 Thanks all for honoring our invitation to attend to this webinar today and welcome all to this webinar on GBV-CP Coordination for Inclusion of Child and Adolescent Survivors of Sexual Violence and Adapted Response to COVID-19. My name is Vivian Coyette. I'm the Child and Adolescent Survivor Initiative Coordinator working for Gender-Based Violence Area of Responsibility. In this meeting today, I have my fellow lead organizer, who is Karina Hickling. Karina, can you say hi or wave? Thank you. Hello everybody. Karina Hickling is CP AOR Cassie Coordinator. She's actually my counterpart. Under Cassie as well, we have colleagues who are also part of Cassie Operational Team members. We have Jennifer Lee. Jennifer Lee say hi. Hi everyone. Nice to see everyone. We have Tezita, who is also CP GBV Specialist. Welcome Tezita. Hello everyone. Okay, so Tezita, I'll tell you when to share the presentation. It's not time yet. So before I continue, I'd like to welcome Sophia Ketiba to open for us. Thanks a lot Vivian. And welcome everyone. I'm Sophia Ketiba-Grendy. I'm the Deputy Global Protection Cluster Coordinator. And it's a great pleasure to be with you this afternoon to actually launch the first thematic event of the forum, the Protection Forum, this year. So we're very excited to have you on board and thanks for joining. And as you know, we convene this forum every year to bring all our partners together to discuss current issues and the strategic direction of the Global Protection Cluster. But also to engage on more specific technical details and link regional, local and global level. Because of COVID-19, of course, for the first time we don't do it in person, but virtually. So a first disclaimer, be patient with us in case there's any technical hiccups. We are trying our best. But it's the first time that we are doing this completely virtually for the whole months of September. And as you know, the forum is organized in three segments. In three different segments, we have the thematic webinars, which are convened and open to all the memberships of the cluster. And from local level, our local members of the cluster to the global level. And these are, again, to discuss the various thematics that our colleagues from the field wrote to our attention. Then we have a second type of events, which are technical events, which are working sessions dedicated to our coordinators. And then finally, we will have at the end of the year, high level segment. And during which we hope to have several of our senior manager to engage with donors and particularly raise the attention on key protection issues and particularly financing and funding gaps for the protection sector. So that will take place on the 30th of November and we'll send you further information once we have finalized that issues. And I think that's all what I wanted to say today. I just wanted to stress again the fact that of course, sexual violence is a key protection issue in our operation and we've seen an increase in sexual violence during the COVID-19s. I'm sure you all reading regularly are receiving some of our information or C traps stresses that. So if you don't have it, you can find it online, but it's definitely a very, very important issues for us. So I'm happy to actually start the forum with the gender based violence and the child protection and war to discuss how we can better to let collectively address these issues. So with that, a big thanks. Welcome Michael and have a very good discussion. Thank you. And just checking you can hear me okay. Yes. Okay, Vivian you're fine for me to go ahead. Yes, Michael. And yeah, thanks for the introduction as well. And thanks everyone for joining the first session as if he's saying really, really excited and in a way despite not being able to all be together. One of the things we think is possible is that more people are able to join from many, many different different backgrounds, different parts of the protection cluster members from from all over the world so a big, a big welcome. We've got two and a half minutes I've been told so I'm going to be very quick. So this, this session today is really part of an ongoing cooperation between the child protection and the GBV, where part of the protection cluster and as part of getting better coherence and cooperation. The child and adolescent survivor initiative was started some years ago. And that's in recognition that we've got from the child protection perspective, many, many children, particularly teenagers who are survivors of sexual violence and without clear cooperation between the child protection coordination groups and GBV coordination groups. Those children can fall through the cracks. There's a number of different dimensions to Kazi. Jennifer Lee just introduced herself we've got a community of practice to learn from you about your understandings and experiences of working with child and adolescent survivors. We've also got work on getting more predictable cooperation between the AOR so coming up with a framework and some tips about how we work together. We're also looking at what are the barriers to services because whilst it's great that we may have cooperative service mapping referral pathways of course if children and adolescents are not able to access services or if we don't even know whether they are or if they're not why they're not we're not able to get the right services in place. So listening to them so we've got some specific initiatives on barrier analysis that Vivian and Karina are leading as well. The work across the AORs is is super important and I mentioned coherence but also efficiency. Looking at how we can come up with the best cooperative framework depending on the location so we get the best efficiency and also the best quality of services so the overall objective under Kazi is to improve the quality and access of services. So I am going to stop there. I think I did it in under two and a half minutes. We've got some great presentations today. Do use the chat box. Do raise your hand. I know that the presenters and everyone wants to hear from you. It's a chance to also exchange one of the things we always knew but we've noticed more now than ever is that people love hearing from each other in their experiences. So do jump in and get involved. And with that, I think I'm turning to Stephanie over to you. Thank you Michael. And thank you very much for giving us a short and brief introduction to sort of more broadly what the child and adolescent survivors initiative is doing. I'm Stephanie Rühle and I would like to welcome you on behalf of the GVV AOR. We're really pleased that there's been such huge interest and participation in this webinar already from the start. It's really quite encouraging and I think it shows that there's a growing recognition of what Michael was describing that really we need to be working together really closely. We need to be thinking how not only across the GVV and CPA or are but even going broader across protection and beyond. We can work together to address the particular vulnerabilities especially right now in the times of COVID. I'm really looking forward to the discussion today to see what we can come up with together, what good practices we've already seen over the past months. And with that, without further ado, I'm going to hand back over to Vivian and yeah, I think you're all for joining. Over to you. Thanks, Stephanie and Michael for the opening remarks and Sophia as well. So we are going to start the webinar with a presentation of the agenda. Tizita, can you share the screen. So this is the agenda of the presentation. Second slide please. Tizita. So I'm actually going to present the agenda for today's meeting. I think Tizita is probably she can't hear me. So in today's