 Hello everybody. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Really good to have you here with us at this session of the Global Protection Forum. Today we are looking at demystifying cash and voucher assistance and child protection. We're going to be a really interesting session today with colleagues from Shafak, Save the Children, Plan International, and the key objective for this session is to look at what are those key barriers and how do we address those in terms of the uptake of cash and voucher assistance, in particular when we're seeking child protection outcomes. So this session will help familiarise all of you with the resources that are available, and it will also cast a spotlight onto several countries work in this area. So I'm just going to briefly take you through the agenda for the session. So I think that's the next slide please. So we will start with an introduction to CVA and CP, and just to make sure we all know what we're thinking about today, and then we'll focus in on those countries, Peru, Syria, Uganda and Cambodia. And then there will be a chance for discussions to get into those smaller groups in the breakout rooms, and they will be language specific. So you will be able to select a breakout room in a language that you would like to discuss in, and then we will finish the session. We have a few little housekeeping tips and things that we're wanting to see happen at this session. I've just realised I forgot to introduce myself, which is very rude, so I apologise for that. My name is Jim Robinson. I'm the global coordinator for the Housing, Land and Property area of responsibility within the Global Protection cluster. So I'm really pleased to be here and apologies for not introducing myself before, and you were wondering who is this mysterious presence on your screen. I'm back to the housekeeping. So you will all be very familiar with Zoom, I'm sure, but just to sort of re-emphasise some of the features of today. So ask your questions through the chat process. You can use the reaction buttons to applaud, to smile, to celebrate, to thumbs up. And this session is going to use polls to get your views. We're going to use breakout rooms and also Jamboard to collect your insights as well. And we would ask you to stay on mute in the plenary. If it's possible, keep your video on throughout because it's lovely to see the faces of the people that we're in a session with. But then once you get into the breakout rooms, then mute off, please, you know, get involved, discuss, be present. I know sometimes bandwidth can stop us being able to have our video on, so of course just do what is possible. As was mentioned earlier, there's interpretation available. We have French, Spanish and Arabic this morning, this afternoon, this evening, wherever you are. So if you would like to have interpretation, then I think you collect the little globe sort of sphere with lines on it down in the bottom there. And then you can choose the language for the interpretation that you would like to hear. Similarly, if you would like to be in a language specific breakout room, then if you could just take a moment to rename yourself. So you can see on the screen there if you would like French, put the letters FR before your name, Spanish, SP, AR for Arabic. So yeah, so please do rename yourself so that that allows the production team to put you in the right breakout room for the language you would like. And there is also a live transcript available in English. So if you click either the CC button, it's next to the interpretation at the bottom for closed captioning. Or in the more button, I think there's a show subtitles option as well. So hopefully you will find what you need in that. Okay, so next slide, please. So we're going to start with a poll just to get the sense of who is here and what their work has been on CVA and child protection. So the first question, have you ever implemented cash and vouch resistance for child protection outcomes? That's a simple yes or no. And so you just click there in the yes or no box. And the second question, how confident do you feel designing and implementing cash and vouch resistance programming for CP outcomes? So just choose one of those. Do you feel very confident, confident, unsure or very unsure? So we're just going to get a sense of who's here today and what your experience has been with cash vouch resistance and child protection particularly. So we'll give you a moment to answer those two questions. And then we will see what the results are. It's quite exciting. I'm feeling the tension building a little bit. Wondering, what percentages do we think? I mean, I almost want a poll to try and guess the results of the poll, but I don't think that's going to happen just now. Great, how are we doing? How much longer do we need, do you think? Yeah, it's slowed down. We've got about 65%, 146%. 148%, okay, just jumped. Come on, let's hit 70%. Okay, look, I can see 234 participants on there. Now I know not everyone's going to be able to or it's possible to answer the questions, but I'll give you 10 more seconds to put your answers in there. It's anonymous, so you can say if you feel unsure, for example, but you're not sure if you're allowed to feel unsure. Sometimes that is the case, but yeah, so do please answer that and then we will go to the results and see how we're doing. Right, well let's see, shall we? Julian team, let's see what the outcomes are. Okay, so have you ever implemented CVA for CP outcomes? Yes, 24%, no, 76%. Now that's exciting, isn't it? Because that means there's a lot of people here who are going to be learning about this stuff and haven't yet actually been able to do that, so that's really exciting. So that's going to be a really interesting session. And the second question, how confident do you feel in designing and implementing these programings? So again, a small number of you very confident, about a third of you confident, and then about half of you that are unsure, and then a few more that are very unsure. So again, feels like what great learning opportunity this session is, it's brilliant to have you all here. And for the record, I would put myself in the know on the very unsure brackets as well. So I'm really pleased to be here and to be hearing from some people who've got really great experience with this stuff. So thank you all for participating in that poll, and that's really helpful for the presenters and the other organisers to know who's here. So I appreciate that a lot. And I'm now going to hand over to Anita Carrasa, who's the Global CPI specialist with Plan International. And Anita is going to give us an introduction to cash and vouch resistance and child protection, which from the look of the polls, it's going to be really good for everyone to understand a bit more about that. So over to you, Anita. Thanks, Jim. Can you hear me well? Is that okay? Okay, perfect. