This annual report describes the activities of the International Child Development Initiatives (ICDI) in improving youth welfare in a wide range of countries as well as its plans for the upcoming year. ICDI is a non-profit organization that is practice, research and policy-oriented and works globally to address violations of the rights of children and youth as well as barriers to the fulfillment of these rights. ICDI focuses on such issues as child labor, street children, child abuse and neglect, children affected by war, HIV/AIDS, child trafficking, commercial exploitation of children, children in prison,and domestic violence. It also works to ensure that young children receive good care and education, that families under stress receive priority attention and that the needs of children who live without nurturing families are addressed. This report notes that in 2006, ICDI was involved in such long-term development projects as "Children in Suriname Programme,", and "Building Civil Society by Strengthening the Life Skills of Institutionalised Children in Bulgaria." It also continued its collaboration with the Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague on the International Centre for Child and Youth Studies (ICCYS). ICDI's plans for 2007 are also described, including the continuation of ongoing projects in Suriname, Romania and Turkey. New projects will be started in Bulgaria, Latvia and Serbia. ICDI will continue its work with removing barriers to education of Roma children.
