With cable internet systems rolling out across the Pacific, access to affordable and fast digital connectivity in the region is set to rapidly expand, opening up unprecedented opportunities for children but also potentially exposing them to new risks of harm.
Plan International and Arup developed the Child-Centred Urban Resilience Framework to involve vulnerable groups in planning processes. The framework guides organisations to design, plan and implement community resilience activities in urban settings.
It can be hard to talk to kids about topics like climate change and the destruction of bushfires – especially the impact the fires may be having on them. This helpful guide is designed to help you navigate some of the difficult discussions with children that may come up during natural disasters in the context of climate change.
The social and regional impacts of climate change are not distributed equally or evenly. Instead, inequality – whether economic, social, or gender-based – increases vulnerability. This particularly impacts girls. Girls are powerful agents of change, yet their rights and their potential to combat the climate crisis are not being considered by governments in global climate strategies.
Violence against children is at endemic levels across Pacific island nations and Timor-Leste. Millions of children experience exceptionally high levels of physical, emotional and sexual violence, as well as neglect. For the vast majority of children, this violence is occurring in a place where they should feel safest: their homes.
Conflict in South Sudan has displaced four million people and left girls in particular at risk. This report explores how adolescent girls understand and respond to the unique impact their country’s crisis has upon them. It draws on research conducted with girls and members of their families and communities in South Sudan and Uganda.
The evaluation examined outcome indicators from the 4CA logical framework as well as criteria based on relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, cross-cutting issues (gender, disability, child centredness, inclusion of ethnic minorities, rurality) and sustainability.
