Report on National Assessment of Centres caring for Children with Disabilities in Rwanda

National Council of Persons with Disabilities, National Commission for Children, UNICEF

The purpose of the assessment was to review service delivery in centres for children with disabilities in Rwanda. The assessment generated evidence essential for advocacy, policy and programme development both for children in institutional care and children with disabilities living in their communities. Data were collected and analyzed for 49 of the 59 institutions listed by NCPD. After analysis, information was grouped in two parts: i) factual data about the institution regarding services offered and funding and ii) an appreciation of how services are provided to children enrolled at each institution. This report establishes relevant baseline information on institutional capacity including services offered, staffing levels and other parameters regarding care of children with disabilities.
