Although research has shed some light on the vulnerabilities and needs of children living in such adverse situations, until now, no standardized indicators have been released to guide practitioners in measuring the extent of their risk to HIV. The goal of the Children in Adverse Situations Indicators and Survey Tools is to answer the following question: “What improvements in well-being outcomes can be attributed to programs supporting children of female sex workers, street children, and children working in mines?” The indicators and tools were specifically developed to expand the evidence base required by child welfare systems and programs in low- and middle-income countries to systematically reduce the vulnerability of these specific populations. The full suite of tools includes:
- Measuring Outcomes among Children in Adverse Situations Indicators and Survey Tools Manual
- Children of Female Sex Workers Outcome Indicator List
- Questionnaires for Children of Female Sex Workers
- Street Children and Children Working in Mines Outcome Indicator List
- Questionnaires for Street Children and Children Working in Mines