webinar we have quite a number of presenters and I'm going to introduce them. When you hear your name please presenters say hi. So we are going to have Bashir Murad, who is the Interagency Case Management Advisor, deployed by IRC in Iraq, and Hamza Abdul Nabe Field Coordinator who will be supporting us to share experiences of Iraq. Bashir and Hamza. Hi Vivian, hi everyone, happy to be with you today. Hi Bashir, welcome. Hamza. Okay. We also have Emmanuel Haunk, who is the Child Protection subcluster coordinator for Niger. Emmanuel, say hi. Yes, hi Vivian. Hi. Thank you. We have Anifa Soumania, who is the GBV subcluster coordinator for Niger. Hi Anifa. I'm very happy to be able to join. Let me re-contact him. Okay. Hi Hamza. I can see you. Hi Vivian, hi everyone. I'm very glad to see you all. This is Hamza from UNFTA, working as a field coordinator for Nainoa and also chairing the GBV working group for Nainoa. Over to you. Thank you. Thank you Hamza. We have Jennifer Lee, who is the CP GBV Cassie, Advisor working with IRC. Hi again everyone. And Anifa, I saw your message and I unmuted you, so hopefully you can speak to him. Okay, thanks Jennifer. We have Tezita Teklezadik, who is the CP GBV Cassie Specialist with IRC. Hi Tezita. Hi everyone. And then we have Karina Hickling, who is the Cassie coordinator. We'll also be presenting. And then we also have Stella Mehta from Active Youth Agency in South Sudan, who will also be presenting something on Cassie Learning Program. Hi Stella. Hi Stella. I'm also really glad to be part of this meeting. Thank you very much to meet the colleagues from other parts of the world. Thanks Stella. And then we have, we will also have Kudsanai Mativirira, who works with UNIDOR in South Sudan as well, sharing something on Cassie Learning Program. There is South Sudan. Thank you. Hi Kudzi. Hi everyone. This is Kudzi. I work in South Sudan with UNIDOR. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Tezita, can we go to the next slide please? Okay, the flow of the webinar will be as follows. We will have an introduction of Cassie Phase 2 activities. This will be shared by Karina Hickling. And then after that we will have Iraq and Niger coordination teams sharing their experiences and case studies and also sharing their best practices and how CP and GBV are coordinating support right now during the COVID-19 response. And also we will have, I will also be presenting myself on Cassie practical examples and the Cassie tools that we've supported the different countries in developing them as well as the support that we've provided. We will also have our IRC colleagues also presenting on Cassie Learning Program and technical capacity development and we will have two organizations also sharing about Cassie Learning Program and that is the UNIDOR and active youth agency. And then after that we will have question and answer session and closing remarks by Jennifer Lee and Karina Hickling respectively. Next slide please. All information for this webinar are that please write your name, your organization and your role in the chat box. Also write any question or comment or any request in the chat box. And we will have somebody within our team who is managing, who will be also managing the chat box for us as well as also facilitating the question and answer session when that time comes. Also please take three minutes of your time to do an evaluation and a link will also be shared with us on the chat box. This webinar will be recorded and it will be made anonymous. It will later be posted for people who do not have the opportunity to attend this meeting to access it later. Also, as Sophia said, this is the first webinar on the thematic areas and we are all learning by doing so it also gives us an opportunity to discuss and strengthen linkages between AOR and other sectors. And I think this is a good platform where I know we are a mix of people with different backgrounds in terms of protection and it's an high opportunity for us to share our experiences through the chat box and asking questions. Thank you so much. I'm going to hand over to the next session to Karina Hickling to take us through the first session of this webinar. Thank you so much Vivian and thank you for a great introduction. I feel like we are getting a bit warm now in this and starting to get down to business. So Titsita, would you mind switching on the slides again please? Fantastic. So the Child and Adolescent Survivor Initiative just a little bit of a background. Maybe this is something new for people. We have been around for a bit of time, but the overall objective for us is for child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence, in humanitarian settings to have access to quality services that meet their diverse and specific needs. And we are a initiative that is supported through the Child Protection AOR, the GBB AOR, IRC and NORCAP. So together we are sitting working with the coordination groups and mechanisms in humanitarian settings. Next slide please. So Cassie, as Michael and Vivian have said and Stephanie, that we are working to improve the quality and access to services for child and adolescent survivors. And access is actually something that is one of the major issues. We don't really, as responders, have adolescents, child and adolescent survivors accessing services. That's something that we know. We don't know exactly what it is that we need to change. So we are working on trying to be better at understanding the needs. We know that there are needs and we know that services need to be provided, but since this is contextualized, access is something that needs to be worked out in each of the settings. And of course strengthening coordination and collaboration between CP and GBB actors. So having this solid base, a cooperative collaborative base will be a better starting point for improving the access and quality for the services. And of course interagency support for country level CP and GBB coordination groups. That is how we are operationalizing Cassie through providing support to actors on the ground, coming together, developing referral mechanisms, gaps, understanding and addressing gaps in capacity, service outreach, et cetera. And technical capacity development, which will be talked about by the Cassie Learning Initiative colleagues, Titsita and Jennifer, so that the appropriate care can, we know how to appropriately respond to and care for to survivors. I just want to say something on the terminology we use child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence. And I just would like to underline that this is here, we are really trying to embody a wide and overlapping types of sexual violence, including GBB that affect children and adolescents. And I just would like to reiterate that this includes rape, sexual slavery, indecent assault, sexual exploitation and or abuse, forced pregnancy, abortion, sterilization, strip searches, female genital mutilation, child early and forced marriage, levered marriage, incest, sexual harassment, defilement, commercial sexual exploitation, online sexual abuse and cyber building and trafficking for sexual purposes. It can also include witnessing GBB and sexual violence between adults, for example in the home. We know and you know that the effects of GBB and sexual violence are multifaceted and intergenerational, and the responses must be tuned to the needs of the survivor in context where it is perpetrated. And also we underline that both girls and boys are affected by GBB and sexual violence. So this slide shows you the technical guidance that we're doing through the Carsey Learning program and in country and remote support to CP and GBB coordination. So we are available to support coordination groups in at national and