FOREWORD
All children have a right to care and support from a loving family. However
there are an estimated 970,000 children below the age of 18 years who do
not have parents. In addition many more families are unable or unwilling
to properly care for their children due to social and economic conditions.
For this reason more than 800 childrens homes or orphanages have been
established in Nepal with the aim of caring for orphan or vulnerable
children. However placing children in residential care should be an option
of last resort. Many of those in childrens homes have parents or families
and the primary responsibility of care for these children should be
undertaken by their parents, families or communities.
Research has shown that in some institutions children are denied access
to their basic rights and may even be abused. In some cases childrens
homes are established without proper management or financial support
meaning that children are not looked after properly and even engaged in
negative activities to raise money to maintain these homes. Newspaper
reports have highlighted cases of physical and sexual abuse within childrens
homes.
All these cases highlight the need for proper coordination and monitoring
of childrens homes to ensure there are basic standards in place, abuse is
prevented, and that childrens homes are operated efficiently and
transparently in the best interests of each child. In addition there should
4
be strict criteria to ensure that the right children have access to residential
care.
This survey by CCWB and CPCS highlights that most childrens homes
are working for the best interests of children. In addition these institutions
themselves identify the need for increased monitoring, coordination and
support as well as the establishment of recognised minimum standards
for operation of childrens homes. In addition this report provides clear
recommendations for what needs to be done.
This survey should not be another exercise in research alone but should
be followed up with clear action by all stakeholders involved childrens
homes, donors and the government.
I urge all involved to take action on these findings with a matter of urgency.

INTRODUCTION
N
epal has recently emerged from over a decade of conflict, violence
and insecurity fuelled by poverty, inequality and poor governance and set
in a context of rapid social change. Although peace has been established
a large proportion of the population continues to live in conditions of social
and political uncertainty and economic insecurity.
An estimated 31% of the population of 27 million lives below the national
poverty line. Income disparities are increasing and a large section of the
population has poor access to even basic services: For the majority
insecurity is a way of life. Insecurity and high risks are exacerbated by the
social and economic exclusion confronting the most vulnerable groups in
Nepalese society (UNDP 2008 April report nepal in figure, Factsheet).
The population of children (under 18) was estimated to be 12.5 million in
2006 with an estimated 30% of children aged 5-14 years involved in child
labour. National organisations estimate that there are approximately 5000
street children in Nepal. UNICEF estimates that there are 990,000 orphans
aged 0 to 17 years in Nepal. (Unpublished report UNICEF 2008 Dec.)
Situation of Childrens Homes
There are an estimated 569 children homes in Nepal according to a recent
survey conducted by the Central Child Welfare Board, although this may
not include many organisations that run informally and have not been
legally registered. Of these homes, 386 are in the Kathmandu Valley with
only 183 outside of the valley.
19
Although basic minimum
standards for the management of
child care homes were adopted in
2003 and a Child Care Home
Monitoring Committee
established by the government in
2006, CWIN, a national child
rights organisation, estimated in
2007 that 2 out of 3 childrens
homes in Nepal are running in
risk situations with only token
support. CWIN estimated that
about 1500 children were at risk
in poorly managed childrens
homes and needed immediate
rescue (CWIN, 2007 Annual
Report).
CHALLENGES FOR
CHILDRENS
HOMES
Trend of running childrens
homes without formal
registration;
Adoption of children as a
profession in childrens
homes;
Fostering children in homes
who have biological parents;
Lack of knowledge on
residential care facilities and
child rights;
Lack of long-term vision and
Many childrens homes are
operating in Nepal for the best
interest of children. However due
to some negative incidents and
cases and a more general problem
of communication between
childrens homes, the public, the
government, donors and the
media there is a often confusion
about the role childrens homes
can play in creating a better
future for orphan and vulnerable
children and therefore for Nepal.
planning;
Lack of strong monitoring
mechanism;
Lack of alternative care
options (childrens homes
should be a last resort).
CWIN-NEPAL, Fact Sheet:
Situation of Child Care Homes and
Government Initiatives in Nepal
(November 2007)
Despite enormous energy spent for childrens protection, rehabilitation,
reintegration and education and many positive results, the media is
dominated by accounts of mismanagement, corruption, and abuse affecting
the reputation and image of all childrens homes.
10
Rationale for this Study
Childrens homes run largely independently of each other, adopting their
own policies and practices and working without supervision or support.
Different investigations have highlighted the occurrence of abuse among
children in childrens homes whether as a result of neglect or physical or
sexual abuse by staff and other children in the homes.
There is an urgent need to effectively monitor childrens homes to protect
children. In addition there is a need for funding and technical support to
enable committed and transparent childrens homes to attain practical
and realistic minimum standards of which they themselves have ownership.
The CCWB and CPCS International jointly realised this study to understand
the motivation of childrens homes to establish and participate in an
association of childrens homes in Nepal with the aim to improve the
standards of many childrens homes, to protect children in these institutions,
to identify ways to support these childrens homes effectively, and to
promote effective national monitoring systems. In addition we wished to
understand from childrens homes what role they can play in this process.
This study was conducted to identify these issues and to provide
recommendation as to how it should move forward with its intention to
support the child care sector in Nepal.

