Key Models with Regards to De-institutionalisation and Child Protection System Reform in Rwanda

Hope and Homes for Children, Rwanda

This document presents key models used by Hope and Homes for Children (HHC) in Rwanda with regards to deinstitutionalisation and child protection system reform, particularly regarding closure of institutions, development of alternative care and prevention of family separation and institutionalisation. Elements of our work related to decision making for children, prevention and care placements are included. Specifically, this includes a short case study of the pilot institutional closure in Kigali, our Community Hub model, ACTIVE family support, and the emerging Child Care Networks model which was piloted in Kigali and is now being scaled up in partnership with the National Commission for Children.