subnational levels at regional levels. And of course in the COVID situation, this is taking place remotely. Carsey of course was set up as with an ability to provide missions, but at the moment we do those missions remotely. Next slide please. So how to request support from Carsey? An email, preferably a joint email by CP and GBB coordinators or other relevant focal points to the CP AR help desk and GBB AR focal point. And you see the two email addresses on the screen now and we will make sure that those are shared. Reach out, ask for support, and we work out how to best support you with anything, everything that has to do with responding and being better at providing access to child and adolescent survivors. Yes. And just one last thing we do need to also acknowledge the fact that our donors Swiss Development Corporation, Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs and USID has provided generously support for the Carsey initiative. So thank you for allowing us to do this very important work. So that was a little introduction to Carsey and how to get in contact with us. I would like to give the word back to Vivian for the next agenda item. Thanks a lot. Thanks Karina for the great presentation on how coordination groups can get engaged. I do not want us to take more time. I would like to invite our Iraq coordination team Bashir Murad, Interagency case management advisor and Hamza Abdul Nabe for them to take us through the next session on sharing Iraq experience on Carsey. Welcome Bashir. Yes, thank you so much. So as Vivian mentioned, I'm from the chapter subplaster and Bashir, me and Hamza will be going through Cassie initiative in Iraq, how it has been implemented that was the achievement so we will go through the background in Iraq, the gaps and then Hamza will be following by the achievement in Iraq, and then we will end up by the challenge that we have. I mean, and then we will be finishing the Iraq session. So Cassie, I mean the specific objective Cassie it's in line with the global objectives. So it was to improve and enhance the quality of access to services for children and adolescent survivors from sexual abuse in emergency. And the second objective was to provide entry agency support to country level, CP and GBB coordination groups. I would like to say that in this presentation we will capture some of the highlighted points from phase one as it was continuous, I mean, continuing from January, January 2018 as the first phase. And then it's followed by the second phase in, especially in Ninoa. So this initiative have been implemented in unbore Salah had been in 2018 2019 and then it follow. And we rule out in Ninoa in 2019 and 2020. Yes. So the situation before Cassie in Iraq, I would like to mention a few points that describe the situation in Iraq before Cassie. So the first one was, I mean, related to the coordination, the coordination between the GBB and CP, I mean, was in place but was not so efficient. So, I mean, like, there was a lack of partnership and collaboration. But this was due to, I mean, the lack of experience by the staff in the field so all the coordination was happened between the coordinator, I mean, the working group coordinators. So the referral pathway in terms of GBB and CP was unclear when it comes to the reform the cases to each other, especially when the children was under 12. So sometimes the CP staff was was describing that this is responsibility of GBB staff and then GBB staff they said, I mean, in many occasion that we need to to Can everyone else here Bashir. No, but we can hear you again. Hi Bashir. Okay, I think he lost his connection. Shall I proceed? Yes, Hamza, please. Thanks. So I will proceed with what Bashir mentioned is that the situation before the initiative was actually like a ping-pong between the CP and the GBB working group, especially in Manawa. So we used to refer the case, the GBB case, underage we would refer it back to the CP and the CP would refer it back to the GBB actor. So this was the situation actually. After that, with the next slide, what we did is that we basically, I'm not sure if this slide is showing now or if Bashir is working on that. I'm sorry, the little city cut. It's Iraq and then it's normal. Bashir, if you can just Bashir. Yeah, if you can just Bashir, show me the first slide. Yeah, if you go back to, yes, again. Yes. So I was in the CP and GBB referral were limited to the CP and GBB working group. This means that, I mean, as a GBB, I mean, GBB and CP working group coordinators, we receive a lot of cases then this kind of referral referring the cases and the knowledge was really on this coordination mechanism, then it was going down. So it was from field to the coordinator of the working group then from the working group to the field again. And this we wanted to see how Cassie addressed that in the following slides. And I mean GBB and CP staff in need of capacity development. So it was clear that they have knowledge on case management in general GBB case management and CP case management. But when it comes to child and adolescent survivor, there was a need to do more of their capacity to improve addressing and responding to this kind of cases in different location and bars Allah had been even in Ninoa. And this I think like Cassie have have achieved something and still we are in need of more capacity to address all the issues. The last point, I mean, before we do have the SOPs for case management should try protection case management and GBB case management. There was a small, I mean coordination between GBB and CP. So we do have some kind of section integrated in both SOPs, but when it comes to the like a guidance document to clarify the rule and responsibilities. There was nothing existing in Iraq. So, I mean, now in the achievement you will see as well that this document have grateful and exchange the experience among the CP and GBB. So we were in need of this kind of document in Iraq. Here I'm at the end of these two things I will hand over to Hamza to continue on the achievement and challenge. Thank you so much. So what we did is that with the support of the Cassie coordinator during her mission to Iraq to Ninoa especially we brought together the CP and GBB actors in one meeting and we discussed that we do have gaps. We do have referral gaps. We do need to update service marketing and agree on a coordination mechanism. So we have reviewed the existing CP and GBB coordination tools that we have and we agreed that we need to work on something. So we have developed the CP, GBB guidance notes on case management which has basically a leading agency and a supporting agency as a selection of the leading and supporting agency that would deal with the case. The leading agency can be key to agility and vice versa based on the need of the case. So it's actually a case by case assessment and a look for those agencies. The concept notes of the initiative also facilitates the drafting of another, let's say, training material or orientation material along with the CP and GBB actors and that was also copied in Ambar al-Haddeen and Ninoa. And the concept notes also can be shared with you guys in Arabic and English as well. For the next slide, what was the impact of the case? Actually, we could still pass this initiative. We could guarantee an only transfer between the staff. So the CP staff was also introduced to GBB coordination. And also, this was also a kind of managing or enhancing the way of handling complex cases. Also, speaking of coordination, NGOs also assigned focal points. So they are, let's say, they did a lot to go about finding focal points for their respective GBB actors and the same thing happened to GBB actors as well. So it's also what an enhanced coordination level between the