I. About Terre Des Hommes
Terre des hommes (Tdh) aims to enhance the rights and develop the resilience of children and young people who are exposed to risks and face difficulties in accessing essential services around the world. Working in the areas of health, migration and access to justice, our teams both address issues directly and train other people and organisations to do so, in order to strengthen systems in a sustainable way. We take an inclusive, localised approach to create lasting solutions to the challenges children and their communities face and, by working together with them, we bring meaningful change to their lives.
II. About the Project:
Since 2013 Tdh, under the learning grant from Oak Foundation has been supporting 35 partner organizations, working in the domain of child protection across West Bengal and Jharkhand to strengthen their practices of working with survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation and support their overall wellbeing, by having interventions on mental health, livelihood, rehabilitation, reintegration, and meaningful involvement of concerned primary and secondary stakeholders. The third phase of the learning grant, commencing in 2021 titled, ‘Addressing Trafficking through Effective Prevention and Reintegration’ across West Bengal and Jharkhand aimed to enhance the capacity of civil society organizations to respond effectively to the needs of survivors for effective reintegration, strengthen community networks to protect children from unsafe migration and support the reintegration of survivors of exploitation and trafficking, and build transformative capacities of children and young people to challenge harmful social norms that perpetuate violence and stigma against survivors.

IV.Scope of the Evaluation
With the aforementioned project concluding on 30th June 2024, Tdh India is commissioning an endline evaluation to assess the impact of the interventions on different stakeholders and the extent to which the project met its targeted objectives.
