- W306979141 abstract "In many regions of the world, the phenomenon of street children is unabated, while it is emerging in others where it was unknown so far. Behind child disconnection lie highly vulnerable families and communities, many struggling to come to terms with economic liberalization and growing inequality. Disconnection can also be traced to a lack of communication in the family and the weakening of social capital. Street children are an alarm signaling the dire need for social development and poverty reduction policies to improve the situation in the community at large, and to prevent more young people from becoming marginalized. While preventive interventions are essential, those children already facing the hardships of street life need immediate opportunities for human development via special protection programs. This report distills the main lessons learned from a number of programs that have attempted to meet the special needs of street children worldwide. Its purpose is to help potential donors understand activities in this area and identify promising practices. The report draws on literature on street children programs and on a direct analysis of eighteen programs. The core of programs was selected by asking nongovernmental organizations and donors who participated in the International Street Children Conference held in Washington, D.C., on April 9-14, 2000, to provide documentation on their particularly promising interventions. Preference was given to development-oriented initiatives, aimed at increasing children's opportunities to be integrated in school, family, and labor market. When possible, the existence of positive evaluations, and evidence of replicability, were used as criteria of choice. Most interventions were implemented by NGOs, but a few were cooperative ventures by NGOs and local governments in which street children activities were integrated into municipal development programs. The report opens with a brief comment on World Bank involvement in street children issues, the conceptual challenges in defining and measuring the street children phenomenon, its underlying and immediate causes, and the problems and resources children encounter once in the street. The discussion then turns to 18 interventions considered effective or likely to succeed and provides a simple typology for classifying them. Next come the lessons learned, with a summary of good practices in selected programs. The discussion closes with some remarks on where donor support is needed." @default.
