This research brief is based on a baseline study carried out in the first phase of the Child Migrants Along the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor (CORAL) project to help identify situated approaches to implementation, drawing evidence from all five countries but aiming for locally specific actions and solutions.

This brief reference surveys the national policy of three representative African countries on the legal guardianship of children who are without parents or families.

This report presents the preliminary findings from an ongoing project undertaken by 4Children that seeks to identify key opportunities to incorporate violence prevention and response interventions within priority PEPFAR Program Areas at clinical and community levels.

This report presents the results of a scientific research on the topic of Social Exclusion of Vulnerable Youth, commissioned by SOS Children’s Villages Netherlands.

This report captures what has been accomplished in social service workforce strengthening in eight countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and highlights areas for future intervention. Progress made to strengthen the social service workforce within these countries is useful when reflecting on global trends and ways forward.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact that the use of a Community Caregiver service provision model had on outcomes for children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS in Côte d’Ivoire. 

In this short video, BBC News interviews Gramboute Ibrahima, a local social worker who helps child trafficking victims in Abengourou, Ivory Coast. His organisation, CREER, has opened the region's first centre to help rehabilitate trafficked children. Almost every country in the world is affected by human trafficking. Children are particularly at risk, often sold across borders to work in brothels or on farms. 

Executive summary

Ce document présente les conclusions et perspectives générées par la cartographie et l'évaluation des systèmes nationaux de protection de l'enfance dans cinq pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest, à savoir : la Côte d’Ivoire, le Ghana, le Niger, le Sénégal et la Sierra Leone.

Ce rapport fait suite à une mission d’évaluation réalisée en Côte d’Ivoire entre le 8 et le 12 mars 2010, complétée par une compilation des informations disponibles et une analyse du cadre législatif ivoirien relatif à l’adoption. Le choix de la Côte d’Ivoire a été motivé par le fait que ce pays faisait partie des dix premiers pays d’origine des enfants adoptés en France et n’avait a l'epoque pas encore ratifié la Convention du 29 mai 1993.
