At the beginning of 2005, Enfants & Developpement (E&D) set up a Participatory Child Protection Project in 6 communes covering 126 villages. The project pilots a new initiative in combating child trafficking issues through the establishment of Child Boards at the district level.  While it is too early to assess the impacts of the project, a high degree of success towards the goal of protecting children from being abused can be anticipated due to variety of reasons.
