The RISE Learning Network

The RISE Learning Network aims to promote and facilitate learning on recovery and reintegration (R&R) approaches that improve outcomes for children and adolescents affected by child sexual exploitation (CSE).

The project is being implemented by , a global alliance of national civil society organisations, , an international NGO working with street-connected children, and the International Centre: Researching Child Sexual Exploitation, Violence and Trafficking, 天美传媒. The project is supported by a grant from Oak Foundation for 2015 – 2018.

The RISE Learning Network aims to increase knowledge and strengthen practice and policy by developing an open, vibrant, locally accessible global learning network.

The unique value of this project, which builds on an earlier project supported by Oak Foundation (www.childrecovery.info) is in bringing together a diverse group of previously unconnected organisations, some of whose work in R&R may be advanced or innovative, but so far only implemented at a local level or focused on one area of vulnerability. Highlighting and examining the policy and practice issues in R&R from CSE, will also enable advocacy on these issues to policy and decision makers.

The project is advised by a global reference group, and built on three regional learning hubs, each with its own regional working group, in: Latin America and the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa and South and Central Asia. The project overall will develop in line with three specific objectives:

  1. To establish and manage a locally accessible global network, utilising global and regional online learning hubs, to support leaning on R&R for children affected by CSE.
  2. To develop and implement three learning projects that capture local learning in order to positively influence policy and practice on R&R for children affected by CSE.
  3. To improve, regionally and globally, policy and practice on R&R for children affected by CSE, by collecting and disseminating the learning from this project.
