    IN 2019, WHOLE CHILD SUCCESSFULLY PIVOTED ITS PROGRAMMING TO AN ONLINE PLATFORM IN COORDINATION WITH ISNA (DEPARTMENT OF CHILD WELFARE IN EL SALVADOR).

  • Protection and Quality of Care for Salvadoran Children

    DURING 2022, THE PROTECTION AND QUALITY OF CARE FOR SALVADORAN CHILDREN ACTIVITY CONTINUED TO GATHER PARTICIPATORY EVIDENCE FOR DECISION-MAKING AND TRANSFORMATION OF THE CURRENT PROTECTION SYSTEM AND OF THE EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE PROGRAM IN ISNA. IT CARRIED OUT RESEARCH ON GAPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS, AND AN EVALUATION OF ISNA'S EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM. THE RESEARCH BROUGHT TOGETHER THE KNOWLEDGE AND PERSPECTIVES OF ACTORS WITHIN THE PROTECTION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD SYSTEM. THEY OFFERED THEIR INPUTS AND MADE OBSERVATIONS THAT WILL SERVE TO PREPARE FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE LAWS, REGULATIONS AND SERVICES THAT AFFECT THE QUALITY OF SERVICES THAT CHILDREN AND YOUTH RECEIVE WHEN THEY ENTER THE CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM.
