The Exchange. Your go-to for community-led child protection.
The Exchange is an initiative which collects, shares and promotes evidence, learning and other resources for community-led child protection.
It started life in 2010 as part of the Interagency Learning Initiative on Community-Based Child Protection Mechanisms. More than 15 years later, in 2026, the Exchange still collects and shares diverse and emerging resources and thinking on community-led child protection and community-led approaches for development and humanitarian responses.
If you are interested in learning about and implementing a community-led approach, please also visit The Exchange’s sister site: Supporting community-led child protection – an online guide and toolkit.

The Exchange is powered by Freedom Strategies, based in Johannesburg. Freedom Strategies is a global consulting company that supports work focused on community- and people-led solutions. For more information contact the Exchange coordinator: [email protected]
