Identifying and developing linkages with other planned or existing programmes can help mitigate some negative effects the proposed initiative may have on children.

Examples of Linkages with Mitigating Programmes:

• Cash or in-kind transfers to support children’s education in poor families (scholarships for girls, food for work for parents);
  


• School construction to increase enrolment and bring school closer to home reducing the need for transport by children;
  


• The development of new services (community crèches) to free girls’ time for education;
  


• Pilot schemes in alternative transport such as mules or bicycles for girls and women.
