The Alternatives to Child Detention Peer Learning Platform brings decision-makers together to improve humanitarian settlement for children across the Indo-Pacific region.
The Alternatives to Child Detention Peer Learning Platform is an informal regional grouping of policy and implementing agencies within the governments of Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Thailand, as well as civil society and international organisations focused on advancing practical progress towards alternatives to detention in the region.
The platform is convened by the Centre for Policy Development, as part of the Secretariat of the Asia Dialogue on Forced Migration (ADFM), as well as with colleagues at the International Detention Coalition (IDC).
The platform was first proposed at the seventh meeting of the ADFM in Bangkok in November 2018. Participants identified a regional grouping on this issue as beneficial to progress towards alternatives to detention in the region.
