%X This paper presents a case of theory-driven evaluation of a development programme for vulnerable children in Romania. The project targets those children who are in fact ¡®invisible¡¯ for governments and society. Finding them has been based on a community-census conducted by the social workers employed especially for the project¡¯s activities. The paper evaluates the project effectiveness and sustainability, making explicit all the theoretical assumptions. The sustainability of human resources and that of preventive practices are shown to be highly problematic.
