Community Based Poverty Reduction Projects (CPRP)

The Street Children Component has to date approved the implementation of sub-project proposals in the provision of integrated services to street children. 38 Grant agreements actually targeting 1500 out of 1740 street children have been signed with 38 Service Providers to enable them implement their proposals in the provision of integrated services which would facilitate mainstreaming the street children into their communities and households. It is expected that a total of 2500 children would be reached with integrated services by the close of the project. The Poverty Measurement and Monitoring component supports the building of capacity at the district level to collect, store and analyse administrative data from the key sectors at the district level.  The data would be used for decision-making including resource allocation at the community level. To date an automated database had been established in the pilot districts and hands-on training to impart computer application skills to staff of the key sectors had been accomplished.