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening everyone. I'm very happy to be with you today and welcome everyone and very nice to meet you. As Jim said in the next few minutes, I will share with you some background information on the linkages between cash and child protection. As you probably know, a significant proportion of humanitarian assistance has been given in the form of cash. And as the prevalence of cash and voucher assistance has increased within humanitarian responses, the CPI sector has looked into possibilities to capitalise on the benefits of using cash to achieve child protection outcomes. As you can see from the slide, cash and voucher assistance has indeed the potential to achieve positive protection outcomes for children and their families. Particularly in situations where economic insecurity is limiting the access of children and families to services and goods that they might need. And also in situations where economic insecurity is preventing families from responding to their basic needs, thereby increasing the likelihood families will rely on negative coping strategies. Despite cash and voucher assistance can play a role to achieve child protection outcomes, perceived child protection and safeguarding risk associated with cash are limiting its exploration within child protection programme. It is true that the introduction of cash and voucher assistance may cause child protection and safeguarding risk. However, there is no evidence showing that those risks are greater when using cash compared to other assistance modalities, such as for example in kind. And also we know that risk associated with cash are related to context, age, gender and diversity. So in reality, if appropriately designed, cash and voucher assistance shouldn't pose any risk to children and may in fact contribute to achieving child protection outcomes and responding to child protection concern. What we need to do is the child protection actors need to work together with cash actors in order to assess possible risk that might be associated with cash and also they need to work together to define strategies that could mitigate against those risks. Lastly, there is unfortunately very limited evidence on the use of cash as a tool to improve child protection outcomes. I think we are improving on this point, but we still have a lot to do. Based on recent evidence reviews, it seems that the number of well designed studies is very limited. And also recently some of us, we took some time to consult with child protection and cash practitioners. And most of them I like that one of the biggest challenge to implement, I was saying that one of the biggest challenges according to cash and child protection practitioners to implement integrated approaches as to do with their inability with them not knowing how to monitor the impact of cash and voucher assistance on child protection outcomes. So once more, cash and child protection actors should work together to generate reliable evidence and to really increase our understanding on the applicability of cash within child protection programme. Next slide. Thanks. You have heard me talking about child protection and child safeguarding risk. I'm sure that many of you are familiar with the terminology. But I just want to be 100% sure that we are on the same page. When we talk about child protection, we refer to programming to prevent and respond to abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence affecting children in different settings. It can be families, communities, schools, institutions. When we talk about child safeguarding, we refer to measures, policies and mechanisms that our organisation establish to keep children and more generally people we work with safe from intentional or unintentional harm caused by people contracted or linked to our organisation. It can be staff, it can be volunteers, partners, consultants, etc. Next slide please. What's next? As Jim said, we will be hearing from our colleagues working at country office level. We will share with us their experience in working on integrated cash and child protection programming and by doing so they will introduce some of the recent cash and child protection resources. Thank you so much. I'm now going to hand over to Laurie. Thanks. Thank you so much Anita and Jim. And like Anita said, we want to make sure this is interactive so we're going to open, we're going to do a mentee now. And you should see the mentee link come into the chat box hopefully soon. The question for the mentee there it is in the chat box is to ask you what risks do children face that cash and voucher assistance can help to mitigate. So this is anonymous. But if you click on the link in the chat box, you should be able to type in some responses to this question. I will give it a few moments before we get started on our first spotlight. Great. So we're starting to see different elements come in, early marriage coming out. That's great. So we think cash can mitigate child labour, sexual exploitation, malnutrition, child labour coming out really strong. That's great. Recruitment, access to education I see coming out as well. So we're all agreeing that we think cash can play quite a significant role in addressing risks that children can face. So we're now going to hear a little bit more from one of my colleagues David Pelico, who works in cash assistance, focusing on safeguarding homes in vulnerable situations. He works with Save the Children in Peru and will be presenting in Spanish. So I'll hand over to you, David, and if you can get the PowerPoint back up. Thank you. Grasias. Si, buenos dias con todos y todas. Si, mi nombre David Pelico i soy coordinador regional Lima al proiecto de ayuda monetaria en Perú. I'm going to present this opportunity about what it has to do with safeguarding homes in attention and effective transference. As a knowledge, the policy of safeguarding homes has been published in 2019. And it is translated into different languages to ensure that the document is ready for everyone. And what it is also looking for is to analyze the risks that can arise in effective transference throughout the program cycle. The next slide please. Thank you. What is also looking for the objective of the project is to provide assistance in emergency to Venezuelan migrants in situations of vulnerability and risk in Peru in order to provide basic needs along with complementary nutritional interventions to improve the practices of nutrition that have been with children for less than five years of the Venezuelan migrant families in Peru. The next slide please. The next slide please. The process of attention cash con sistema de salvaguarda has to do with the first point that is capacity and salvaguarda. That is to say, to guarantee that all staff of children, our providers, mainly financial ones with whom we work, understand and accept and meet the commitment of not abusing, not doing harm and putting the risks of our beneficiaries, to also guarantee that the reporting procedures and answers before a situation against childhood are clear and known to everyone. The next slide please. The next point has to do with the evaluation and risk mitigation. In this aspect, what we are looking to do is to review the risks of risk activities, apply what is applied in the surveys and requirements for the risk mitigation actions of the salvaguarda for the family with which we contact at the moment and start the whole process of what the transfer is in effect. The next slide please. The next point has to do with the point 3 with the implementation of the call center virtual. It is a system that is free and accessible for the beneficiaries. It allows a safe communication for the staff because the staff is able to make calls that are recorded, can be supervised and it has a line for reports, for example, to inform on the date and now that they can accept to charge the benefit, it has a line for reports of salvaguarda managed by a psychologist to give an answer and content. The next slide please. The next slide please. It is a software that helps to recover data and we use it for the evaluation process. In addition to cleaning tools that help to collect data and we use it for the process of assessment and drawing from homes. COVO is a digital platform, all that info is stored in COVO but the staff is access to the data collected the contact to the first contact to the possible benefits we conduct through call center who register through a link that reaches a Felly, yma ydych chi'n credu ein holliffreth o'i wath.

