ii. To conduct collective research between the CSCN members in order to steadily
improve the data available on Cambodian street children;
iii. To build the capacity of the CSCN members to systematically gather and record
information on Cambodian street children.
The CSCN currently consists of the following seven members (a detailed presentation
of each CSCN member is found in Appendix I):
• Damnok Toek (Goutte d’Eau) (DT)
• Kaliyan Mith (KM)
• Mith Samlanh (MS)
• Krousar Thmey (KT)
• M’Lop Tapang (MLT)
• World Vision Cambodia (WVC)
• Cambodian Children Against Starvation and Violence (CCASVA)
In 2007, the seven members of the CSCN commenced a coordinated effort to gather
information about children living and/or working on the streets of Cambodia. The
outcome of this study, the SCP 2008, was the first in a series of annual reports to
be produced by the CSCN. The SCP 2008, with its extensive quantitative analysis,
moreover provided the broadest study ever conducted on Cambodian street children.
Analysing the detailed information on street children in six central cities in Cambodia
thus provided the first basis for identifying nationwide tendencies on topics such as
migration, education, gender issues, trafficking, HIV/AIDS and substance abuse.
For the compilation of this second edition of the profile, SCP 2009, the seven members
of the CSCN were once more involved in the collection of questionnaires in the same
six locations, providing the basis for comparative analysis of the previous year’s data.
Moreover, building on the experiences from the Cambodian SCP 2008, this year’s
edition adds a more in-depth analysis of the data. Also, it adds a chapter suggesting
topics for discussion, based on the identified general and cross-cutting tendencies, in
the CSCN members’ work teams.
