Under the CP program, the IRC aims at increasing the access of vulnerable and at risk children to quality, specialized individual and group-level protection assistance. This is done through the provision of life saving services such as case management, legal assistance, focused psycho-social support and risk mitigation activities for children survivors or at risk of abuse, exploitation and neglect including out of school, working children and children in conflict or in contact with the law. In addition, caregivers are targeted with parenting and awareness sessions.
