SUFASEC narrative annual report (March 2023 – February 2024)

The Down to Zero (DtZ) Alliance presents its first consolidated annual report for the Stepping Up the Fight Against Sexual Exploitation of Children (SUFASEC) programme (March 2023 – February 2024).

The initial phase served as an inception phase, allowing countriesto refine their work plans, budgets, resultsframework, and staffing. From mid-2023, the focus shifted to implementing programme activities aligned with the SUFASEC Theory of Change, emphasising three main outcomes: changing harmful social norms and practices, enhancing access to protective assets and environments for youth, and empowering children and civil society to hold duty-bearers accountable.
