There is widespread global agreement that children should grow up safe and protected in families, rather than in harmful institutional care. In Rwanda, the Government has developed an ambitious programme of care reform and family strengthening called Tubarerere Mu Muryango (TMM), translated to Let’s Raise Children in Families.
This programme has been supported by UNICEF, and has seen over 3,000 children reunited with families and communities since 2012. The programme is rooted in Rwandan cultural values, which place a strong emphasis on family care.
This package includes the following materials documenting successes and lessons learnt from implementation of the child care reform programme between 2012 and 2018:
- Summary evaluation of the TMM programme: phase I
- Process and lessons learnt from care reform in Rwanda (2012-2018)
