In Karnataka, UNICEF is currently implementing the Elementary
Education Programme in ten districts, namely Chikmagalur, Chitradurga,
Gulbarga, Hassan, Mysore, Raichur, Shimoga, Tumkur, Uttara Kannada,
Davangere, and the Child Protection Programme in Bangalore rural,
Gulbarga and Davangere. The Elementary Education Programme supports
the Government’s SSA initiative by making efforts to: (1)
reduce gender disparities; (2) promote access and quality education
for children from disadvantaged groups; (3) enhance learning achievements
by improving the quality of education; (4) improve and expand
educational data and analysis and (5) deliver and document quality
education. The Child Protection Programme complements the Government’s
initiatives in the areas of child labour, child trafficking, and
children in difficult circumstances. In the field of child labour,
the programme focuses particularly on the informal sector and
also explores the risk implications of the spread of HIV/AIDS
in the context of trafficking, and of commercial sexual exploitation
of children. Regarding children affected by difficult circumstances,
the Programme emphasises strengthening indigenous-coping and resilience
mechanisms.
