Abstract

The Nossal Institute for Global Health, School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne, together with Macquarie University and in-country research collaborators, was commissioned by Save the Children (SC) to undertake a regional situational analysis of child protection systems in Fiji, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu.
The aim of the situational analysis was to understand recent changes to the socio-ecological context in which violence against children occurs in five Pacific countries and to suggest potential strategies for SC to strengthen child protection systems, particularly at the community level.
This report presents data from a literature review, as well as primary research in each country. This includes engagement with over:
•52 child protection stakeholders in interviews and 64 in online surveys;
•179 caregivers in focus group discussions and 148 in online surveys; and
•153 children aged between 8-16 years in focus group discussions (including child led research in Fiji and Solomon Islands) and 39 in online surveys.