Yn y gallwn gweld y diwethaf, Please do, if you've got feedback or comments, it's great to see that. Thanks, Robin. Yeah. Okay, great. I think we can probably close that poll if that's all right and project it. So what we see a lot of the time is that there is this belief that cash poses a greater risk than other modalities. And what we find is people are hesitant then to use cash assistance over an in kind distribution. And so we've spent a lot of time kind of in the interagency space looking at how do we address this and how do we understand exactly what the risks are and how we mitigate them. And research has shown that actually cash is not necessarily more risky. But exactly as Robin was saying in the chat box, it's different risks potentially that we need to consider. So without further ado, I'm going to hand over to Ibrahim Javish who works for Shafak and can speak to maybe how we looked at some of these risks and how we monitored this in Syria. So over to you, Ibrahim. Thank you, Laurie. Can you hear me well? Yes. Good morning. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Brian Javish. I am working with Shafak Organization as protection and program manager. We are based in Turkey and responding to Syria crisis. So we are going to look a little bit more into details at the component of the M&E toolkit. And as you can see on front of you, there are mainly three tools that have been developed. The toolkit was published in 2021 and they are available now in English and Spanish. And hopefully you will see the Arabic and French translation very soon. So the aim of the toolkit was to support in identifying child protection risks and mitigation strategies as well as to monitor child protection outcomes. So you will see on the chat a link to the toolkit so you can access directly and get those interesting tools. Next slide please. Yes, as I mentioned, there are mainly three tools and there is like another tool. It's a kind of guidance note on how to analyze the data. But the main tools are free as you can see on the slide. The logic of the toolkit is mostly divided into two steps. The first one is before any kind of CVA starts and the second one or the another one is after CVA has started. We are going to talk about the first tool which is focus group discussion tool. Can you please go to the next slide? Yes, this toolkit is structured to be used as focus group discussion. But still it can be used as GIIs using or key informant interview using a case study where you can see inside the toolkit that tool a menu of case studies and you can select what is most relevant to your context. This tool is to be used by CB actors, child protection actors, cash actors and meal actors as well. And to be used with adults and caregivers within a community that have a good understanding of what are child protection risk in that community. As I mentioned, it has been designed to be used before CVA starts. Ideally it's one month before starting any form of CVA. This tool will help to identify potential risk and help you to identify actions to mitigate those potential risk and make decisions about a program design prior to starting the implementation. The second tool in the next slide, this one is a survey tool to be used by all actors. This is not like specifically for child protection but still can be used by child protection actors. This is to be used after CVA has started with adults, caregivers who are receiving CVA as part of humanitarian intervention. The idea of this tool that is provide real time information on child protection risk and benefits and then this information can be used to inform adjustment to the way that CVA is being delivered. The first time that should be run should take place between 7 and 30 days after CVA has started. This tool will help to determine if the cash and voucher assistance has contributed to protection outcomes. It will inform adaptation of cash and voucher assistance to improve outcomes for children. It will also identify risk to children caused by CVA as they arise and will identify strategies to mitigate those risks to children caused by CVA. It will also monitor the effectiveness of this mitigation mechanism that we have in place. This tool is recommended to be used several times to throw out the life of CVA. The third tool and the last one and this also is more adapted, this tool is more adapted for programs that have case management component integrated into cash and voucher assistance. Through this tool we can collect similar information to tools too but this one is specifically or to be contacted by case managers or child protection staff. This tool has been developed to be used by CB team with an idea of interviewing adult caregivers who are receiving case management support as part of child protection programs. This tool also will be used or to be used to collect information after child cash and voucher assistance has started at intervals throughout life of cash transfer. Similar to tool number two, this will help to determine if CVA contributed child protection outcomes, inform adaptation to cash and voucher assistance to improve child protection outcomes and will identify risk at identify mitigation measures. This tool will support us in making decision on mitigation risk as they arise and monitor the effectiveness of mitigation measures. Next slide please. As I mentioned we have been involved in the piloting phase of this tool kit. I remember at that time there was a project with the children. It was child protection integrated to cash and voucher assistance and we thought that it was a good opportunity to pilot the test and pilot the tools because there was no, there was a lack of tools in our response. Next slide please and one more please. I would be talking here briefly about our journey in working with the M&T tools. We started with the adaptation. Actually this phase is the most important phase. It took a lot of work because now it's a global tool and we had to adapt it to our context. We are based in Turkey and our field team in Syria. There was a lot of discussion back and forth and we did a workshop also with the team to give their input and feedback. Of course after we translated it into Arabic because our local language is Arabic. Through the adaptation we looked at mainly adjusting the instructions and the questions to be used in the focus of discussion and the surveys and then we finalized the Arabic translation. Then we moved to selection and training of enumerators. Also it's like an important phase and an important step. We selected the case workers who have been involved in case management and CVA because they are familiar with the cases and know well the community. An important point here is that selection should