Highlights
This project visions that the children from the most deprived and marginalised families are educated, protected and their families are economically resilient, it will be achieved through improved food security and income generating opportunities for the parents and caregivers and improving the learning continuity of the children especially those who are out of school and irregular through improving learning environments at homes and schools (through various means such as alternate education programs, supporting them with bursaries until their parents are capable of earning through project promoted livelihood opportunities etc). Similarly, the project intends to assure the child protection services for the children who are the most vulnerable and at risk of child protection. For this project will strengthen the capacity of child protection structures, child clubs and their networks. Para social workers and trained volunteers will be mobilised to implement the Steps to Protect common approach to support vulnerable children and youths to minimise the (risk of) child labour/child migration for work. Their parents will be strongly encouraged in joining the project promoted livelihood interventions. Lastly, the project will focus in strengthening local government's capacity on information management and planning related to the sectors like education, child protection, livelihoods. Local governments will be supported for developing sectoral plans and policies and their implementation so that the needs of children and poor families in multiple sectors are effectively addressed.
