The report presents the findings of this study, including…

On estime que 30 000 enfants vivent dans approximativement 750 orphelinats en Haïti, dont la majorité est financée et gérée par le secteur privé. Selon le gouvernement d’Haïti, 80 pour cent des enfants dans les orphelinats ont au moins un parent en vie et presque tous ont d’autres membres de leur famille. 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…
Executive Summary
An estimated 30,000 children live in approximately 750 mostly privately-run and financed orphanages in Haiti. The Government of Haiti estimates that 80 percent of children in orphanages have at least one living parent, and almost all have other family members. Poverty, lack of access to basic services, and the desire to provide an education drive parents and caregivers to place their children in orphanages. With adequate support, many children could return to family- and community-based care, and at-risk families could be strengthened to prevent…
To better understand the impact of donor funding, Lumos is conducting a five-part research study to examine the role of donors across a variety of sectors in propagating, supporting or ending the institutionalization of children. This report on US government funding is the first in the series.

The US Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity (the Action Plan) provides a framework to guide the…
Each year, millions of children are affected by devastating and life-altering armed conflicts and natural disasters. During humanitarian emergencies children are frequently separated from their families and exposed to physical, psychological and sexual abuse, exploitation and neglect. Yet child protection is one of the least funded areas of humanitarian response.
Protection interventions are frequently plagued by inadequate funds. The life-saving nature of protection activities requires that this situation be urgently addressed. The conclusions of the report underscore the need to examine…

One of the legacies of the command economy in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union is the development of a social protection system for vulnerable individuals focused on institutional care. It has been well established that the approach of removing a child or an adult from the family and the community is more expensive per client served than more inclusive approaches which are designed to support individuals within their own families and communities, main streaming them as much as possible. Institutional approaches also produce worse outcomes than community-based approaches…
