Resume

This initiative, an extension of 100% for Children's ongoing work in northern Ghana, focuses on child protection by examining the migration of marginalized youth from North to South in Ghana. The project aims to understand migration patterns, risks, and challenges while identifying factors pushing them to migrate. It also aims to strengthen networking among stakeholders in Accra and enhance DUNK's position within these networks. Key strategies include promoting youth leadership, peer-to-peer engagement, street corner education, and mobilizing target groups through sports and cultural activities. The project prioritizes data gathering from the target group to inform networks and advocacy efforts, ensuring informed access to the target group's perspectives. This initiative represents a new partnership with strategies designed to serve the partnership and the target group effectively.
