This framework recognizes both the centrality of children???s protection to UNHCR???s work and the growing body of practice and expertise in the child protection sector globally. The Framework broadens UNHCR???s understanding of and engagement in protection of children. It articulates six goals that encapsulate UNHCR???s commitment to protect and realize the rights of children of concern to the Office, and offers practical guidance on how to achieve them. To monitor the framework???s use, UNHCR will initially guide its implementation in eleven countries (Chad, Ethiopia, Egypt, India, Kenya, Mexico, Rwanda, Sudan, Thailand, Uganda, Yemen), with additional countries to follow in 2013.
