These dashboards reflect the humanitarian and resilience responses of more than 200 partners, including governments, UN Agencies, and NGOs, involved in the 3RP response in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Achievements are cumulative from the start of 2015, while targets are based on full funding of the 3RP and an expected 4.27 million refugees by end-2015.
REGIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:
Child protection activities remained a key component of the protection response this month. In Lebanon, the child protection sector began a contextualization process to adapt 11 standards of the Child Protection Minimum Standards to the Lebanese context. A validation workshop is planned in January 2016 to endorse the standards, which will then be used, under the Government's leadership, for planning, advocacy, capacity building and fundraising purposes. In Jordan, Information Sharing and Data Sharing Protocols were finalized by the Child Protection Information Management System Task Force in order to support safe and confidential sharing of child protection case management data for protection and programme purposes. In Iraq, an awareness campaign - "18. Not before. Not forced." - to prevent and fight child marriage in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (KR-I) was launched in cooperation with 14 international and national non-governmental organizations, the United Nations, the Governorates, and the affected communities, targeting and involving teachers, sector leaders, mukhtars, authorities, religious leaders, volunteers, parents, youth and children. In Egypt, 3RP partners, in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, began rolling out a national programme on positive parenting, which first entailed the training on positive parenting skills of 358 front-line workers, including primarily health case workers, paediatricians and staff of the MoH.
The sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) sub-working groups in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt continued to develop or revise standard operating procedures and referral pathways, train key partners and services providers as well as provide survivors with access to safe, confidential and quality multi-sector services. In Lebanon, specialized service providers benefited from two sets of training to enhance their skills in understanding and recognizing the factors that may make persons with disabilities more vulnerable to SGBV. In Iraq, protection actors are finalizing the SGBV referral pathways in urban areas hosting refugees in the KR-I. In addition, a training of trainers for 30 staff of the Directorate General for Combatting Violence Against Women took place. In Egypt, two art therapy days benefitting 109 survivors of SGBV with a platform to openly speak about their experiences were organized.
