Using VACS Data and Process to Accelerate National Action to Protect Children

This marks the first webinar in the Implementation Science Collaborative’s “Evidence to Policy Webinar Series: Protecting Children from Violence.” This upcoming webinar will have a global focus while subsequent events will examine the contexts of East and Southern Africa and Central and Latin America regions. The series will be co-hosted by Together for Girls; East, Central and Southern Africa Health Community; Universidad de los Andes; University Research Co. with support from USAID’s Health Evaluation and Applied Research Development (HEARD) Project.

With leadership from Together for Girls, this first webinar will focus on the findings from the recently published landscape analysis on “Using Data to Inform National Efforts to End Violence Against Children: Country Experiences and Lessons following Violence against Children and Youth Surveys.” A panel, moderated by Daniela Ligiero, CEO and Executive Director of Together for Girls, will highlight key findings and recommendations, and include commentary from country and survivor representatives.
