Street life has been a very challenging situation for Ethiopia and many other countries for the past many years. This assessment of the program (reunification) was done to shed light on the gaps of the program and look for a better solution for the best interest of a child. In the meantime, to prompt and encourage all the best parts of the program. In order to do that the three selected organisations provided all the needed gaps and advantages of the program. Which could be helpful to find a better solution for combating street life. By involving in depth interviews, key informant interviews and other data collecting methods, the assessment did its best to identify numerous issues, such as experiences and understandings of professionals, children and families using the program. In addition to that, all gaps and needs in the program are evaluated. The program provides different service that could help children be in a better life, the provided services are really good for the children but the problem is that the services does not continue once the children left the transition centre. Which causes the gaps of the program, children live a better/safe life for three months and go back to their” normal life”. The program never addressed the cause for children to leave home, when the causes are not addressed children lose their interest to go back to their homes and families. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing root causes and ensuring post-reunification support for sustainable outcomes. This assessment contributes valuable insight into the effectiveness of reunification programs and underscores the need for long-term, child-centred strategies to end the cycle of street life of children.
