Learning Action Partnership to Prevent CSE in Bulgaria
Staff from the International Centre are working with the Bulgaria Family Planning Association to develop a 'learning action partnership' to prevent child sexual exploitation in Bulgaria.
Funded by the Oak Foundation the work is placing a particular focus on the prevention of CSE in the process of deinstitutionalisation.
