Description: Case management is often a preferred response to address multi-layered vulnerabilities and complex needs of children and their families as it allows for the integration of services from different sectors and collaboration between professional groups to meet children’s and family’s needs.
Case management is relevant for all thematic areas within the broader child protection field. Prevention and adequate responses to violence and abuse against children include intervention from several sectors, such as justice, health, education, and social welfare. Early detection and identification of children at risk often require active collaboration between social services, the education system, and the health care sectors.
Rationale; Despite the investments in case management system design and implementation, at the global level there is limited evidence of success, failures, evaluations, and research for accountability and learning. 21. The absence of evidence may reflect that case management systems are country-specific so far that the eventual success of systems depends on services available through the systems.
The evaluation aims to examine the extent of high-level national government efforts to implement data / research-informed case management programming. This exercise is a starting point for the UNICEF MENA Regional Office to analyse how it can best support national efforts on case management system design and implementation in the region, identify opportunities for evidence generation, and implement strategy and programme improvements at the regional level.
