Evaluation of the Family Support and Foster Care Project (FS&FC) and Prevention of Infant Abandonment and De-institutionalisation Project (PIAD)
Overview
The projects represent the first effort to introduce alternative child care
services in the country. Since they are small-scale initiatives, this cannot
be expected to make a significant difference in reducing the number of children
in institutions. From UNICEF perspective, therefore, the
relevant evaluation question is what contribution the projects are making
towards the development of a full-fledged gatekeeping system in Georgia. In
particular, the evaluation discussed: 1) whether the two projects have
succeeded in establishing good practices in gatekeeping, which can have a
demonstration effect and be scaled-up; and 2) whether they managed to influence
government policies towards adopting a family and community-based approach to
child protection.
The complementarity between the two projects justified a joint evaluation,
although the analysis also looked at the specific characteristics of each
project in terms of implementing agency, age target, strategy and approach.
The evaluation falls at critical stages of both projects' cycles, at the time
when major projects' components have just been, or are shortly going to be,
taken over by the government. The evaluation is thus expected to provide
lessons on what is needed to establish a full-fledged gatekeeping system,
assisting therefore the government, UNICEF, and projects' implementers to
fulfil their mandates in this context.
