Youth Excel: Our Knowledge, Leading Change Protection Policy Desk Review

This Desk Review serves an important function in the creation of a Protection Policy for Youth Excel, providing a foundation upon which to build the necessary protection and safeguarding protocols and policies for Youth Excel programs and activities. The aim of this Desk Review is to identify and review existing key global, regional, and national standards, resources, approaches, and actors on youth protection, while bridging protection strategies and standards made for children and adults for the youth demographic. Further, it will serve as a master reference list so that all documents are organized and easily accessible to all team members with corresponding summaries and takeaways of each key reference. It is meant to serve as an internal reference that may be updated throughout the development of the policy and procedures.
