National Survey of Institutions for Children in Rwanda

The purpose of the survey was to obtain an accurate picture of the current institutional system and the children living within it which can be used to inform decision-making regarding the implementation of the reform strategy and provide a baseline against which progress can be measured in the future. For this reason Hope and Homes for Children, in partnership with the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion (MIGEPROF), conducted a national survey of all institutions for children in Rwanda. Key recommendations include an emphasis on workforce development to ensure that a highly skilled and well-resourced cadre of professionals is able to support the transition of children in institutions into alternative care.