two can do the actors in Ninoa. Around the 26 GBB management actors from local and international NGOs, operating in Fala-Haddeen and Ambar al-Ninoa, completed the Constellation of Child Survivor training in August 2018. Also, 89% of those actors also came along with all conducted three to two hours follow-up and peer-to-peer assessment. And also, what happened in November and October, and also December 2018. Finally, Kessie was able also to provide technical input and feedback to the interagency CP case management for those actors. Finally, regarding the challenges that we faced in Iraq, so we had few challenges. The major challenges, there was the limited CP and GBB service providers working in the same location. So when we started piloting this test, initially we started in one of the answers in Ninoa. We selected this and because there was CP and GBB actors. And then after the COVID crisis, there was also limited access to those actors, limited access to the camp as well from the staff side. So we also chose to move this initiative to the inside movement. And here we have this challenge with the limited access of CP and GBB actors within one neighborhood. Because this will bring us to another challenge, which is the... Some beneficiaries don't have the capacity or the financial aid to support them to move from this center of GBB to another center of CP. Finally, also survival can not access services due to lack of official documents and also risk of being detained. This was also especially in camp. This is basically mainly the challenges that we have been facing in our experience in Iraq and Ninoa. And I will give it a little thought to Vivian for any comments or questions. Thank you. Thank you so much, Hamza and Basir. These are extremely important lessons that you've learned and that you were able to share with us. Now I would just like to hand over the floor to Niger and Emmanuel Haag from the Child Protection Coordination Mechanism and Anifa. Who's from the GBB subcluster? Please go ahead. Are you both on? Have you been unmuted? Yes. Can you hear me? Yes. Loud and clear. And Anifa will present tomorrow the French version. But he is online. You can see him. Fantastic. Thank you. Are the participants seeing my screen? Great. Yes, I can see you, Emmanuel. Okay. Thank you. So thank you for listening to our CASI experience in Niger. I'm the Child Protection Subcluster Coordinator while Anifa is the VBG subcluster coordinator. So we definitely worked together on CASI. So CASI started in Niger in Defa, so Eastern Niger. Defa was chosen because it's a crisis region with high VBG rates. And the work started there in 2018. So as you can see on this map, the crisis region are now up to three. So the late Chad Basin crisis in Defa, in Orange, and then in Red, Tawa, Tila Berry, the Mali border crisis. And recently Maradi was added with also high sexual violence due mainly to the non-state armed group attacks from Nigeria. Also, just to come back on Niger context, the population is increasingly strongly to reach 23 million of people with a 30-year rate of seven children per woman. So CASI is very welcome in Niger. The humanitarian context is tough with a few actors and also very difficult access to some remote areas. CASI is bringing a high value added wave motivation because of course the efforts from the child protection and the VBG sector are joined. And he brings some new energy in the country to work in one direction. So I won't spend too much time on CASI at a glance because this is a model which is replicated in all countries. So yes, the members of the child protection and the VBG sector work together to strengthen the case management skills of social workers, of course the coordination, and also the sensitization and advocacy on the issue of sexual violence against children and adolescents. I would like to show some of the pictures of the champions and also super champions because they are the ones working in the field in very difficult areas and bringing their skills to bring the right response to the VBG survivors. You can read some of the comments. They are very enthusiastic staff who were really proud to work on CASI in 2019 and to gain more skills. So CASI 2019 results, the police, justice and NGOs offering mental health services were also trained because of course they are the ones in contact with the survivors. At the national level the coordination between the two sectors was increased via various meetings, also tools which were developed, so SOP for child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence and a joint work plan. At the global level I think that CASI is now far more known and also the needs are included in the H&O HRP 2009-2020. So I would like to emphasize the fact that CASI brought high motivation for the staff, so you can see for instance that some WhatsApp groups were formed and this was actually one of the values of CASI because they were able to share experiences, good practices and also I think to share motivation and courage between all the staff spread in the emergency regions. So challenges in 2020, so both sectors decided to focus on basic tools we needed to really make CASI move forward. So for instance we worked on the national mapping of services and the referral pathways. Also the implementation of CPIMS+, and GBVIMS on UNFPS side. One of the other challenges was that ANIFI is double-acting, so the workload is high to make CASI work and of course we need time and resources. And last but not least, the ministry knows about the initiative but there is no real ownership to make CASI move forward. There is a high participation but we lack a bit of leadership on their side. Then COVID hit us, all of us, so the coordination between the two sectors was still working but was slowed down due to health restrictions and the breakdown of regular programs. However, it showed that the child protection and VBG skills of social workers were really needed, especially in this new context. You can see on the graph that the evolution of the number of children also increased, perhaps because of COVID, we don't have the right study today to show the impact of COVID on the number of VBG cases. But definitely we can see that more children are receiving the CASI services in 2020. Now I would like to express CASI need to move forward because this is the main message today. So first, in Niger, we need to assess the need of a child survivor of sexual violence in all regions. We need figures to be able to raise more funds. The second point is that we need to mobilize resources to roll out the initiative, not only in DFA, but also in Tilabiri, Tawa, Maradi, Zander and Agadez, all these border regions which are really under pressure due to the non-state armed group attacks. Then the third point is, of course, HR is needed to make CASI move forward at the field level to really get a result-oriented impact for the children. And last but not least, we will need to encourage national ownership of the initiative in order to make CASI sustainable in the coming years. Well, sorry for my French accent. I hope you understood me. If not, I can also speak in French and Anifa is also here to respond to your question. Thank you. Over. Thank you so much, Emmanuel. I just cannot believe how much, how different the two initiatives are in Iraq and in Niger and how well it is responding to your specific context. The challenges, of course, of COVID-19 is also highlighting perhaps the need, as never before, and you're rightly pointing out that this is something that is additional and that we need to use this as to continue the work of CASI. As it really is putting, pinpointing the issues around sexual violence against a child and adolescents. Thank you so much. I would like to