180° Working Groups
Accreditation
180º has developed, and is piloting, an accreditation tool for assessing the impact and organisational strength of different street children's projects. 180° Alliance is NOT a donor agency. Accredited projects will be linked to donors for funding and be supported to improve the quality of the work they do with street children.
Innovation
180º is interested in incubating new and innovative approaches to supporting children living on the streets. The current focus is on city-wide strategies with street children. In addition, we are looking to support strategic training programmes and initiatives.
Research and Advocacy
180º 's Research and Advocacy working group is seeking to bridge the gap between academic research and grassroots projects by directly linking researchers with projects and by making research accessible to projects, so that it can inform practice. In relation to advocacy, the group is making significant partnerships and collating a wide range of case studies in order to advocate on behalf of street children.
Resource Development
180º seeks to make resources readily available to projects working with street children around the world. Please see the Resource Library to access a wide range of free resources as well as to see what resources that experts recommend, to help equip you in your work with street children. Members can also access the 180° Manual: 'How to Set Up a Street Children's Project'.
