About the project
International Alert is a leading peacebuilding NGO, with 30 years of experience in preventing violence. We have been working in Lebanon since 2008. Our thematic focus areas include peace education and non-violence education, youth participation, gender equality and addressing the underlying causes of conflict related to human rights abuses, gender inequality, social and economic exclusion, and insecurity. Alert is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and consultants to share this commitment.
The Ending Violence Against Children project aims to increase the capacity of schools and learning centres to reduce violence against children and generate evidence of the effectiveness of various approaches. It is implemented primarily in the Bekaa and Tripoli where partner organizations operate centres that offer non-formal education and psycho-social support activities. The project will generate evidence through action research on effectiveness of approaches to addressing violence against children, including school-based, learning center-based and community-based approaches. Prevention and response to violence against children is further strengthened through supporting partner organizations and their learning centres to improve their existing capacities, update, and fully adhere to child safeguarding policies.
