Regional report on child well-being plots brighter future for the most vulnerable
By Wendy Chin on 8 Aug 2007
A recently released report by World Vision on children in the Middle East and Eastern Europe Region (MEER) builds on lasts year’s findings to plot a brighter future for the region’s most vulnerable, particularly children.
The MEER Children in Development and Protection Assessment Report, 2007 identifies predominant risks to child well-being in the region, and examines what contribution World Vision is most suited to make given its concerns as a Christian organisation committed to community based methodology and child focused approach.
It offers both country-by-country and sub regional reviews of main current issues that impact child well-being, particularly as related to the cross-cutting themes of Christian impact, disability, peace building and conflict resolution, protection, environment and HIV/AIDS.
While the report makes clear the many challenges children in MEER are facing, it also demonstrates how World Vision initiatives are effectively partnering with children and their communities to make positive changes for today and the future.
The report may be used to inform donors, stakeholders and World Vision in other regions on child well-being in the Middle East and Eastern Europe; and as a reference document for those needing baseline information for program development in the region.
Countries’ needs are assessed according to the most recent UNICEF barometers of child well-being. Other resources include the World Bank, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and World Vision National Office reports.
Mary Ellen Chatwin, PhD, World Vision’s children in development and protection advisor for MEER, authored the report.
