Empowering Civil Society Organizations for the Protection of Migrant Children
Published By: Institute for Population and Social ResearchThe EU grant project “Empowering Civil Society for the Protection of Migrants Children (ECPMC)” is implemented by World Vision Foundation of Thailand (WVFT) in collaboration with World Vision UK and Foundation of the Rural Youth (FRY). The overall goal of the project
is “Thai CSOs ensure that migrant children’s rights to legal identity and access to equitable development are realized,” it serves as WVFT’s response to address the issue of statelessness especially children of migrant communities due to inaccessibility of birth registration services.
The project embarks on organizational capacity building, training in the Community Voice and Engagement (CVE) approach and training on the CRA 2008/CVRS Regional Project Framework and other migrant relevant policies, in order to improve the environment and space for Thai
CSOs to be actors in governance and accountability. This will pave the way for more effective advocacy for improved access to social services for migrants that are provided by the government in social and economic sectors, bringing migrants access to mainstream services
(particularly migrant children birth registration), especially access to health services.
