Economic Strengthening for Vulnerable Children: Principles of Program Design & Recommendations for Effective Field Interventions, FIELD Report No 2. USAID 2008

“his guide begins to fill the gap in interdisciplinary work on child vulnerability through the illustration of economic strengthening best practices in a format that multi-sectoral teams of donors and practitioners can use to inform their own work. To that end, the document offers a series of seven principles for program design and implementation and a set of technical recommendations on how to implement selected economic strengthening activities
Although initially conceived as a guide to economic strengthening for children affected by HIV/AIDS, the development process made it apparent that these lessons have relevance beyond this context. As such, the guide is valuable for practitioners across a broad range of disciplines and aims to inform practice accordingly.”
