During the visit, the delegation discussed the project’s key goals and objectives with the change agents and reiterated their roles and responsibilities. They also listened to the practical challenges faced by change agents in their respective working areas, particularly in identifying cases of sexual abuse and exploitation. In addition, the delegation held constructive discussions with CSO and CBCPC members on various aspects of their work and strategies for strengthening child protection mechanisms at the community level.
