CDF’s representative, Suliman Hasbelrsoul said that a series of NGOs meetings, under the auspices of the League of Arab States (ALS) and partnership of Arab Council for Childhood and Development (ACCD) and Arab Gulf programme for Development (AGFUND), took place and came up with a number of recommendations that called for an increased attention to children issues in the Arab world; institutionalization of the work for children; and promote networking between NGOs working in childhood issues.

while participating in subsidiary Workshop, CDF representative presented CDF practical experience in handling street children issues through implementation of capacity building projects. At the margin of the forum he visited Arab Council for Childhood and Development premises and Egyptian Ministry of Social insurance in order to enhance and encourage collective work between NGOs in Sudan and Egypt.

The idea of the forum was first initiated by Arab civil society organizations working in the field of childhood, during the year 2000 in preparation for the UN special session on children which took place during 2002 under the title “World Fit for Children”.
