1.      
Background

 Plan

International is a humanitarian and child rights organization with no
affiliations to a certain religion, government, or political interest. For more

than 75 years, Plan has been making its contributions in assisting children who
live under poverty and violence by collaborating with society, organizations,
and governments.In
Indonesia, Plan has been present since 1969, under the MoU with the Government
of Indonesia. Plan works in terms of dealing with different issues on child

poverty existing in Indonesia in such sectors as education, health, protection,
participation, economic development, water and sanitation, disaster risk
management, and child-centered community development (CCCD).From
2009 to 2011, Plan International Indonesia had initiated an approach to
overcome the issue of violence against children through a 2-year project named
Community Based Child Protection (CBCP), which was developed in Rembang
District, Surabaya Municipality, and Timor Tengah Selatan District. The output
of this CBCP approach is a mechanism of child protection based on the
community, which is named Kelompok Perlindungan Anak Desa (abbrev. KPAD,
en. Village Child Protection Group). After the completion of CBCP project, this
approach was then replicated internally within Plan International Indonesia in
9 Unit Program areas (Kebumen, Grobogan, Rembang, Dompu, Soe, Kefamenanu, Sikka
Lembata, and Nagekeo). CBCP is now utilized as an approach in child protection
projects, such as Down to Zero and Yes I Do!, which were designed in order to
build a system of child marriage prevention and child commercial sexual
exploitation in the 22 villages and kelurahans of 4 districts (Lombok Barat,
Lombok Tengah, Sukabumi, Rembang) and 3 municipalities (Surabaya, Jakarta
Utara, and Jakarta Timur). The
KPAD is a collaborative working group set up at the village/kelurahan level,
involving all elements that have concerns in child protection, including the
government, civil organizations, community leaders, children groups, and other
elements involved under a mutual agreement. Each KPAD in each village may have
different structures. However, in general the existing structure is built to
implement the main functions of KPAD, namely: preventing violence against
children, receiving and responding reports of violence against children,
referring cases of violence against children within the referral system
existing at the sub-district and/or district levels, and conducting advocacies
at least at the village level to promote the provision of policy, budget, and
program supports for child protection.In
the Plan International Indonesia’s 2018-2022 Country Strategy provisionally
proposed, the approach applied by Plan International Indonesia in the context

of child protection is through CBCPM, as mentioned in the Decide and Thrive
Program. To provide inputs to the implementation of CS 4, it is thus important
to acknowledge the effectiveness of KPAD through an evaluation of its

effectiveness.For
a broader interest, the result of this evaluation will also be used to
contribute to the support of the 2016-2020 National Strategy on the Abolishment
of Violence Against Children (Stranas KPTA).2.