be diverse from different capacity, gender consideration as well. At that time we were just starting a new project and we selected a group based on each requirement of each tool. We selected people from the community, selected people who have been involved in case management and received support through case management. Then we started to conduct the survey and focus group discussion. At that time it was the beginning of the breakdown of COVID-19 and we took all the documentation measures into consideration. For the location of the focus group discussion, as you can see in the tools, you need to take into consideration the safety of the location, the accessibility, the privacy and also adherence to safeguarding standards. After we finished or finalized data collection, we started the analysis using the tool number four, which is the guidance on how to analyze the data and we involved our MEAL team on the analysis of the data. There was also some interesting findings. The majority of the people reported that they have been from CVA assistants, many families sent their children back to school. There are also some risk raised by the community about the distribution motility. Some people would refer our agencies, some people recommended to be in hand distribution. We talked all this recommendation and issues into consideration when we designed the next project. That's all from my side. I will hand over to Laurie again. Thank you. Thank you so much, Ibrahim. It's so great to hear how these tools actually get used and really interesting about emphasizing the point of adaptation and that that requires quite a bit of time. So we've heard from colleagues from Peru, colleagues from Syria, thank you so much. Just to say that the resources are being linked in the chat box. The French and Arabic resource for this toolkit that Ibrahim was speaking of, we have in draft version, so we are happy to share that with you. You will see an email address in the chat box that Hannah.Rachel.Thompson at gmail.com. If you just reach out there for the draft versions, we're happy to get kind of feedback on the translation. So we can now move on to our next poll. So if we can put that up. This is another true or false poll. And our point here is risks associated with the introduction of cash and voucher assistance are related to context, age, gender and diversity. I'm seeing responses come in. Maybe give it a few more seconds. And if you have any additional thoughts on this, it would be great. Feel free to put it into the chat box as well. Okay, I think we can probably close that there. So really interesting me and we had 94% of people say that yes risks are associated with cash are related to context, age, gender and diversity. And then we had 6% say that they don't think the statement is true that risks associated with the introduction of cash and voucher assistance are maybe not necessarily related to context, age, gender and diversity. So on all risks in all programming related to these factors. Yes, so, and we're going to hear a bit more about that. And how, how we have to kind of mitigate these really specific risks, considering the context we're working in, considering the age of the participants in our programming, the gender and the diversity. So without further ado, I'm going to hand over to Christopher Foghav, who is working for plan in Uganda. Thanks Christopher. Thanks so much, Laurie. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening everyone. I am Cagawa Christopher, I'm a monitoring official officer at the National Uganda. I'm very happy to be with you today and present this particular event. Plan International Uganda has been working on gender protection in my disadvantage on the north. For over five years in the areas of large money. Yw ymbe, mae diolch o lawr teriogol, responding in South Sudan, regional crisis in refugee settlements and most communities. Currently, plan Uganda is implementing a project that is building on various areas for protection of refugees and most communities. In this presentation, we will explain more about the CVA, refugee risk assessment, key findings and mitigation strategies with a specific focus on adolescence. We did conduct participatory exercise to identify the risks, mitigation strategies and relevant information through focus group discussions with different categories of men. Such as adolescent girls, adolescent boys, adolescent infrastructure and adolescent caregivers and mental leaders. We did come up with a process which was to help us undertake the risk assessment. We had to undertake a number of tools and from that we had to train our international staff who acted as enumerators in both BPD and Renault Camp Reef Discipline. After the training, we had to pre-test the tools before moving to the field and conducting risk assessment and exercise. After collecting and documenting all the information from the refugees, we did analyse it and group the key findings through focus categories. Next slide. Next slide. Okay. Thank you. We did identify the risks and categories that do focus categories. One, we looked at potential and child protection risks. Under this, we identified sexual and gender-based violence, physical and emotional violence, say social distress, family separation, family separation. For example, CVA could be a good factor in a way that would be a good care giver to burden their children so that they can benefit from their assistance. We also identified economic and sexual exploitation if there is no commentary. We also did identify access risks. These risks were associated with severe modalities and deliverable mechanisms. A case in point, community members including variable children and families who may not be having mobile funds, a transfer of mobile money mechanism will be very, very hard. We also realised that community members are not fully registered in the UNCR to be very, very vulnerable in this case and they couldn't be easily registered and to receive support via cash. So this could not support everyone. We also identified a risk of fraud and cash reimagining. In this case, cash engineering for adolescents will be a better care giver for their personal gains. On the other hand as well, cash may be used for intended purposes by adolescents, maybe drug abuse. It might be drug abuse, maybe diversion of cash to other gambling kind of conflicts or spending. We also did identify family and community relations. Under family and community relations, we did realise there could be tensions coming up between caregivers or siblings. This may exist but also there are also possibilities of community tensions and violence from the neighbouring communities and also the community members as well. Next slide please. In addition to the risks, we identified a number of mitigation strategies. One, we identified counseling and guidance to the caregivers. The counseling and guidance was given to the child and the caregivers on how to use the cash. Based on the needs identified in the case plan but also considering on ways how to alleviate tensions in the household. In this case, the case work was to be assigned to guide the family on how best to use the cash based on the needs assessed but also linked to the family to other life skills as well as conducting it. The other factor in monitoring is the use of the cash. Under monitoring, this was to be done by the caregiver to ensure that