Definition
Multisectoral actors: these include formal, indigenous, and non-formal justice authorities or professionals, social workers or detention facilities staff, psychosocial professionals, migration experts, police officers, civil society staff, university students, community members, etc.
Specialized capacity development: it can include online offline and hybrid methodologies. Its duration or format (course, session, program, etc.) could vary. It needs to be provided by a Tdh and/or Tdh’s partner competent specialist on child justice-related topics.
Child justice: it is essential that the capacity development action focuses specifically on child justice themes as the core content and hence directed to learn how to better understand the rights, the situation, and interventions with children in contact with the law (i.e. children suspects, accused, victims and witnesses in any justice proceeding across different jurisdictions).
How to collect & analyse the data
| What do we count? | Tdh counts individuals, those who have received the capacity development action as learners/students/trainees. |

Limitations and precautions
While the indicator counts individuals, proceeding with a knowledge acquisition check is advisable (see collection methods and tools suggested above).
To be included as part of the indicator, and if the capacity development is not entirely addressing child justice, the learning action needs to include at least a complete session specifically dedicated to child justice. Otherwise, it would not be counted as specialized (e.g. if children in contact with the law are mentioned across several other children’s groups only).
It is important to verify that the actors counted have finalized the capacity development action in its entirety.
What further analysis are we interested in?
What is the prevalence of actors (per type/professional background/others) interested in receiving specialized capacity building on child justice?
Are trends emerging by gender and type of capacity development action (format, duration)?
Are some categories of actors more committed/successful in terms of learning acquisition?
What are the most requested child justice contents for specialized capacity development?
What are the recurrent issues in terms of knowledge acquisition (what content may pose some problems)?
