Ce document propose tout d’abord de comprendre ce qu’est un système de protection de l’enfance et pour quelles raisons Tdh entend « penser système » et se consacrer au renforcement des systèmes de protection (section 1). Il décrit ensuite le modèle d’action de référence de Tdh en ma...tière de renforcement des SPE et présente les principales interventions à mener dans cette perspective, en fonction de différents contextes (section 2). Un cadrage méthodologique et des informations d’ordre pratique viennent illustrer les manières concrètes d’intervenir en ce domaine (section 3). En annexe se trouve une description des actions composant la matrice de base à utiliser en matière de renforcement des SPE. Cette description est complétée par quelques exemples de projets et d’expériences actuellement engagés par Tdh sur le terrain en différents lieux de la planète.
