79. INDE works on the issue of child labor in the cross-sectorial direction (education literacy, health - HIV / AIDS, among others). It collaborates with different national and international NGOs, namely AMIC, REJE, and SAVE THE CHILDREN SWEDEN. It is a NGO that works in the areas of education and awareness raising for child sellers, representing a category of vulnerable children. 80. Cooperation for the implementation of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, is not only evident at the level of NGOs and State institutions, but also at the level of national and international NGOs. For example, AMIC and Plan Guinea-Bissau, implemented a program in Gabú region on Children's Carnival. 81. S.O.S talibé, REJE and AMIC cooperate in the area of Talibé children. Normally, S.O.S. Talibé, when it identifies children who are victims of trafficking, communicates to REJE and AMIC and these are in charge of looking for parents of the children identified. After finding their parents, the children live on a boarding–school regime at the reception center that S.O.S Talibe has in Gabu, this center has a madrassa school, where the children can learn the Koran. 82. RENLUV, is an organization that has carried out many activities in the area of protection. It promotes marches and awareness-raising with Parliament on the rights of children. The UNICEF made a study in 2007 on the institutional analysis of social protection and childcare facilities in Guinea-Bissau and revealed that, the staff of this institution, have housed in their homes, on several occasions, many children who are victims of violence and harmful practices that seek support of this organization. While making arrangements or contacts with the competent authorities to resolve problems, children reside in the homes of officials, due to lack of reception centers. 83. REJE, is an organization whose activities meet the community's problems in education (through diagnosis and school integration), health (providing care and medical treatment), legal protection (sensitizes and informs about the dangers of slight corporal punishment, cruel treatment, rape and investigative phase of disciplinary proceedings). 84. It also works with children and young workers (street vendors giving family support and sensitizing them and their families to the dangers they face in their daily lives). The REJE, in partnership with the IMC and UNICEF, carried out the training of Public Order Police officers (POP), providing them with instruments to register all kind of violence aimed at children and arriving at police stations. 85. Along the same lines of concern for the protection of children, this network develops working partnerships with INDE, AMIC and also collaborates with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Higher Education. 86. As far as cooperation is concerned, it is concluded that it takes place among various state, international and multilateral organizations. The UNICEF study on institutional analysis of social protection and childcare facilities in Guinea-Bissau, shows this finding. For example, IMC collaborates with UNICEF, UNFPA, Action Aid and SNV in developing strategic plans and in developing the five-year plan on child protection, which also includes the concerns of NGOs working in the field of children. 19
