The Child Protection Compact (CPC) Romania Partnership is strengthening efforts to prevent and respond to child trafficking and exploitation through coordinated action with government, civil society, and anti-trafficking actors. This resource provides an overview of the partnership’s geographic focus, selection criteria, key interventions, and progress across 20 counties selected based on child trafficking prevalence and vulnerability factors.
The resource highlights efforts to strengthen child protection systems through policy dialogue and advocacy, capacity building for frontline professionals and anti-trafficking specialists, trauma-informed services, targeted prevention activities, and digital safety initiatives. It also showcases the development of Romania’s first GIS-based child trafficking risk mapping tool, which brings together vulnerability, risk, and institutional capacity data to support evidence-informed prevention planning and resource allocation.
By documenting the partnership’s approaches and emerging tools, this resource offers insights into collaborative strategies for strengthening national responses to child trafficking and improving systems that protect children and communities.
