Evaluation of the Child Protection Programme in Armenia
Overview
1. Evaluation of the national child protection programme
The first purpose of this evaluation is to assess the key components and
results of the child protection system reform in Armenia between 2005 and 2007.
This reform initiative goes back to 2000, when a first de-institutionalization
initiative for children with disabilities and those deprived of parental care
started. This set off a – still ongoing - process of developing strategies for
the inclusion and rehabilitation of children at risk in their natural social
environment and through alternative, community-based services. These efforts
gained a new qualitative momentum in 2003 with the finalization of the Armenian
National Plan of Action (NPA) 2004 – 2015 for the Protection of the Rights of
the Child, and advanced further on in 2005 with the establishment of the
National Commission for Child Protection (NCCP) and the Child Protection Units
(CPUs) in all administrative districts (marzes) of Armenia including the
capital Yerevan. Concomitantly, local service provision has changed
qualitatively, and so have the work relationships between national, district
and local decision makers, professionals and service providers. This part of
the evaluation pays special attention to the scope, quality and implementation
of policies and legislative instruments that have been governing the country's
child protection system to date. It also describes the activities of the
Government, UNICEF and their key partners in this field, and identifies policy,
legislative, human and material resource gaps that hamper progress in achieving
a comprehensive system of protection of the rights of vulnerable children.
2.Evaluation of UNICEF's contribution
The second purpose of the evaluation is the assessment of UNICEF's
contributions to the child protection system reform, and how the results of
UNICEF's programming contribute to the goals of the NPA and those of the
Country Programme