the child's needs are being covered. In this particular case, our routine monitoring and consistent follow-ups will be very clear during CP implementation. On the other hand, post distribution monitoring will be conducted and this will be done by the MRD team. The coordinator's case workers will also think whether the severe internet beneficiaries receive the correct amount of money during the cash expersion. We also identified community awareness and cessation. For internet awareness cessation was to avoid jealousy from the neighbouring communities during CP implementation. Thus, transparency, openness and confidentiality will be taken up in high regard for recommendations in the community. Therefore, community leaders, village leaders and leaders ultimately will be involved for safety, safety and protection services among the CDB officials. Contrary to that, communication will be done intensively with the national local and stakeholders, the community leaders, so that they can help to clarify misunderstandings and disputes just in case. This is to ensure the community understands the consequences with NFRAP but also with spent throughout the project cycle. The other one, we identified complaint and feedback mechanism as a mitigation strategy. This was to be designed in a way that the implementation and designing of a free mechanism is in two places. And this was allowed beneficiaries to communicate in an easy, efficient, peaceful way through feedback platforms, through traditional boxes and also by road lines. We also did identify a flexible design. This area was specifically allowed flexibility in the design by using clearly verifiable beneficiary targeting criteria. For instance, this was to ensure the benefiting criteria is carried out and transparent and the path is packed away with accurate and identified bacteria in order to reverse free design. This reverse were followed, but this was ultimately to give the city beneficiaries some flexibility. Then as we move forward, we had other ones was a clear targeting criteria. Definitely for us were to use community based targeting across our process. This was to help us to reach tensions in the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, but also to develop a clear exit strategy to help us minimize or limit expectations from our colleagues and beneficiaries in the community. As I conclude my presentation, this together with other activities such as market assessments done on an external risk analysis. Philip has planned to design our standard operating procedures for the implementation of the cash component, but also risk assessment analysis will continue being embedded in our ongoing monitoring and follow up actions we are doing. This will be done by the case workers through post distribution monitoring team as well, but also we do on that regular engagement activities at the level. So we hope to keep you posted on how severe implementation process will be done. I would like to end here my presentation. Thanks so much. Thank you Christopher and Anita over to you. Yes. Thanks Christopher and thanks Anna already share the link to this report in the chat. I would like to take this opportunity to share with everybody that there is an evidence review which has been published in 2020, which collates findings from program using cash to achieve outcomes for adolescents across sectors. So not just for child protection, but also for education, health, nutrition, etc. And the report provides recommendation on how cash can achieve outcomes for adolescents in humanitarian settings. The report is available in English, but if you need version in French and Spanish, you can be in touch with myself, I will put my email address in the chat. Thanks. Thank you so much, Anita and Christopher and Christopher we really look forward to hearing more about how this gets rolled out in Uganda. So if there are any questions do feel free to write in the chat box we've got people monitoring that as well. Otherwise we can go on to the next slide and this will be our final poll for today. So one last true or false question. Children and their families risk spending money on unnecessary items. If cash and voucher assistance is unrestricted. And a few more seconds. Really interesting findings coming out. Okay, great. Thanks. I think this is our largest response yet. Okay, thanks so much. So we have really interesting results for this, that 58% people said yes we think children and families risk spending money on unnecessary items. If we don't restrict cash. We have about 42% saying false that it's not a not a large risk or not a risk that they'll spend on unnecessary items if it's unrestricted. And this is a conversation that comes up quite a lot with kind of the move being towards having unrestricted cash assistance. So what we have is an example next from Cambodia and this is a video from a USAID funded project family first react. And we'll see kind of how the family has decided to spend their money and then can come back to this discussion afterwards. So without further ado please feel free to share the video.

Alfredo makes a really great comment in the chat box that cash gives families the options of what to buy according to their needs as they emerge. So it's a more dignified way, and we believe that families know what their needs are. Of course, I think there was a comment in the chat box about that there might be a risk that there's a disagreement about what to spend the cash on. So we've developed a few tools to support that that I'll ask Hannah to put in the chat box, helping families to make decisions about their cash and to consider the different needs of the different family members. Oh, great. Thank you, Hannah. So this was a really, really fantastic example from from Cambodia, and we do have someone from the Cambodia team in on the call so if they are questions specifically to that. Please, please feel free to put that in put any questions in the chat box. And we can now please project the PowerPoint again. We you've heard from quite a few of our colleagues around the world. We're hoping now that this has prompted some thoughts in your mind and some points for discussion. And so we're going to break into four different. We're going to break into quite a few different rooms, looking at one question each. So the first group we're going to ask you to discuss what are the challenges and risks associated with implementing cash and voucher assistance for child protection. So we've discussed some of this already. And kind of what what do we want to keep an eye out for. How have you overcome if you've done this work how have you overcome certain barriers to using cash for child protection outcomes effectively. So if you've done this work, what are some mitigation measures you would think about. And the next question we're looking at is what benefits do you see to integrating cash and child protection. And knowing that maybe there are some risks, but knowing that it is not necessarily riskier than a distribution, what are some benefits we'd like to explore. Or that we think will be a result. The last question we're going to look at is what information and guidance would you need to design and implement cash and child protection programming. We're always looking to find out about what is that gap that needs to be filled to to help us increase the evidence and to help us really achieve