Caring for Children affected by HIV and AIDS
Fall 2007The IRC Insight on 'Caring for Children Affected by HIV and AIDS' highlights the urgent need to support families and communities to care for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
The report looks at how the epidemic undermines children's health and schooling, and reinforces marginalization and deprivation. It explores the options for the care of children in communities affected by the AIDS epidemic. Beginning with the premise that the parent-child bond is the basic building block of child development and the family the basic unit of society, the report looks at ways to keep parents alive and the family together for as long as possible.

TransMONEE 2007 features: data and analysis on the lives of children in CEE/CIS and Baltic States
October 2007Despite recent economic growth, many children in the CEE/CIS Region remain vulnerable. Thousands of children continue to die before their first birthday, and increasing numbers of children are in formal care. Many young people lack employment opportunities and are at risk of marginalization. The tools to monitor these trends are often lacking, not standardized, or not routinely deployed. TRANSMONEE Features, along with the TRANSMONEE database, focuses on different aspects of children's lives, draws attention to mechanisms for monitoring trends and uses data to illuminate neglected issues.
