Protection of Refugee Children in the Middle East and North Africa

This report highlights, against a background of relevant international guiding principles, a range of good practices undertaken by States, non- governmental organizations (NGOs), and other partners across the region, together with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to respond to the protection needs of refugee children, guided by the bests interests of the child. It is intended to provide examples of successful interventions that can bring about tangible progress in protecting refugee children. Despite the variations in contexts and needs of refugee children throughout the region, many of the examples can be replicated and scaled up to achieve a greater, longer-term impact on the lives and protection of refugee children.
