Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Governments have an ethical imperative to safeguard children in residential care institutions at all times, including in the aftermath of an emergency. Yet, a lack of accurate data about how the magnitude and characteristics of this population may change due to an emergency impedes leaders' ability to formulate responsive policies and services, mobilize resources and foster accountability. The purpose of this study was therefore to determine the feasibility of evaluating movement of children into residential care following an emergency.
METHODS:
The pilot…
Sommaire Exécutif
On estime que 30 000 enfants vivent dans approximativement 750 orphelinats en Haïti, dont la majorité est financée et gérée par le secteur privé.

La pauvreté, le manque d’accès aux services de base, et le désir d’offrir une éducation poussent les parents et les aidants à placer leurs enfants dans des orphelinats. Avec un appui adéquat, de nombreux enfants pourraient réintégrer une prise en charge familiale et…
