Ian Lucas: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what plans she has to increase funding to organisations
supporting street children in Central and South America; and if she will make a statement. [108444]
Clare Short: My Department will continue to provide support to street children in Central and South America through our contribution
to reducing poverty generally and through more direct support for organisations working with street children. Examples of the latter
include our support for European Commission project covering El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala, which aims to improve
the legal environment for children in those countries, and to strengthen local law enforcement agencies to combat trafficking and
commercial exploitation of children. We have also been supporting a number of projects managed by Non Governmental Organisations
(NGOs) including equipment for homes for street children in Guatemala, and education for street children in Ecuador.
We believe that the most effective way of helping street children is by tackling the conditions of poverty, deprivation and social
exclusion which leads to their situation. We are working in partnership with the international development community and with
governments to reduce poverty and provide access for all to primary health care, education and social protection services.
