The Evaluation look for the main findings, conclusions, and recommendations of an evaluation of the childcare and deinstitutionalization reforms in Montenegro for the period of 2009-2022. The evaluation was commissioned by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Europe and Central Asia Region Office (ECARO), as part of its multi-country evaluation of the impact of national childcare reforms across seven countries in Europe and Central Asia and conducted by Coram International.
The objectives of the evaluation as stated in the TOR, are:
• Assess the impact of government childcare policies and understand what worked and what did not in the deinstitutionalization of children, in particular children with disabilities and other ‘difficult to place’ children, how and why.
• Determine the effectiveness, impact, coherence, relevance and efficiency of national childcare reforms.
• Assess the actual and potential contribution of UNICEF’s work to national progress (including the outcomes and impacts of programming) in deinstitutionalization childcare reforms, including children with disabilities and other ‘difficult to place children;’
• Identify lessons and provide recommendations for refinement and potential scaling up of good practices to further support national governments in strengthening child protection systems.
