Economic poverty is one of the key drivers of child protection risks. In in order to meet basic needs, very poor households may be forced to resort to negative/harmful coping strategies, to reduce household expenditures (ex: school drop out, child marriage) and increase household income (child labor, sexual exploitation or forced recruitment). Covid-19 is further exacerbating economic vulnerability and associated risks by preventing individuals from generating income (due to lockdown or quarantine), increasing debt at household level, depleting their assets, and/or incapacitating income generators

This interactive tip sheet highlights why, what and how to integrate CVA and CP during the Covid-19. It provides key programmatic elements and links to relevant resources to inform the design and implementation of integrated programming. The tip sheet was developed to address most of the questions raised during the webinar hosted by the Child Protection alliance on ” Multi-Purpose Cash Transfer and Child Protection: A Case Study from Colombia”.
