengthening and preparedness have led to a more effective response in crises.
