Child-Centred Accountability and Protection Evaluation (CAPE)

The Child-Centred Accountability and Protection Evaluation (CAPE) was a multi-institutional project focused on measuring the impact of child protection services and programs addressing sexual abuse and exploitation.

The CAPE project, funded by the Oak Foundation, focused on measuring the impact of child protection services and programs addressing sexual abuse and exploitation.

Using child and youth friendly monitoring and evaluation tools, the project sought to understand the meaning of risk, protection, and well-being from the perspectives of vulnerable young people in Brazil, Colombia and Thailand.

Specifically, the project sought to: 

• Better understand current “good practice” in monitoring and evaluating child protection services and other child protection related programs.

• Develop and test new monitoring and evaluation approaches that place children and their families at the centre of programming and policy development.

• Promote better ways of measuring the impact of child protection services and programs on the lives of children.

 

The CAPE project led to the development of a guidebook for involving young people in monitoring and evaluation systems. Some of the child and youth friendly monitoring and evaluation tools offered in the CAPE guidebook are the following:

 

1) Web of Protection for Children and Youth

2) Child Protection Community Rainbow

3) Social Mapping

4) Child and Youth Engagement Spidergram

5) Protection Case Scenarios

6) Child Risk, Protection and Vulnerabiltiy Survey and Poimapper application

7) In-depth interviews

8) Engaging Young People in Data Verification and Analysis
