The Child Protection NIAF is a conceptual framework that creates a common approach across Child Protection coordination and response actors on the continuous needs identification and data interpretation exercices. It makes use of the existing in country data sources such as the UNOCHA led Multi Sectoral Need Assessments, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), the existing official administrative data, sector specific assessments/surveys, incidents reports etc.

For more information see the NIAF briefing note and the NIAF comic strips (see them also at the bottom of this page).
