Summary
The importance of children being well cared for in families is widely recognised in global policies and guidance. There is extensive research demonstrating clearly the importance of a safe and caring family for child wellbeing and development. While there is consensus on the importance of effective care in families for children, there is a lack of discussion and agreement about the precise components of this care. In particular, further exploration is needed to determine which elements of effective care are universal and which are culturally or contextually specific, and to explore…

This study was commissioned by UNICEF, the International Save the Children Alliance and the Government of Rwanda. Following the genocide and civil war in 1994, fostering has been promoted by the Government and by agencies as the preferred option for younger separated children unable to return to the care of their own families. Although responsibility for the care of children is traditionally shared within the extended family and with close friends, care by strangers has not been common. Approximately 1 200 children have been fostered by agencies (referred to as “formal” or “agency” fostering…
The genocide, population displacements, and armed conflict in Rwanda gave rise to unprecedented numbers of children separated from their families. By April 2001, some 3,700 children remained in 28 centers for separated children. The Ministry of Local Administration and Social Affairs (MINALOC) is responsible for monitoring these centers, but its capacity to do so is very limited, and it does not have a set of legal standards to use in assessing the adequacy of the care provided in these centers. Problems are beginning to emerge in these centers, particularly among young people in late…
