Final
Evaluation Count Every Child Project
Promoting
Universal Birth Registration for Street children in Jakarta
Background of the Universal Birth
Registration Project (UBR)
Plan
International is a child entered community development international
organizations working in 64 countries of the world. Plan Indonesia is one of the country programs
who are actively involved in Plan International global campaign on Count Every
Child through which more than 40 million children worldwide have been
registered (see at http://plan-international.org/
In Jakarta, approximately 7,000 street
children have been identified. And only 22 % of them have a birth certificate.
In Indonesia, the new Population Administration Law (23/2006) makes birth
registration free of charge for newborns. However the national legislation has
not yet been fully implemented in many regions, including Jakarta. The absence
of birth registration limits many children’s access to public services, such as
education and health and be protected
from exploitation.
Few studies that assessed the direct impacts
of UBR on child protection found that there is a weak linkage. In Jakarta, there were
926 cases of sexual abuse reported in 2010 and most of the victims were street
children. In addition, 100 street
children have been identified as victims of child labor and trafficking (coming
from other regions of Indonesia), sent mostly to beg on the street, get
involved in Comercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC), etc. The absence
of a birth certificate make it easier to manipulate their ages for getting a
job or legal trafficking. It also
prevents victims from being repatriated quickly, those who involved in crimes
to be prosecuted and having effective
law enforcement. The registration is crucial to prove that a victim is a minor
at the time of the exploitation and to help protecting them from abuse. Poor
registration and inadequate statistics on street children further contribute to
poor planning in public service deliveries,
such as determining coverage of free immunizations for all newborns, outreach
services available in shelters, funds available for community health insurance
services. Funded by Aviva
Insurance of United Kingdom and Forgotten Children Plan International through United
Kingdom National Office of Plan International (UKNO), Plan International
Indonesia launched this project for the period of May 1st 2012 to April
30th 2014, in 5
municipalities of Jakarta province in collaboration with Ministry of Social Affairs
and the Department of Civil Registration and Population. The following is the objective:
to register at least 500 street children and engage with the District
Government for the promotion of Universal
Birth Registration for street children in 5 municipalities in Jakarta

the project there are 3 expected results. First, approximately 3,500 street

and registration procedures. Secondly, the Right to Identity and Nationality is
ensured for at least 1500 street children and accessible and simplified UBR
