They can be volunteers, community workers, outreach workers, animators, community members and leaders, child protection committees, child led and youth led committees.
Capacity strengthening activity: Any activity that aims to enhance understanding, knowledge, skills, practices of actors on one or several child protection topics based on defined learning objectives. These can be: training, workshop, learning events, conferences, etc. It can be delivered in different forms: face to face, online, training of trainers, self-paced e-learning, etc but should include at least a basic curriculum with a clear learning agenda and learning objectives (one off webinar cannot be considered a training, nor a 2h meeting).

Limitations and precautions
This indicator only measures the number of people reached and should not be confused with indicator R&E11 (% of supported actors who report a positive change of practice) which goes beyond and measures the impact in change of practice.
What further analysis are we interested in?
This indicator can be analysed together with indicator R&E 11- improvement practice CP actors, as well as together with other interrelated capacity strengthening activities and outcomes.
