Child protection supplies were distributed to 30,000 children and 6,000 pregnant women and lactating women displaced by flooding. Over 1,400 flood-displaced people received psychosocial support. Forty community psychosocial workers and four counsellors received training, and 300 children and family members were counselled.

A referral mechanism for children affected by armed conflict has been established in 24 districts. Peace and reconciliation initiatives have been organized in 34 districts. Child-protection sub-cluster members in 20 districts have been trained on child protection in emergencies issues. Some 1,000 teachers in 20 most-affected districts benefited from mine-risk education. The government has designed a national strategic framework for assistance to victims of explosive devices. Some 202 child rights violations were documented.
