A delegation from the University of Hargeisa visited the Child Protection Centre in Stavanger, Norway, where they received a comprehensive briefing on the Centre’s mandate, organizational structure, and integrated services dedicated to protecting children’s rights and promoting their well-being. The visit provided an overview of the Centre’s operational procedures, intervention mechanisms, and multidisciplinary approach to child protection.

During the visit, the delegation toured the facility and observed its child-friendly environment, gaining first-hand insight into the Centre’s day-to-day operations. They learned how the Centre assesses and investigates child welfare concerns, provides support to vulnerable children and families, and collaborates closely with schools, healthcare providers, law enforcement agencies, and other key partners to ensure children’s safety and well-being.

The visit served as a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and institutional learning, enabling the delegation to better understand international best practices in child protection. It also reinforced the University of Hargeisa’s commitment to strengthening education, research, and professional collaboration in child welfare and social development through global partnerships.
