Activity/Agenda Discussion /Highlights Action Points/Recommendations
I. Preliminaries: Opening prayer Introduction of participants

IV. Presentation of Core CPiE Programming and Review the Core Commitments for children in Humanitarian Action
CPiE
Ms. Rohannie Baraguir of UNICEF showed a video clip on that depict what children protection in emergencies is. Among the identified CP concerns are:
1. fear amongst the children 2. family separation 3. child exploitation 4. vulnerability risk of children to trafficking

Joint Regional Child Protection Gender-based Violence After Action Review: Marawi Conflict
She also highlighted the impact of emergencies on child protection:
1. new risks and threats to children (early marriages, gender-based violence, and grave child right’s violation)
2. existing risks and treats are exacerbated
In the context of Marawi crisis, about 98% of Marawi City is devastated while Physical structures are damaged
She also underscored the relationship of the core areas of CPiE programming to the Core Commitments for Children. Some of the cited are:
1. Prevention of and response to physical harm including landmines/explosive remnants of war (ERW) (Standard 7/CCC 8).
2. Recruitment and use of children by armed forces or armed groups (CAAFAG) Standard 11/CCC 7).
3. Monitoring and reporting response to unaccompanied, separated, and orphaned children
Conclusion: 1. CP is one of the areas of responsibility of
protection cluster 2. CPiE is recognized as key life-saving sector in
humanitarian actions 3. CPiE is a complex sector encompassing a variety
of humanitarian interventions 4. Interventions not only address specific risks