hand over the word to Vivian to take you to the next agenda item. Thank you again for the presentations. Thank you, Karina, for this opportunity. I'm going to present on CASI coordination tools and the examples of tools that we supported on phase two. So next slide, Dezita. Yes. I would like to make a few comments here first before I start off by saying that for CASI, we would like to promote actually dialogue between CP and GBV coordination group to ensure that they work closely and collaborate in providing support to child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence. This is a vulnerable group that falls through the cracks on most occasions because as Bashir said earlier that because they are children, then it means it falls within the mandate of child protection. But because they've experienced sexual violence, then it means again it falls within the mandate of GBV. So in this case, for these children to still get the support that they need as any other target group or the vulnerable group, then it means there is need for dialogue or working closely between the two coordination groups to ensure that the support to these child and adolescent survivors is ensured. For CASI also, we would like to see that CP and GBV coordination group as well as actors in the field locations complement each other in providing support to child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence. And for CASI as well, in as much as we are supporting in developing these tools or supporting in developing of these coordination tools, we do also not want to duplicate or to develop new tools. But in this case, we would like to ensure that the existing tools be it service mapping tools, referral pathways, standard operating procedures and all that, we ensure that these tools have or include child and adolescent issues in them. So in this regard, I would like to us to go through some of the coordination tools that we've actually supported on and for strengthening coordination as Karina said in the earlier presentation. We actually tried to support or we've supported on service mapping and referral pathways. And how do we approach this? We identify the service gaps in these two tools. The service mapping tools, does it include issues or needs of child and adolescent survivor? Does it have ensure access to services for the traditional services, for example, medical, PSS, legal, safety and security and many other support services that child and adolescent survivors may require? If that is not included in the service mapping for those specific countries where we are supporting on, then we ensure that we update their existing referral pathway from the CP side or GBV side. And as I said, we do not want to do a replication. What we do is ensure that it includes. So for GBV, we see whether it does include services for child and adolescent survivors. And for CP, we also look at the same. And in this situation, we encourage for contact persons specifically to support the referral and the receiving of cases for child and adolescent survivors between the different agencies that is provide support to the end, like through the case management process. So at the moment, what we've supported in different countries may not actually be the service and referral pathway, but this is the kind of support that we can provide if a country mission comes to Cassie and say this is the support that we would like Cassie to support us on. We also have the standard operating procedures. The same process is as it is for service mapping and referral pathway. We do it again for standard operating procedures. We identify whether the GBV and CP standard operating procedures in the country have child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence issues included. Does it have specific sections on child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence? Does it include considerations for child and adolescent survivors? For example, the mandatory reporting, best interest of the child, informed accent, consent, confidentiality protocol, among other things. And if it doesn't, then we can see how to integrate this in the existing standard operating procedures for GBV and CP. In this regard as well, we also go with the decisions from the coordination group. What works better for them? For example, some country missions think that we could do an SOP and have it as an addendum in the existing standard operating procedures, or we can just have it as an annex in the already existing standard operating procedures. So that comes in once we are done with developing the specific things in regards to child and adolescent survivors. Here we have a link that to guidance documents on creating referral pathway for child survivors. We also have here a document, a GBV referral pathway that was developed for West Cameroon. It is a directory of service providers, but it does include the specific services for child and adolescent survivors in it. So it's a good example of what I'm talking about. The next slide, Tezita. We also have supported on local service agreements and guidance not for case coordination. So first on the standard operating procedures, we are currently supporting South Sudan on that and we are in the process of having discussions of how best we can include child and adolescent survivor issues in their SOP. So on this slide, we are also supporting on developing local service agreements or guidance not for case coordination. So look at, I think this was presented by Bashir under Iraq, that this is a tool that was developed to support effective coordination of support to child and adolescent survivors in locations where both CP and GBV actors exist. In this guide, actually it was noted between CP and GBV actors in Iraq that sometimes when a case of child and adolescent survivor is identified, it is not clear of who will be the lead agency to support this child. The lead agency, I mean the agency that will take through the child, the case management process, right from the identification intake to closing of the case. So in this regard, this guidance note was developed to give a direction of what is going to happen when a case of child survivor is identified in that location. And who should be referred to in that lead agency to receive the case and ensure that the case is well coordinated among the different service provided for support. Also we've done that, we are supporting the humanitarian response plan and agency knows to ensure that support or we support the GBV and CP coordination group to ensure that the needs of child and adolescent survivors are reflected in the response plan and humanitarian needs overview documents. This I think came in handy and if there are any coordination group that would need support from Kasi on this for 2020, we are happy to support and I think the jail now I've mentioned that actually they're integrating the needs of child and adolescent survivors in the prison HNOs for 2020. Next slide is it another tool that we've actually developed this year is coordination tip sheet for COVID-19. This is a document that that aim to inspire the CP and GBV coordination group to work closely together and even coordinate support to child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence. It encourages the actors, both the CP and GBV to share priorities and develop inclusive working relationship throughout the humanitarian program cycle right from the needs identification to the other processes in the humanitarian program cycle. That document is available there here in this link and we will be sharing this presentation after this. You can always refer to that document. We actually completed the document last week and it is ready and shareable to everyone. We are also planning to have