Interventions for Street-Connected Children: Micro-, Mezzo-, and Macro-Level Suggestions from Social Workers in Accra, Ghana

Street-connected children in Ghana face structural marginalization. To address this issue, there is a need for the development of comprehensive interventions at multiple levels. Drawing from the suggestions of 12 social workers, this study examined proposals aimed at reducing the growing number of street-connected children. The social workers recommended micro-level interventions, such as providing assistance to vulnerable families. Mezzo-level programs aim to reintegrate street-connected children back into society. Macro-level initiatives focus on advocating and raising awareness through government engagement and media campaigns. The study findings emphasize the importance of using multilevel approaches to address the phenomenon.
