SOS-Kinderdörfer weltweit Hermann-Gmeiner Fonds Deutschland (HGFD) and the 5 locally registered SOS Children’s Villages National Associations Albania, Armenia, Belarus, North Macedonia and Ukraine, since October 2021, are successfully implementing the global programme entitled “A right to Family – Deinstitutionalisation to reform child protection systems”, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The project aims to improve children´s rights with a specific focus on supporting the reform of alternative childcare systems and the deinstitutionalisation process in the 5 project countries.

The programme will end in April 2025 and significant results are achieved so far in advocating for improved legal framework in childcare system, in strengthening the social service workforce to support the better protection and care of children, in raising awareness at all levels to promote family-based care and in developing of a range of community-based services and family-based care services. However, there is still a high need and demand from the target group to support governmental efforts to strengthen the childcare system in line with the principles and standards of international documents and goals, primarily by improving access to high quality foster care and community based social services. In this regard, HGFD and the 5 programme countries plan to develop a new programme as a follow-up initiative to the current programme, that seeks to strengthen and further advance the achieved results, by focusing on foster care system development and development of community based social services.
