About the survey

Save the Children International is implementing a project on Strengthening Child Protection in Africa Union Peace Support Operations in East and West Africa. Through this project we are developing an online platform that aims to consolidate information (data, training materials, partner updates, events and workshops) on child rights/protection in peace support operations in East and West Africa so as to harness our joint collective efforts for better decision making, learning together and facilitate the building of a community of practice. The system will support work by peace support operations stakeholders (trainers, trainees, all agencies involved in protection of children and civilian in armed conflict and the African Union Peace and Security Architecture). Information gathered in this survey will go into the designing of this knowledge management platform.

We kindly enlist your input in this process by completing the following questions in this survey. If you have any clarification please get in touch with Anthony Njoroge (anthony.njoroge@savethechildren.org) and/or Evelyn Namvua (evelyn.namvua@savethechildren.org). The survey will close on 31 Aug 2015.
