Tdh Projects on the field

Tdh Countries of intervention

• Albania

  

  By building on the previous Transnational Action Against Child Trafficking (TACT) project and in light of changing circumstances, Terre des hommes is currently implementing a new project known as Developing a Child Protection Safety Net (CPSN) in Albania, which envisions a fully-functioning statutory child protection system and a local community committed to taking proactive child protection actions.

• Kosovo

  

  In Kosovo, Terre des hommes is committed to the building of an efficient Child Protection Safety Net (CPSN) in order to protect children against neglect, abuse, delinquency, trafficking and exploitation. Public institutions are supported in order to reinforce their professional competences and learn to work together in a coordinated way, so that vulnerable children can be more effectively protected.

• Romania

  

  Present in Romania since 1992, Terre des hommes (Tdh) has for many years been combating the trafficking and exploitation of particularly vulnerable children in this country, concentrating mainly on children who are potential migrants because of poverty and marginalization. In order to reach them, direct interventions in their places of origin proved to be efficient, combined with constant support to the social assistance system in rural areas.
  Improvement of the Child Protection Safety Net

• Moldova

  Terre des hommes is active in the Republic of Moldova since 2004. It works towards the improvement of social follow-up and protection of Moldovan children in vulnerable situations within and outside Moldova. The implementation of projects is done thanks to its partners as: SDC, Medicor Foundation, OSCE, UNICEF and UEFA.

• TDHIF in Europe

  

  TDHIF will continue not only to keep a close eye to those multi-level reforms of the EU architecture, but also to influence as much as possible policies and programs set by the European Commission in the light of this renewed period in the EU construction.

Tdh Regional Projects
