In Cambodia, 66 percent of children experienced physical punishment and/or psychological aggression by caregivers in the past month (CDHS, 2021-2022), and 11 percent experienced online child sexual exploitation and abuse (Disruptive Harm Study, 2022). UNICEF works with the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans & Youth Rehabilitation (MoSVY), Ministry of Interior, other Ministries, and in-country NGO partners to strengthen Cambodia’s child protection system so that children are protected from harm. In 2021, MoSVY, with support from UNICEF Cambodia launched the Child Protection Information Management System (CPIMS) dashboard to visualize 50 child protection indicators. This was a culmination of work that started in 2018 and which included the mapping of the CPIMS in Cambodia and development of the monitoring framework for child protection.

As part of the CPIMS initiative, UNICEF Cambodia also supported MoSVY to establish and implement the Primero case management system that offers government social service workers a tool to facilitate case management for children who are at risk of or experience violence and other child protection concerns in any setting. **The dashboard provides for the first time key child protection related data in one platform, which is enabling policy makers and service providers with monitoring and evaluating effectiveness of child protection programming as well as planning and decision making.**

In 2020, UNICEF Cambodia decided to implement Primero, an open-source case management system for humanitarian protection and social welfare workers. This year, UNICEF Cambodia partnered with ONA to also develop a Canopy-based dashboard to visualize child protection-related indicators across its information systems. Instead of requiring staff to manually report on key indicators, UNICEF invested in a solution to automate reporting, minimizing the time it takes for data syncing and eliminating human error to ensure timely and quality monitoring data.

This year, UNICEF Cambodia collaborated with OpenFn to implement a custom and flexible automated data sharing solution that enables reporting from Primero to a Ona canopy-based CPIMS Dashboard on key results of case management and services at a low cost–eliminating human error to ensure timely and quality monitoring data. To automate the Primero-to-CPIMS dashboard integration, on a scheduled basis according to MoSVY’s specified reporting cycles, OpenFn extracts relevant data from Primero, aggregates and calculates indicator results, and syncs data to the CPIMS dashboard. **This solution empowers MoSVY to:**

1. securely share cleaned, anonymized, reporting-ready data extracts publicly for better monitoring, trend analysis, programming and planning
2. make indicator results automatically available for further visualization and analysis by caseworkers, donors, and partners

3. analyze its impact across provinces in Cambodia
4. easily scale and expand its reporting by implementing this solution in other countries or integrating data from other partner systems into one database for centralized analysis

After the reporting requirements were finalized, this OpenFn integration was configured in less than 1 day, leveraging the existing open-source [Primero adaptor](http://github.com/OpenFn/language-primero). The current implementation integrates one Primero instance and a PostgreSQL database (which feeds the dashboard), but future implementations might integrate data from multiple systems into one database for centralized analysis.

If your organization is interested in automating its reporting processes, you can check out this project’s [GitHub documentation](https://openfn.github.io/primero-ona-dashboard/) page and post your questions on [OpenFn Community](http://community.openfn.org).
