Community based activists that are well embedded in their communities can help scale up whole-school violence prevention interventions. I shared this and other GST early lessons from our RRP Model at the 2nd @AfriChildCentre Conference. @RaisingVoices

[akim aggrey @akimaggrey]

What are you doing to influence research,policy and programs on children?

Today, I once again shared the CoVAC safeguarding approaches for children in violence research with researchers,policy makers,and practitioners at the 2nd @AfriChildCentre Annual Conference.

[Raising Voices @RaisingVoices]

“It's high time for VAC researchers to stop working in silos. We should come together to take the lead in designing harmonized procedures and effective knowledge-sharing avenues”

Our own @akimaggrey writes on the need to safeguard VAC research
