The Street Chil­dren Empower­ment Founda­tion (SCEF), a non-governmental organisation, is ad­vocating an expedite action in the implementation of Ghana's five-year strategic plan for street-con­nected children and young persons.

The 5-year Strategic Plan is to among other things restore hope, dignity, and opportunity to neglect­ed and marginalised children.

This came to light at a national stakeholder symposium held in Accra on Friday.

The event which was on the theme, "Accelerating the imple­mentation of Ghana's 5-year Strategic Plan for Street-Connected Children: From policy to Action" marked the 15th anniversary of the foundation.
