Summary: Annually child helplines receive 11.3 million calls from children and youth needing care and protection. The report provides recommendations on the start-up and scale-up of child helpline in Costa Rica. This report is compiled by CHI and member helplines. It recommends that a 3-4 digit, toll free, national helpline be accessible to all children, particularly those marginalized and disadvantaged. It describes the current status of the helpline and opportunities for collaboration with NGOs and the government to scale up the helpline’s activities to reach out to more children.pdf: http://www.crin.org/docs/Costa Rica_CHI_NGO_Report.doc