child protection outcomes with cash. And thank you so much so in the chat box you're going to see we've got jam boards. Please feel free with whichever room you're in to go in and just add your comments directly. Please feel free to add in any language. We will be able to translate it. And we will give about 15 minutes just less in the breakout room so we can open those up now. Okay, can I just add really quickly. You've all been assigned although only a handful of people actually said what language preference they had. So there are three rooms, one room for Spanish one room for French and one for Arabic so if you prefer to be in those, you can move yourself into one of them, or just ask a facilitator, or call us for help and we can help move you into the room of your choice. Okay, off you go. Will we get moved. Julie sorry. You should be. Yes. Okay. Sorry, there's 30 rooms so it might just take a minute. That's fine. That's fine. That's fine. I was just worried if I'm meant to be selecting something that I'm missing. And I couldn't see it. That's fine. Everyone that's putting their their languages in the chat. I was going to say unfortunately it's a little late for that at the moment but if you are in the wrong room. When, when you get moved will sort it out afterwards so there's no there's no need to put your language in the chat. Interesting. Okay, bear with me one second. I keep opening it and it keeps closing it automatically bear with me one second to see what's going on here, because we don't have that many rooms. Okay. Sorry, bear with me one second. This is, I'm just going to recreate them. Oh man. I'm going to do it a bit differently. I can explain earlier but just people are still I think putting their languages in the chat if people can rename. Yeah, it's okay if they're putting it in the chat just leave it in the chat. There's there's not much we can do about it now so if they're commenting it's okay. I have to put it in the chat doesn't it won't do anything. Second, I've just recreated them. Let me just rename them again. I'm not sure I've never had it not just open and be fine. Technology, our favorite thing. Usually it works. When it works, it's great when it doesn't. Okay, you know what, I don't want to waste your time so here. I don't know what to do because you're all Q1. Just to say to everyone, or if I could please ask cat to repace the Jamboard links in just so they're at the bottom for everyone. Yeah. Thank you. So we'll be inputting into Jamboard directly so do feel free to open up these links, you'll know which group you're in in a moment. It will be in the room name, which group you are in. Thanks, cap. No problem. And I suggest perhaps suggest that while we're waiting to go into the rooms people can start entering in the Jamboard if they'd like. They don't know which room they're going to be in. Is the issue. Hang on just one more. I do apologize for this because there are 30 rooms and I just need to rename all of them with your questions. Okay, I do see people already clicking on those links. That's great. And so you can if you are interested, stop inputting some ideas in whichever question was interesting for you. Amazing. I already see some requests for guidance and information coming up. That's fantastic. I see some creative drawings. That's also fun. Can I just add if people are one to it, I don't have your email address. If I if I can ask people to put their email addresses because I don't automatically have access to email addresses. So if you can just pop those in the chat when you're asking me for materials, then I can forward them to you and or email me directly in my Gmail and I can get back to you with the resources that we have. Organised. It's not great. For an info, I don't think the rooms are actually set up yet. It's not working yet. So we'll you won't see it yet. Sorry, you won't be pissed when you're there with me. Organisers facilitators, if you can, there are now 40 rooms instead of five rooms for well 10 rooms for each question. Because I've not had enough time to go back and rename them all room one through five. So if you can just go to your questions because you've actually all been moved around and I'm sorry to say interpreters just don't go. Because it seems to want to move you as well now. I'm so sorry about this. I'm not sure what happened. So I'm just going to repeat that for the interpreters just in case interpreters please do not accept the invitation to join a breakout room. Don't worry, Julie, we're getting some great feedback regardless. Excellent. Oh, I'm so glad because this is, this is like my nightmare. Tech nightmares are some of the words. Okay, so you're going to have an invitation pop up so just accept the invitation, but interpreters do not accept the invitation. And facilitators move yourself to your question rooms. Okay, this will work. It's just a bit more of a headache than we anticipated so off you all go have a wonderful conversation. I don't see it Julie. No, it's not. It keeps closing. I think Julie maybe let's not worry too much about it. Can I can we post the Jamboard links in again. Yeah. And maybe we could project the PowerPoint that has the questions and please just go to the Jamboard you find interesting if you want to add some comments in. And then we're going to kind of be gathering ideas and any other feedback and you can also put in the chat box. And I'm seeing some really interesting posts that's going on the Jamboard already where people are saying they're ready working on things or if they're asking for resources or if they're saying they've got experiences we'd love to be in touch so do please. When you're adding a post it note pop your name on I know it's anonymous and that's fine if you want to leave it anonymous but if you're wanting to share experiences wanting to stay in touch going forward. Please put your name and or your email address on them on the post it note you're adding to the Jamboard, because then we can can we chat afterwards, because we'll be able to keep these Jamboards and and stay in touch if if you're wanting to. So pop email addresses in the chat if you want resources contact us directly we've popped up popped our email addresses in the chat. But also do feel free to pop your contact information in the Jamboard because they're anonymous at the moment the post it notes in the Jamboard. And Laurie I don't know if this would be interesting, but would you like me to share the screen of one of the Jamboards maybe we can discuss discuss what's happening on the boards. Mm hmm. Yeah, I can put those up I've got them do you want to start with question one. I think maybe let's give people just a couple minutes. Yeah, and also I've asked the interpreters. If it's okay to translate the questions again so people know which, which room they want to go into because the titles are just in English. Oh, okay great thank you. So let's give three or four minutes and then let's start projecting thanks everyone for your flexibility. And I'm really not sure what's happening. We've had 1000 people in breakout rooms. Sorry cat. I think you're saying the same thing. Just so you know, if the first slide is too full, skip into the second slide and you can fill up the second slide it's the same question. Each Jamboard it's just one question. So, feel free to just skip into the next slide. And I'll have to use slide one. And I have