Working closely with partners, Tdh intervenes indirectly in 16 other countries. The Regional Office in Budapest has been operating since 2006.

The project strategically articulates 3 types of interventions (knowledge management, capacity building and advocacy) around a regional network of professionals and agencies, supported by an online platform.
Child Protection Hub enables networking and professional cooperation among stakeholders in European countries. It increases opportunities for upgrading knowledge and skills and generates a process of continuous improvement of practices through training, peer-to-peer exchange, an online library or resources available in 8 languages.
The project is led by Terre des hommes’ Regional Office in Budapest and benefits from strong partners in 9 countries. The project was launched in January 2015. Today the Child Protection Hub has 5,000 members, a library of 22,000 resources, 5 online courses and 70 webinars organised.
