FINAL EVALUATION Transforming Residential Institutions for Children and Developing Sustainable Alternatives
Overview
To respond to the needs of Government of Serbia and more specifically, Ministry
of Labour and Social Policy, UNICEF has made a decision to assist MoLSP in
their efforts to improve quality of services in residential placements and
decrease the number of children placed in residential institutions, through
their transformation. UNICEF, in close cooperation with MoLSP, designed the
project “Transforming Residential Institution for Children and Developing
Sustainable Alternatives”, which started in 2008, funded by the European Union.
The intervention was built on results and recommendations from a previous
external evaluation of deinstitutionalization process in Serbia (2006) and
Assessment of Child Protection in Serbia, conducted in 2007.
The overall purpose of the project was to reduce the number of children in
residential institutions in Serbia by 25% by 2011, through the transformation
of residential institutions and development of local institutional capacities
for provision of family support and family substitute services.
The implementation of the project was organized through four components, with
the establishment of four multi-sector thematic Working Groups:
1. Transformation of institutions and inter-municipal and operational planning
for children;
2. Strengthening accountability and monitoring mechanism;
3. General and specialized fostering;
4. Health-care family support in maternity hospitals.
Respective multi-sector Working Groups consisted of representatives of relevant
ministries, experts, practitioners, representatives of professional
associations and representatives of trade unions. The main role of Working
Groups was to advise and oversee project implementation as well as to provide
strategic direction and endorse policy documents and recommendations.
The technical and organizational support to these four Working Groups was
provided through four UNICEF contracting partners, who worked closely