noticed that there might have been a few people that have joined since we started this session and mentioned that they're unsure what's going on so we're not in groups at the moment we are just working in this space. The reason why you didn't hear anything is because everyone is working on the links that I've just reshared in the chat. In a moment or two we will be going over the responses that everyone has been putting in the questions there. I think we might need to end what was meant to be a group discussion because we have a few minutes left and we would like to try to summarize the main input which were given per question. So, may I ask, is it possible to show the Jamboard for question one? I know it might be a bit difficult to navigate this Jamboard. Okay, and if possible may I ask, I think it's Hannah. Well, we have to Hannah, Hannah H. Can you please provide? Thanks. Sure. I don't know if you have the challenges and the risk associated with the implementation of CVA for child protection. Thanks. Absolutely. So we have a couple of themes that seem to be emerging here from this board. The first one is around sort of a concern around a misuse of cash, whether that's either cash not being used for children, or being misused due to a lack of financial literacy. So there's a couple of concerns there around misuse, however that is defined. There's another selection of concerns that are around risks that it poses to the recipients or the beneficiaries of that cash. So we've got things like risk of abuse, people receiving cash or exploitation. And then also responses from other community members, so maybe either jealousy or stigma attached to those people receiving cash from other members of the community. That seems to be a concern for many. And then there's also a separate group of concerns around the sustainability and tendency of giving people cash. So whether it's a sustainable solution provides long term impacts, or whether it's going to lead to a cultural dependency amongst beneficiaries. Another concern is around corruption, quite a lot. Not sure on the specifics of that, because there's just the word corruption written in many cases, but fraud and corruption around cash. Maybe whether that's around concern within the agencies distributing the cash, or maybe with the financial service providers, or maybe with the beneficiaries a member of the communities. Who'd be at any level, I guess that concern. And then the last concern. Well, another concerns around that it is hard to measure the outcomes of cash, particularly if that cash is not restricted, so not sort of a voucher for a specific good but it's hard to see what the outcomes that might be particularly in regards to child protection outcomes. There's also been a couple of concerns raised and I'm not quite exactly sure how these fit in, but just to flag them around sort of marriage or child marriage. I'm not sure if that's people saying because we didn't hear them saying that they think child marriage might increase cash distribution, which would be potentially interesting. I'm not sure what people are saying, but just to flag that back there. And then also armed groups were mentioned as well. But I assume that means there's a risk to the beneficiaries through theft or something like that. They are receiving cash as physical cash. Those were kind of main groups that I spotted. I mean, if anybody wants to add anything, please do. Thanks, Hannah. And we could move to the next question. Yep. Next question is, yes, I'm just going to read the question following some requests in the chat. Next question is how have you overcome certain barriers to using cash for child protection outcomes effectively? Hannah, over to you. Thanks. Yep. So I've just sort of read through and please do add the group who's been putting comments in there. But to summarise some of the ways in which people have been talking about overcoming the challenges. There are a lot around strengthening competencies and staff skills, creating coordination and involving different stakeholders. So CVA and child protection staff and colleagues so that they both sort of understand each other's sets of needs and wants and priorities better and can implement better. And there seem to be various post-its also about the subject of monitoring and repeated risk assessment and sort of maintaining that understanding of what is happening, how it's being implemented. And I guess with the assumption that we have to adjust the way in which the cash and voucher assistance is designed based on what we're learning about how CVA impacts on child protection. And then there's a point made about communication, adapting communication, having outreach communication and being clear, especially with communities and adapting your communication strategy so that people understand what the cash and voucher assistance is and how to use it. And then there was a point made about family plans to support them in understanding the sort of income they, well my understanding of the post-it note was to support them to understand what income they have and how they should plan the spending of their money. This does reflect on some of the tools we've mentioned, so the meal toolkit can support that ongoing monitoring, it does have some risk identification strategies in the different tools in the focus group discussion guide. And then we also have this money matters toolkit that can help with that family planning and a kind of nudge families into making choices and how they use their CVA. Is there anyone else who added to that jam board who wants to highlight anything or to flag if I've misunderstood their note. Go ahead, go ahead, Olivia. Yes. I see a couple of points highlighting the potential complications around transferring cash directly to children and whether children have access to mobile phones and they're able to receive the cash on their mobile phones or not, which will depend on the legal framework within a given country. And, you know, in some cases, you might look at guardians or somebody else receiving the cash on behalf of the child, but there are a couple of points about that. Thank you. Sorry, they must have come on after. Yeah, there's new guidance. We'll share some more links just after this. I'll copy and paste them in after we're done with these breakout rooms, but there's a number of different guidance documents already out there. Also that forthcoming so we'll highlight what's forthcoming that can support that process of assisting directly to children. Desiree raised her hand, she might have something to add. Yeah, please go ahead Desiree. You want me Desiree, I don't know if. Bonjour chers collègue. Bonjour. Oui, excusez-moi je vais m'exprimer en français. En ffait, il y a également volais acceptation de la communauté. Parce qu'il ne faut pas oublier que dans certaines communautés ce n'est pas aux enfants de prendre la charge des adultes. Et donc quand cela doit arriver il faut aussi que la communauté accepte que on peut autonomiser la communauté à travers les enfants. Que ce soit par les groupes parce que je pense que le plan le fait très bien, on a les gouvernements d'enfants, on a les comités de fill et tout le reste. Mais si on n'a pas une acceptation de la communauté on n'aura pas une pérennisation de l'activité. Il faut également prendre en compte des éléments des personnes en mouvement que ce soit les réfugiés les