The broad purpose of this assessment is to focus post-tsunami efforts and
resources to bring positive, culturally relevant and lasting changes to
institutions and systems that deal with orphaned or separated children, and to
find solutions that respect the child's identity, religion and right to grow up
in a family.
In the aftermath of the December 2004 earthquake and tsunami that devastated
Aceh province, UNICEF undertook this assessment of the situation of separated
and orphaned children, and in particular:
1. Make recommendations for formalizing/regularizing the situation of children
reunited with their extended family or other members of their community.
2. Make recommendations for deinstitutionalising the care system in Aceh and
proposing
alternative care options.
3. Identify the gaps and areas that will need improvement in the
legislative/regulatory framework.
4. Make recommendations for the further development of the social worker
training system and the training of social workers that will be involved in the
future care system.
