This initiative aims to provide better protection for children living in vulnerable situations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This is done by involving the government, communities, families and the children themselves, particularly girls and children of diverse gender identities. The project seeks to improve the protection and well-being of vulnerable children, particularly girls, in 3 DRC cities (Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and Bunia). To achieve this result, the initiative relies on 3 key areas: (1) strengthening the capacities of public institutions; (2) involving grassroots communities; and (3) improving inclusive and sustainable access to services for vulnerable children.
