The final report was published in 2025 and provides a basis for further development of national and international child protection systems.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The EndOCSEA@Europe Project<\/strong><\/h4><p>The \u201cEndOCSEA@Europe\u201d project was initiated by the Council of Europe to support member states in combating online child sexual exploitation and abuse. Implemented in two phases (2018\u20132021 and 2023\u20132025), the project focused on strengthening legal frameworks, enhancing institutional capacities, and improving cross-border cooperation. A key objective was to support the implementation of the Lanzarote Convention and to foster collaboration among public authorities, law enforcement agencies, civil society, and professionals working with children.<\/p><p>The project addresses a rapidly evolving field: digital technologies create new risks such as cyber grooming and sextortion, while increasing the need for coordinated international responses.<\/p><h4><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-24733 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ceval.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OCSEA-report-211x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ceval.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OCSEA-report-211x300.png 211w, https:\/\/ceval.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OCSEA-report.png 525w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/>The Evaluation<\/strong><\/h4><p>The evaluation covered both project phases and examined key areas including legislative development, capacity-building, awareness-raising, and international cooperation. It was based on a theory-driven, mixed-methods approach, combining document analysis with interviews, case studies, and surveys to capture the perspectives of a wide range of stakeholders.<\/p><p>The analysis followed the OECD-DAC criteria and focused in particular on sustainability, impact, and scalability at political, institutional, and operational levels.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Findings<\/strong><\/h4><p>The evaluation demonstrates that the project has made significant contributions to strengthening national child protection systems. These include progress in legal frameworks, enhanced professional capacities, and improved international cooperation. At the same time, the findings highlight that long-term impact depends on the structural integration of measures and sustained resource allocation.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>The official report and the accompanying article from the Council of Europe can be viewed here:<\/h5><ul><li>Complete report: <a href=\"https:\/\/rm.coe.int\/evaluation-report-endocsea-europe-evaluation-final-version\/4880299832\">Evaluation report<\/a><\/li><li>Article from the Council of Europe: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coe.int\/en\/web\/children\/-\/protecting-children-online-key-findings-from-the-endocsea-europe-evaluation-report\">https:\/\/www.coe.int\/en\/web\/children\/-\/protecting-children-online-key-findings-from-the-endocsea-europe-evaluation-report<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2025, CEval GmbH conducted the evaluation of the \u201cEndOCSEA@Europe\u201d project on behalf of the Council of Europe.
