Project Background 项目背景

Since social protection in China is linked with household registration, migration and urbanization has resulted in 35.81 million migrant children and 69.73 million left-behind children without adequate access to social welfare and protection, leaving these groups of children highly vulnerable to violence and social exclusion. Plan International is currently implementing the project, ‘Improved responsiveness of social protection for migrant and left-behind children in Qinghai and An’ hui, China’, funded by the EU and Sida, under the CSO-LA budget line with the aim to improve responsiveness of social protection for migrant and left-behind children in Qinghai and An’hui through fostering multi-actor partnerships and dialogues. The action responds to the increasing concern of the situation of these children, and the rapid policy development on promoting government procurement of social services, strengthening social protection for children and developing Social Service Organizations (SSOs) that provide front line child protection services.

       由于中国社会保护与户籍挂钩，人口迁移与城镇化导致3581万流动儿童和6973万留守儿童10得不到适当的社会福利与保护，使这些儿童更容易受到暴力侵害和社会排斥。国际计划目前正在实施由欧盟和瑞典国际开发署资助的“促进青海、安徽两省流动和留守儿童的社会保护项目”，其目的是通过建立多方合作和对话，来改进对青海、安徽的流动、留守儿童社会保护的响应能力。这些行动响应社会上对这些儿童境况的日益关注，同时也是适应关于促进政府购买社会服务方面政策的迅速发展，加强对儿童的社会保护，促进一线儿童保护服务的社会工作组织（SSOs）的发展。

The project was jointly applied by the Plan International Sverige Insamlingsstiftelse, Plan International Inc. Shaanxi Representative Office and the China Federation of Social Work. In 2015, it received 75% funding from the European Union (the EU) and 25% from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). The project duration is 42 months, form January 1, 2016 to June 2019 for a three-and-a-half-year implementation period. Two Chinese local NGOs participate in project execution as affiliated entity, include Qinghai Huimin Social Work Research and Development Centre and An’hui Modern Social Work Development Centre. The project will be implemented in Golmud City, Qinghai Province and Lixin County, Anhui Province.

       本项目由国际计划(瑞典)筹款国办公室、国际计划（美国）陕西代表处与中国社会工作联合会联合申请，于2015年获得欧盟（the EU）75%和瑞典国际发展合作署（SIDA）25%的资金支持，项目期为2016年1月1日至2019年6月30日共42个月。两家中国本土NGO作为联合执行机构参与项目实施，分别是青海惠民社会工作研究与发展中心，以及安徽现代社会工作发展中心。项目执行地点为青海省格尔木市和安徽省利辛县。

The overall objective of the action is to contribute to improved responsiveness of social protection for migrant and left-behind children, through fostering multi-actor partnerships in policy dialogues. It is envisaged that 100% of the total population of migrant and left-behind children, in the target areas, will have improved access to effective social protection policies and interventions. Policies will be developed as a result of the involvement of and dialogue between SSOs, universities, private social service providers and the Department of Civil Affairs (DoCA). The specific objective is to improve the quality of social protection services for children, including responsiveness of cash transfer schemes for migrant children in Qinghai and rural left-behind children in An´hui, through fostering dialogue between SSOs, DoCA, universities and private social service providers, in the design and implementation of relevant public policies by June 2019.
