The European Development Days (EDD) has become one of the major and recognized forums of the Development Com- munity, organized every year by the European Commission, to discuss development challenges.

The 6th edition of EDD took place in Warsaw (Poland) on the 15th and 16th December, 2011, organized by the European Commission and the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. TDHIF made a proposal to the European Commission to contribute to the EDD agenda with a round Signing Ceremony of the Optional Protocol table on the thematic of Children on the Move; the European Commission welcomed TDHIF’s proposal, inviting them to collaborate with SOLIDAR, Red Cross, and EUNOMAD (the Children’s Rights on the European Scene European Network on Migration and Development) in shap- In 2011, the European Union opened up to new challenges ing a common panel on the broad issue of “migration and in developing important policy frameworks.

These have been two important processes that TDHIF monitored, and tried to influence, through its engagement in European Networks.

TDHIF monitored the EU development cooperation policy through its membership in CONCORD, the European NGO Confederation for Relief and Development. In particular, TDHIF actively engaged in CONCORD’s “Structured Dia-

Terre des Hommes (Netherlands) has been working with its partner SSO since 2000 to stop child exploitation in Svay Rieng, most specifi- cally by providing education. But schooling alone is not enough to bring about a better standard of living. So in 2010, SSO estab- lished the Melaleuca Oil Producers Federation with members from the local community. Roth Sita: “I can now sell oil far more easily than before when I did it on my own. Back then, I earned between EUR 40 and EUR 50 a month. Now the average is be- tween EUR 75 and EUR 100.

Sophia (11 years) is in year five at school, and lives with her Innovation Fair mother and a further seven children. She has been working in the sugarcane fields since the age of eight, cutting the sugar- cane, bundling it, carrying it and loading it. “I go to school one day, and I work the next day. The work is very tiring. Your skin itches, and you can get injured by the big cutting knives.” She no longer works now. ANPPCAN is helping her. “I am able to go to school all the time now. I get something to eat there as well, and I’ve got friends.”

Terre des Hommes wishes to express its profound grati- tude to all its donors and supporters for their ongoing and demonstrable commitment to raising standards for children, and to making the changes necessary for a better world.

Together for Child Protection

Terre des Hommes is running consortium projects with different actors to offer protection, and alleviate the suf- fering of children who have been trafficked, to offer them reintegration into their community, and to prevent child trafficking.

Terre des Hommes is very grateful to the Oak Foundation for its long-standing partnership in these efforts. The finan- cial support of the Oak Foundation has enabled innovative projects to be devised and implemented, and lessons to be learned, which have in turn developed the relevance and quality of interventions for trafficked children, and more recently have allowed a better understanding of the differ- ences between trafficking and the more general phenom- enon of children on the move.
