Definition & calculation
Count unique girls and boys who received at least one child protection service (case management, structured PSS, child-friendly space, family tracing) during the period.
Means of verification
Case management records, child-friendly space registers, activity attendance sheets
Interpretation
Direction: Higher is better
Typical reporting frequency: Monthly or quarterly
Guidance & common pitfalls
Disaggregate age into meaningful child bands (e.g. 0-5, 6-11, 12-17); count each child once to avoid inflating reach across multiple activities.
