1. Purpose: The article sets a direction for the research initiatives that
should be taken in the direction to address the issues of the children
while implementing the humanitarian practices.
2. Since we are searching for the key result areas or the problem areas
related to the lack of facilities for the children during the disaster
period, this article can help us in picking up deficit areas because
they are also having the same quest,
3. Summary: ) According to the author duo, donors and the promoters
in the field of research should know the areas of the special
vulnerability of the children during the period of the disaster. In
order to win a consent of all the concerning authorities like AME,
ACPHA and CHNRI the author duo took the support of Research
Priority Scores and Average Expert Agreement to zero down on

some areas where research is required. On the note of conclusion,
this research advocates a global research agenda for the experts. We
can also hand pick these areas as the area of exploration for our
program as well.

that separated from their families during a disaster.
2. Separation from the family and relocation of the kids is a major issue
during the phase of the disaster.
3. Summary: In the abstract part the author presented a brief account of
the kids that were separated from their parents during a crisis.
According to him, the culture based clues given by such kids can act
handily in the process of their relocation. This article also talks about
the problems that kids face in refugee camps. It also answers the
question that how these points can be connected with a surveillance
system with the help of IT technology. The third question of our
research program deals with the consequences of the displacement
and this piece of literature provides us vital information in this
direction.

1. Purpose: Children are at risk because they are vulnerable, when we
check the status of the adolescence girls, this vulnerability increases
many folds. A systematic review of the vulnerability can help us in
drawing an additional action plan for this more vulnerable part of
our target group.
2. Summary: A systematic review of more than 3000 reports on the
topic gives us an idea that certain rules and practices are needed to
bring down the vulnerability levels of this segment of the target
group.
3. With the help of this article, we can make notes related to the role of
the immediate society in the protection and rehabilitation of such
subjects.

1. Purpose: Policy myopia can lead to an increase in the disaster for
children. The case of Kenya gives us an idea that how this oversight
can kill the essence of the reforms or the relocation.
2. Summary: i) In order to meet out the crisis of regular droughts in
Kenya, the government came up with a vision 2030, for the

key issues related to the kids are missing from this policy.
3. It is a criminal oversight when relocation facilities or the plans to
bring in sustainable reforms fail to address the core issues of the
children like nutrition and education. This micro-study of a region
can be generalized in our findings.

1. Purpose: Welfare of the kids is dependent on their parents and
guardians, do we need to support the families of the children in
order to ensure a better life for them.
2. Summary: ) An act of charity is not sustainable unless we support
the root cause; this article helps us in understanding the role of the
tangential issues that are surrounding main acts of the welfare of the
kids.
3. Welfare programs designed for the kids should be in
synchronization with other programs as well. Integration of the other
services with the programs specifically designed for the children can
bring down many psychological and sociological barriers associated
with the success of such programs.

1. Purpose: To figure out the impact of cash incentive over other
social services offered by a group.
2. Motivation with the help of cash incentives can attract more children
under the range of humanitarian services and bring down the
consequences.
3. Summary: i) The finding of this report says that cash intervention
can bring down the impact of HIV over adolescence girls quite
considerably because after a point it becomes a major draw for them
for regular participation in the plan. This piece of the literature helps
us in identifying the importance of the place of the intervention.

1. Purpose: Children often feel the pangs of urban disaster, although it
is easier to support them in an urban environment.
2. Summary: ) A gap in the documentation and the real picture of an
urban disaster often creates a gap of direct relief works for the
children. A synoptic view is given by the census often fails in
identifying the children because they are less economic active strata
of the society.
3. This literature promotes the concept of the mapping of the area from
a children specific point of view. This can be included in the
recommendation part of our research.