déplacer. Parce que vous arrivez si on vous fait du transfer. Il y a des pays où il faut avoir un certain â je pour pouvoir avoir une carte. C'est cette carte qui vous permet de pouvoir avoir une puce. Donc si on va faire un transfer par exemple par téléphone, ça ça peut être limitatif. Ça dépend du type de transfer qu'on veut faire. Mais maintenant ces personnes qui sont en mouvement n'ont pas toujours une bonne connaissance du marché. Donc on peut, parce que nous préalablement dans notre travail on a fait une étude. Mais maintenant quand la personne se retrouve dans le marché, elle peut ne pas forcément pouvoir se retrouver. Et ça aussi c'est des mécanismes sur lesquels il faut travailler en amont avant de mettre en place le projet. C'est important et même pour la sécurité de ces personnes qui sont en déplacement. C'est important de prendre cela en compte. Surtout quand c'est des enfants qui sont seul, comme des enfants n'ont accompagné ou bien parfois les enfants sé paris. Merci. Je vais essayer traduire tout mais je suis pas sûr que j'ai tout capté. So I'm going to try and translate what Desiree said into English but I'm not sure I could call anything. So Olivia and Anita if you've got anything to add in the translation. No worries because we could hear it on the English translation. Perfect. Thanks Anna for trying. I see other colleagues have raised their hand. I'm so sorry but we might need to move to the next question. Really apologies for that so Paulina I hope maybe you can write your question in the chat to your comment in the chat and we will get back to you. Sorry for that we have a few minutes left. I think we can go to the third question. Iduad I think the next question is for you maybe we can just wait for this. Yeah sure so while it's while it's loading I'll just read out the questions so what do you see the benefits of integrating CBA and child protection. So there's a wide range of different inputs but I think that they can roughly be categorized into kind of two or three areas the first is around the broader benefits of CBA. So there's a wide range of ways of integrating dignity and choice to to those that receive that cash and deciding how it's used to mitigate whatever risks they determine are a priority, whether that be risked at their child or otherwise and also just simply the basic needs, which in many ways, and is implicated here can kind of indirectly mitigate risk if basic needs are met or responded to that can contribute towards general mitigation of child protection risks. There are others that are slightly more specific so there's mention of ensuring that children can attend primary and secondary education that they can decrease mental and physical abuse. And also, there were various mentions of child labour as something that can be prevented or mitigated through the use of cash so some more specific examples of mitigation. The third perhaps degree stepping back a bit from those specific elements is around the flexibility of cash and voucher assistance so it can be used either to to prevent and mitigate child protection risks, or in certain ways to respond to those risks as of when they arise, for example through the use of individual protection assistance in the form of cash, or it can be used to indirectly mitigate child protection risks. So for example then as we saw in some of the examples previously the video from Cambodia as an example. Leveraging CVA for example for livelihood outcomes that can indirectly mitigate child protection risks again by diminishing child labour or simply enabling a family to sustainably meet their basic needs. So quite a broad array of comments but I would have, I would categorise them in those three three rough areas. Thanks for inputs everybody and anyone else who'd like to contribute. Please feel free. Thanks Edward for this very useful early cap. And let's move to the last question please. Great question was on tools and guidance which is needed. And I will then go to Laurie. Thanks Laurie. So there's some really great suggestions in here around practical implementation. How do we choose the modality. What do we need to do to make sure that it's going to be safe and secure. How what are the budget implications. We also saw some requests around capacity building. Well as complaints mechanisms and further monitoring and evaluation tools. And then actually seeing what is the evidence what is working what is not which would build off of those monitoring and evaluation tools. There's some other great suggestions but for the sake of time I will stop there and hand over to Jim to close us out. I might be a little cheeky and intervene very quickly. Just some thoughts on forthcoming documents that will be available so people to keep their eyes on the Sailor Children Resource Centre website and plan internationals website. And so I've just put the link for the UNHCR Gardens that is available on on supporting child protection through CDA in the in the chat. But also there is forthcoming some learning modules that will be available online and in a face to face format. Looking at implementing CVA for child protection and how you prevent child protection risks associated with CVA, where the process of developing those and rolling start rolling them out at the end of the year. There is forthcoming guidance on see a child and cash and vouchers assistance for adolescents across all sectors. So any kind of sector response that you're expecting or outcomes you're wanting. There's forthcoming guidance that's available in giraffe form if you contact us on giving CVA to unaccompanied minors and childhood households. And there's one fourth piece. The monitoring toolkit for. Yes. Again, if you contact us, we have this draft version of a monitoring toolkit that would be for you for engaging adolescents in the monitoring process. Sorry, I'll now hand over to Jim. Sorry for my interruptions. Thank you everybody. Yep, we're going to close the session now. Just to say thanks for what amazing engagement so much good stuff coming through. I mean, what a great session. It's been fantastic and the way people rolled with the slightly changing format as well was fantastic. So, yeah, just to say thank you so much for everyone and their engagement. I believe there might be another slide that has some contact details on just to check that if people want to email directly. And I think emails have been going in the chat as well through the session and the protection cluster will contact you to ask for your feedback on this session. And you can see that the web page as well to see what else is going on. Two more events are on today. One that I'm hosting, so I will promote that. But what is secure enough good practice to enhance women's housing, land and property rights in humanitarian response. That's at two o'clock. Century European time, so do join us if you can. And later on there's a session on digital technology and anti trafficking action in crisis a practice view on opportunities and challenges. And that's on 1600 century European time. And if you go to the global protection cluster website, you will see the chance to register just like you did for this session. But yes, that was it really for me just to say thanks so much for your engagement and a really wonderful rich session. And I hope you have a good rest of the day. Thanks so much for all the support team and for amazing organization.
