Supporting LPA to provide alternative family based-care to children without parental care
The project “Supporting local authorities of Moldova to provide alternative family based-care to children without parental care” is currently under implementation in partnership with the Ministry of Labour, Social Protection and Family and with local public authorities in the following raions: Anenii Noi, Singerei, Soldanesti, Floresti, Glodeni, Riscani, Ocnita, mun. Balti and Transdniestrian region with the financial support of World Childhood Foundation.
The current project is an extension of the support offered to local public authorities in the implementation of the Foster Care service that EveryChild launched in April 2009, covering initially 12 raions of the Republic of Moldova (Causeni, Nisporeni, Telenesti, Falesti, Edinet, Briceni, Donduseni, Criuleni, Leova, Cantemir, Stefan Voda, and Calarasi). Within current extension, the SAFPD teams from 5 out of the 12 mentioned local authorities, who budgeted funds for further service development in this year, continue receiving support this year from EveryChild Moldova.
The goal of the project is to ensure, by March 2011, the right to children to live and be protected in a family environment that guarantees them the opportunity to maintain their identity, to have access to education, health protection and to achieve minimum living standards in 50% of the regions of the Republic of Moldova.
The project organizes trainings for specialists from Social Assistance and Family Protection Departments/Sections, members of Commissions for the protection of the child in difficulty (Gate Keeping Commissions), representatives of Finance Departments, and community social assistants.
Local authorities are supported in the process of budgeting for the Foster Care Service and in retargeting resources from other areas to that of social assistance. At the same time, in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, Social Protection and Family, the project will develop a social services monitoring framework.
Foster Care (FC) is a social service offering the child, deprived temporarily or permanently of parental care, an optimum family environment for development. The goal of the FC service is to provide temporary protection to the child in difficulty, to ensure his/her socialization and reintegration into the biological, extended, or adopted family, and into the community.
In the Republic of Moldova, the FC service works in Chisinau Municipality, Cahul, Ungheni, Orhei, and Soroca raions. Currently, there are over 70 FC families in the country, and up 170 children have been offered Foster Care services.
