Children’s rights at the heart of programmes in Guinea

N’Zérékoré, in the far south-east of the country, is located in Forest Guinea, a region notorious for the exploitation of children on coffee plantations and other agricultural fields. In this region, there is a high rate of child victims of the worst forms of labour, but also of abandoned children and children who are victims of cross-border trafficking.

The PACOPE programmes implemented in West Africa are based on an empowering approach, avoiding families’ dependence on SOS support to cover the needs of their children.

By helping parents/guardians to develop their own income-generating activities and by offering them advice and moral support throughout the intervention, the programme increases their awareness, decision-making power and financial capacity. Parents/guardians are empowered to meet their children’s basic needs (e.g. paying for school, health, food, etc.) and to respect their rights to survival, development, protection and participation.
