This report describes the implementation of the pilot project, focusing on process evaluation and project operationalization. Over 550 street children from 10 cities (Rio de Janeiro, Alexandria, Cario, Montreal, Toronto, Bombay, Tegucigalpa, Mexico city, Manila and Lusaka) participated in focus groups or were interviewed individually. The report includes information obtained from street children concerning the extent and nature of substance use and other risk behaviours within different street children populations; the structures and activities of organizations working with these populations; a range of interventions which are currently being used; and a series of recommendations for further action.
