Tajikistan is part of the multi-country evaluation of national childcare reform initiatives with a strong focus on deinstitutionalisation (DI), including in particular for children with disabilities and other ‘difficult to place’ children with other six countries being Armenia; Bulgaria; Georgia; Moldova; Montenegro; and Serbia. The object of this evaluation is the national child care reform initiatives between 2009 to 2021 with a focus on deinstitutionalisation, including in particular for children with disabilities in the selected countries - Armenia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Georgia, Serbia, Belarus, Moldova and Tajikistan.
The purpose of the evaluation is to provide a rigorous assessment of national governments’ and UNICEF’s results to date (outcome and impact level) in DI child care reforms supporting children with disabilities and other highly marginalized and vulnerable children in the region – taking into consideration considerable variability across countries and sectors. This will provide objective assessment of strengths and weaknesses in approaches taken by different countries as well as insights on how to address possible system level bottlenecks. The evaluative focus is on contribution of multi-faceted interventions and policies to the observed outcomes and impacts. The evaluation will also be a formative and forward looking, being an important learning opportunity, both for UNICEF and its partners, especially governments in deriving lessons from the experience and existing evidence that can bring attention to the policies and good practices and inform UNICEF DI childcare programming.
