This survey consists of seeking the exact and current number of street children in Cameroon for their potential psycho and socio-economic reinsertion, using a pre-selected sampling
More importantly, the study seeks to:

- Relationships between parents or guardians before and during their lives on the street
- Daily live of street children

SITE STUDY
The study adopts ? multi-level, multi-site and multi-methods ? and participatory approach, combining at the same time quantitative and qualitative methods in two phases:
- Data collection phase consisting of exploring on, one hand, the geographical zones of street children grouping in each city and, on the other hand, contacting them individually and collectively and organizing focus groups of discussion for data collection.
- Analysis and final completion report phase.
ORGANIZATION OF ACTIVITIES
GivHOPE will hire local trainers for training in order to be cost effective. The local trainers will be selected among local associations dealing with this issue. Data collection will have the same duration in each locality.