CP and GBV, the field cooperation guidance and actually this has close relationship with coordination tip sheets and it is meant also to strengthen the field coordination, field collaboration and cooperation between CP and GBV are right from the global level to the field level, so this is something in the pipeline. And lastly is my concede earlier, when CASI started two years ago, the objective is actually to ensure that child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence have quality and access to services. And so during this phase two, we thought of going further to do a more in-depth understanding of barriers to child and adolescent survivor access to services and this actually will inform better, our programming better because the barriers will actually make us create a more clearer picture of how to provide interventions to this group of children. It is actually a participatory barrier analysis where we will be engaging children and adolescents themselves through the process of data collection, getting their opinion and also looking into ways of also engaging their parents and their families to further give us more in-depth understanding of the barriers of child adolescents access to services. So we are planning to do this exercise in two countries and we are currently thinking of Kenya and Philippines and the discussions are still ongoing. And at the end of this, we will develop and test a methodology based on action-based barrier analysis. Thank you so much for your time and I would like to introduce the next facilitator who is Jennifer Lee who will take us through the CASI learning program and technical capacity development. Hi everyone, I just wanted to say it's actually Tizita Teclasadik who will be taking us through the CASI learning program. So Tizita, over to you whenever you're ready. Thanks, thanks. We can't hear you Tizita and Jennifer. Yes, I could just hear you then. Thank you. Hello, my name is Tizita Teclasadik. I am a child protection and gender-based violence child survivor specialist based here in California, but yeah, overseeing South Sudanese and Yemen CASI learning program initiative. So I will take you through phase two initiative. I believe on phase one, there have been a lot of sharing of learnings and also like in different platforms, we've been sharing the CASI phase one. So I will be just going through the phase two implementation in particular that we've been working with South Sudanese and Yemen for this specific physical year. So for CASI phase two, I'll be focusing on the technical capacity development that's been led by IRC whereas the coordination piece has been already covered by Vivian. Thank you. So I'll be just focusing on the technical capacity development that we've been providing under phase two. So what are the major pillars of the technical capacity development is we have the 8 months CASI learning program for CP and GBB supervisors and managers. So our technical support goes to them through different capacity building training, a series of coaching sessions, and also different troubleshooting and on job training. And the second pillar is partnership with national NGOs and international NGOs like for this phase two, we have selected two international NGOs and two national NGOs. Fortunately enough, we have two national NGOs who's going to share with us their learning as well. So we've been providing different technical capacity building for international NGOs and national NGOs with this intervention. And the third one is the third pillar is around the global child protection and GBB community of practice. I think you've been familiar, most of you have been familiar with this community of practice which is conducted once in a month. We have also upcoming community of practice which focused on disability inclusion and it will be on September 10th just announcement as well. So it will be a join CP and GBB or join platform. And we have also a global CASI workshop for global technical support and coordination colleagues that will be also started on September 8th and that's also another announcement. And the other pillars of this programming is the coordination of CASI partners. So overall the technical capacity development in particular for CASI learning program we provided for South Sudan and Yemen. So for this up to now, I mean up to this man's been providing different technical capacity building for South Sudan whereas in Yemen we just put on hold having a conversation with CP and GBB as a cluster because there have been different barriers and challenges so far. So we have agreed whether to provide the full package or not. So we've been waiting a cost extension to provide the full package for Yemen. So we just put on hold but we'll resume starting from this month because we have got a green light on the cost extension. So what did we implement for CASI learning program phase two so far. So the first one is case management coaching and supervision training for supervisors and managers. Like the whole implementation started from starting from February. So it's just after COVID heat. So the implementation has been done remotely. So this training provided remotely and it took us four day and each day we've been conducting for hours. So, like we've been trying to find out different technological platforms and we have uploaded our training package on Kaia platform. So many of you are aware it's a humanitarian platform. And with this training we have a participant of around 36 participants, which are comprised of international NGOs, UN agencies which in particular UNFB and UNICEF, and also to from the Ministry of Women Children and Social Affair from the child directorate women directorate office. We have a representation and 17 participants from national NGOs visiting South Sudan. So by the end of the training we have conducted pre and post assessment just to track the knowledge and confidence of participants in terms of supervising case workers in particular. And the follow up workshop has been conducted focusing on in terms of launching the CASI learning program for specifically selected for CASI learning program, which is two international NGOs and two national NGOs, which means for national NGO AIA and UNIDOR. I will be introducing later and then international NGO we have plan international and world vision. So we've been working with them so far. And we had been sharing key partnership principles, which is around equity, transparency, complementarity and other principles so that you can have a binding principle with partners. With that said, we have also signed a learning agreement among participants and it would be binding within the CASI learning program. And in total for CASI learning program, we have 20 participants, we had 20 participants but unfortunately to staff, there was a staff turnover in some organizations and one staff was on leave so 70 participants were actively involved and regularly participated in the training. And the follow up training that we've conducted is caring for child and adolescent survivor training so that that took us almost eight days and each day we've been taking four hours. So it's a very long training that because we've been deep diving and covering the whole piece as we like as we are providing in in person training so we cover a lot and it took us almost eight days. So the training package adapted and uploaded in Google Classroom. So what we've been trying so far to adapt in different technological platform because we're trying our best so that it can really fit into the context. So this time around we've tried the Google Classroom because we felt that Kaia has a little bit some challenge so we tried to adapt that. Out of the 20 participants, again, we have 70 participants who