Citizen Voice and Action Effectiveness Study Report 2022- World Vision Bangladesh

This is a comparative research on the effectiveness of World Vision’s Social Accountability Approach (such as Citizen Voice and Action) in strengthening Child Protection services at Local Police Stations. To determine the effectiveness of the CVA, applied to strengthen the police service delivery, World Vision Bangladesh with the technical support from Technical Support Organization (TSO), initiated formative research in July-October, 2021. The study aimed to understand if the CVA application influenced in any way the child protection related services provided by the police stations through their Children, women and Person with disability Affairs Desks. The research team conducted a comparative analysis contrasting the findings from 16 communities sampled from the intervention area - where CVA was applied since 2018, and 16 communities from the comparison area – targeting areas without CVA application.
