The Care and Protection of Children (CPC) Learning Network partnered with the World Bank to address child sexual exploitation and abuse in World Bank operations. The tools below were developed as part of this project, to operationalize guidance in the Environmental and Social Framework and accompanying good practice notes. These materials were created by child protection experts from the CPC Learning Network based on research, evidence, and experience. All tools have been tested in one or more World Bank-financed infrastructure projects. The materials can be adapted to your specific context and project.
This tool is a product of the CPC Learning Network. It includes lessons learned while supporting the executing agencies of transport projects in Nepal and Bolivia to address risks of child SEA. These projects were financed by the World Bank. The content of this tool does not necessarily reflect the views of the World Bank, its Boards of Executive Directors, or the governments they represent.
This tip sheet describes six core actions that client gender/social/GBV specialists and in-country project teams can take to prevent and respond to child sexual exploitation and abuse around development projects.