regularly attended throughout the training period and as I said, it's targeted IRC, World Vision and Plan International and from International in Joe and from National in Joe, we have Aya and Indra and they'll share their learning. And the other piece of this project, this program is a sub-award to National in Joe to build their technical capacity and also personal capacities and we've been so far doing selecting the National in Joe's which is Aya and Indra and we've been from the very beginning up to now, Child Protection and GVB sub-cluster in the entire process. So we have selected Aya from the GVB program and CP, from CP we have selected in New York so that there could be equal representation and also a learning exchange from the two National in Joe's. We have finalized the pre-award assessment and it will be soon, the final be released soon. The challenge so far is not about the learning piece in general because we have a lot of learning documentation and I hope we'll share with a big platform about our learning in phase two but it's so far in terms of operation of the internet as you already like, I hope you encountered this challenge whenever you implement different programming so we had a challenge in terms of accessing internet, especially in remote areas and also difficulty in using different technologies and platforms such as Kaya, Google Classroom, Google Classroom, Zoom, Kahoot and Zoom board. We had a lot of challenge and time constraint has been a challenge so far. Layser learned, we have a familiarized participants with technology and platform in advance. That could be really a learning in the future as well in terms of taking time to familiarize participants with different technologies and platforms, engaging participants in regular communication and I believe that that's been very key in terms of engaging and involving partners and that's been really helpful for our programming so far. And we have also learned there is a need for more CP and GBP joint platform. So, I will be going ahead and introduce Aya and Inidio. So from Aya, we have Stella here, she is a GBP project coordinator. She is an agency for those of you who are not familiar with and I have also Kuzi here. She is a protection manager and Inidio is a university intervention and development organization. So I would like to invite Stella. The floor is open for you. That's another one. Stella. Yeah, once again, I'm really glad to meet you in this forum. As I was introducing myself in the beginning, I'm called Stella Minda Jonathan. I work for Active Youth Agency as a GBP project coordinator. Yeah, we are really involved in this policy learning program. So, Active Youth Agency is a national organization. And the vision for Active Youth Agency is to empower, threaten and build the capacity of communities through advocacy and communication. So sure economic activities have and safety education for peaceful coexistence in South Sudan. So this is physically the vision that we have for Active Youth Agency. So operational areas in South Sudan, I am sure most of you know that we have 10 states. So Active Youth Agency is operating in three states. We are in Central Equatoria. We are in Yuba and Lebanon. We are in Western Equatoria. We are in Moondri West, Moondri East, then Bolo. We are in Raya. So Active Youth Agency has 15 years experience operating in South Sudan. So in these 15 years, regarding gender-based violence and child protection issues, we have experience of nine years. Next slide. I have experience with policy learning program. As this has said, we have just completed the capacity building. We had like three, two trainings and then a launching of the workshop. So, as Aya, we participated in the remote capacity building trainings on case management, supervision and coaching. And also we had like a program launch workshop for Cassie learning. We also attended that. And also we have recently attended a training on training for child survivors and adolescent girls. So we are really very proud of that, that we are really strong to where we have the gun now to shoot the watch, the program, with the capacity that we got from these three trainings. So in these three trainings, we understood and learned about supervision skills, attitudes, knowledge, experience, staff care, and well-being. Also, there's some tools that we have shared during the training. So like, as a DBB actor or child protection, we have a lot of tools that we are using. We have case management tools, we have tools for supervision. So during all these three trainings, we really applied a lot of tools that were shared during the trainings. And also as a result, confidence and the power to provide policies for this case workers. So during this training for supervision and coaching, as supervisors, we really gained that confidence and the power to provide these quality services for supervision to case workers. So that in future, or if you expect to implement in the project so that we ensure that our survivors are getting the quality services. So also, during this training, we are equipped with necessary knowledge and skills and able to advocate internally to adopt some best practices, tools, approaches, and standards to care for child survivors and support case workers to deliver quality, case management to children and adolescents, survivors, survivors of sexual violence. So it's the same here and in the training, we had a lot of skills that worked during the training. So with this training, we have a lot of cross learning issues between CP and DBB. So the first one is how they need for regular capacity assessment that includes scale, attitude and knowledge to case workers. So we just learned that they need to do most assessment to stop that and go into the NANDIS project and even other projects apart from CASI project. Also, we learned that this emotional and psychological support is necessary to the child and adolescent as well as the caregiver or family members. Unlike the ones for gender-based violence, gender-based violence mostly will be concentrated in the survivor. But for child protection, you support the survivor and also you meet the need for us to support the caregiver so that they will be able to now support the survivor, to help the case worker to support the survivor. So another point is integrating seven guiding principles of caring for child survivors and child-friendly communication techniques across each steps of case management to working with child and adolescent survivors. So the case management process for children and adolescent adults, we really need to have these techniques across the step from step one up to the end so that what we are providing will be a quality one. So another point is we also learned that at certain developmental stage on each of the child, first-aid caregivers or social workers can make informed consent on behalf of the child when the child is making informed consent. We already know that we have this legal age that the child is allowed to give informed consent because of the maturity in the mind and all this. So it's allowed, like depending on the ages, they can work with the caregivers and then social workers can consent on behalf of them. So from learning to practice, so as we have already acquired the capacity and all the knowledge and skills, so what we are going to do is like what we are integrating the limitation of capacity is that based on learning plan to conduct capacity assessment of case workers regularly and integrate it with existing in-house capacity of plan. Already in the plan, we are going to do capacity assessment, then we will also integrate it in the in-house capacity of plan that we have. Another thing is we also plan to improve the case management by including one-on-one