• Collaborate with established CSC network members in West Africa, including in Francophone West Africa, to drive change for street-connected children
• Take lessons learnt from West Africa to the wider CSC network and build effective stakeholder relationships, including in Southeast Asia 
• Advocate for the rights of all street-connected children at international levels, including through and with the UN
• Promote and support child-led advocacy initiatives
