Children in Europe and the Central Asia region have faced increased protection-related risks in recent years due to the consequences of unresolved armed conflict, civil unrest, large scale migration, and natural disasters.

Increased child protection risks occur in the context of significant numbers of children facing conditions of exclusion, marginalization, social, and economic inequity.

The course explains emergency child protection programming in Europe and the Central Asia Region.