supervision to case workers, group case management, observation, shadowing and also a review of the files. So this is what we are going to integrate when we are doing the limitation of this project. Also, another point is based on knowledge gain on caring for child survivors training. We also plan to put up, like we are planning to do some training to case workers that are under hire and also the ones that are working with other volunteers. So that if we are doing a risk for the children, we are supposed to do a multi-sector risk for the children so that our services will be realized in the community. So this is a plan that we are going to support those other organizations. The next thing is we are going to, like the cooperation and coordination between child protection, ACTAD and GBD Act as we discussed previously was not like that. But when we attended the launching with all the session in coordination, I think when we implemented this project, we are going to strengthen the coordination between these two Actas. So the last slide is a point is previously, I was not like I was referring to children's child survivors to other sectors. But now we discussed the training, we are on the capacity building, so we are happy that we are going to provide like family and quality case management and cases that this is to children and other child survivors in addition. And it was a plan to provide self-care for case workers, really the limitation and discuss the project. Thank you. Thank you so much Stella. Fantastic presentation. We are running quite short on time, but we would still like to hear from Unidor. May I ask please Unidor to continue the presentation but be mindful that we are now, we only have five minutes left. So if you may continue and do that in a very short presentation, we will use the last 30 seconds to wrap up. So please go ahead. Thank you very much. Hello everyone. My name is Kuzanima Tiriira and I work for Unidor as the protection manager in South Sudan. Unidor is a national organization whose vision is to alleviate suffering, resolve conflict, prevent humanitarian crisis and save lives. We are operational in unity states in the following counties, let me end it, coach and the manager in South Sudan and six years working on gender based violence and child protection. Next slide. As the previous presenter said, we learned a lot and I'm going to focus on Unidor's cross learning between CP and GBV partners during the training. On child protection, we realized that mandatory reporting is an exception to the principle of confidentiality. Thus, as case workers and service providers, we have to make sure that we share limited information in order not to violate the principle of confidentiality. We also realized that due to funding constrained in some places and contexts, it is difficult to respond in timely and effective manner where there is no GBV partner and sometimes where there is no CP partner. Looking from the gender based violence actors, we learned that children disclose sexual abuse differently and the disclosure is often a process rather than a single or specific event. We also learned that many cases go unreported because majority of child sexual abuse are interlinked with harmful traditional practices. And some of these harmful traditional practices are the issue of forced and early marriages and many people take it as a normal thing in South Sudan. So it's a challenge of learning into implementation of the sub-award. And then Unidor is both a beneficiary of the CASE learning program as well as the sub-award, which means now that we've finished the learning program, we are now going to implement. And these are some of the theory we learned that we are going to put into practice. We are going to implement action plan for supervision during the CASE learning project period to make sure that the case workers and the supervisors are aware in service. We are going to adapt supervision coaching tools such as shadowing observation to the Unidor context. We are going to arrange one-on-one supervision sessions with case workers because we also learned that if you do it in a group session, some of the case workers might not listen and sometimes there's also disturbance. So we need to focus more and take more time with the case workers with complicated cases. We are going to adapt communication tools and techniques and share with case workers. We are going to have to get further for senior managers to reduce the case log 25 or less per each case worker because previously we realized that we're giving our case workers a lot of cases and at the end of the day they became ineffective in compromising quality. We are going to provide case workers in other mode sector that includes guiding principles, communication, psychosocial support and coordination. All this is aimed at mainstreaming gender-based violence into other sectors. Thank you very much, Shukran for listening. Thank you so much Stella and Kutty. Fantastic work and Stella. So we are now on time but I will take a couple of minutes to just wrap up what we've been hearing today. Thank you everybody who's able to stay. I know it's very busy schedule. Just to remember what we've heard, child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence fall between the cracks. We need to come together as in the protection and in interagency humanitarian response and be better at understanding and meeting the needs of child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence. One key at the moment for us working in the humanitarian world, I know that there are other listeners to this webinar today as well, but is to get this into the HRP. The humanitarian response planning process which is ongoing at the moment. Understanding the needs better, understanding the barriers better and fundraise and allocate the resources together advocate for allocating the resources is absolutely crucial. We heard presentations from Iraq that Cassie was helpful and still lives on. There is knowledge transfer, people, staff and others who were not directly involved in Cassie continue modelling the communication and collective work together. Niger showed us the champions and super champions, multi sector services, SOPs and joint work plan and they highlighted the needs for increased ability to respond, skills and capacity development, resources and national ownership. The Cassie learning initiative is vital because it really provides the nuts and bolts for responding to child and adolescent survivors. So working both for the coordination and building working on the technical ability to respond in case management to child and adolescent survivors is a hand in hand initiative, which we offer to you. So please do come and get in contact with us to support or share your good examples of how you're working because this at the end of the day, like this webinar today, sharing our experiences and varied ways of responding to child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence will inspire and will make us better at actually responding to each and every one of those survivors of sexual violence, child and adolescent survivors of sexual violence do need us to work together on this. So thank you very, very much for listening and being active. Do keep in touch. We look forward to see you in some way or another. Stay safe. Thank you. Do feel free to put on the camera and do they are waving because you spent 90 minutes. And thanks Karina. Please everyone don't forget the evaluation and we'll send the evaluation by by email. Perhaps you can send a link in the chat box already now Karina. Thank you everyone. Thank you. Yes, the evaluation. Don't forget the evaluation. Bye bye. Bye bye. Thank you. Great. Good to see everybody. Fantastic.
