In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) Whether the national Government, in collaboration with county governments, has established well-equipped shelters and safe spaces in major cities and urban centres to provide temporary and transitional housing for homeless children and vulnerable mothers; (2) Whether the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection has developed and implemented, in partnership with the relevant stakeholders, a comprehensive national policy framework for rehabilitation, reintegration and empowerment of homeless children and vulnerable mothers; (3) Whether county governments, through their Social Welfare and Child Protection Departments, have identified rescue and holistic support services, including counselling, education, vocational training and healthcare to street children and vulnerable mothers; (4) The adequacy of budgetary allocations made for the construction, staffing and maintenance of these shelters to ensure sustainability and efficiency in service delivery; (5) Whether a multi-agency approach exists to enhance collaboration between Government agencies, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and development partners to strengthen inventions aimed at addressing the root causes of homelessness among children and mothers and to facilitate their social and economic reintegration."
