Causal Framework of Child Institutionalization in Moldova

This graphic provides a visual representation of the causal framework of children’s institutionalization in Moldova. It was developed as part of the USAID/DCOF-funded project “Protecting children in Moldova from family separation, violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation” as part of a technical proposal submitted to the USAID/DCOF. The graphic highlights the many immediate, underlying, and basic causes that have led to the placement of 4,500 children without parental care in long-term residential care in Moldova.
