Research and Development

Whether side-by-side or internet’s apart, our Research and Development (R&D) wing is always a hub of activity - a multi-talented group of sector experts and academics working towards an integrated care and support system across all levels of a child’s life.

We call it the War Child Care System - a set of core interventions designed to address the various needs of conflict-affected children and communities worldwide. The Care System takes a socio-ecological and holistic approach, taking into account the social environment of the child; their peers, families, schools and communities. Each intervention varies in intensity to ensure a wide scope of needs are met. Everything we do adheres to strict quality standards and is continuously tested to reflect the changing situation on the ground.

The importance of robust evidence-based interventions will only continue to grow in the years to come. We will continue to invest in research to change the outlook of conflict-affected children, drawing on our relationship with leading universities and research institutes.