METHODOLOGY
t
his research was developed by CPCS International in coordination
with CCWB and ACR-International. The study collected information from
children's homes (NGOs) and from International Non-Governmental
Organisations (INGOs) supporting work with children in Nepal. A
quantitative research approach was used in this study. A structured
interview was developed for completion by respondents from children's
homes and INGOs.
Written informed consent was obtained from the participants before
participation. Study participants were given clear options on whether to
participate or not. It was also made clear that they could refuse to answer
any questions during the interview and terminate the interview at any
time they desire. Confidentiality of information was maintained by removing
all personal identifiers from questionnaires.
A total of 196 children's homes were covered in the study. These homes
are faithbased, Non-governmental, Governmental, Charity, Handicaped &
run under special act. These homes were covered from a total of 24 districts
in Nepal. Almost three out of five (57% - 112) homes covered were inside
the Kathmandu valley (Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur districts)
and the remaining 43 percent (84 homes) were from other districts.
All completed interviews were entered into a database while open ended
questions were listed and coded. Data entry and validity checks were
performed using dBase IV. After cleaning, the data was transferred into
the SPSS statistical software package for further processing and analysis.
INGOs supporting work with children were identified through the
Association of INGOs in Nepal (AIN) and requested to participate in this
survey. A total 14 INGOs participated. A different structured interview
was developed for INGO respondents. Given the size of this sample a
general summary of the opinions expressed by these INGOs has been
presented.
There are 15 stories which has asked among children in rehabilitation
center about their past stories how they come in contact with Children's
Home and about their experiences. It is relevant to the children homes.
It is not analysed and studied as research. It is collected by research team.

CHAPTER 1: Basic Profile of Children's Homes
a
total of 196 children's homes were covered in this survey based in
24 districts. 57% (112) of these homes were in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and
Bhaktapur, while the remaining 43% (84) were outside of the Kathmandu
Valley.
Date of Establishment
The majority
of children's
h o m e s
covered in
this study had
b e e n
established in
the last eight
years, since
2000,a total of
62% of homes.
Only 6% of
homes had
been running
before the
establishment of democracy in Nepal in 1990. 24.6% of homes were 'new',
having been established since the year 2005. In addition in 2003 there
appeared to be a peak in the establishment of children's homes, with 1 in
10 homes having been established in that year.
Significantly 9% of respondents were unable to state the date of
establishment of their children's home.

Number of Employees
The average number of employees in each home was 8 persons. However
a substantial proportion of the centres (46%) had less than five employees.
The average number
of employees in the
centres was higher
in homes located in
Kathmandu valley
(Average=8.5) than
in centres located
outside Kathmandu
valley (average =
6.3). It is notable
that more than 1 in
10 homes had 15 or
more employees.
Number of Children/Beneficiaries
Children's homes were found with numbers of resident children varying
from 3 to 50. The average number of children residing in each home was
35. However for homes in the Kathmandu Valley this figure was higher
with an average of 42 children while in homes located outside of the
Kathmandu Valley the average
number of children was 27. 24%
of homes in the Kathmandu Valley
and 12% of homes out of the valley
had,more,than,50,children.
Legal Status
Only 78% of children's homes had
been registered with the office of
the Chief District Officer (a legal
16
requirement of social welfare organisations including children's homes).
While 86% of homes in the Kathmandu Valley had been registered with
the CDO, outside of the valley this fell to only 70%.
In addition, only 61% were affiliated with the Social Welfare Council (SWC).
Not surprisingly, the proportion of those registered with the SWC was
higher in Kathmandu Valley (76%) where the SWC is located, than outside
of the valley (42%).

stayed there for two years. Later on we shifted to kalimati stayed
on rent. My mother used to work in other house and that used to
feed us.
My auntie informed my mother about an organization working for
the poor, needy and helpless children. So they came over the children
home to collect more information about rules and regulation of the
organization. Finally, we have been admitted in to the register of
this organization. And they have entered our name in the school
and like other girls we are also going to school, getting all the
facilities equally as other are getting. I am very interested in studies
I hope here this children home is providing us free fooding, shelter
and education which is good opportunity for those, who have really
very poor family condition. To make us stable and capable this
organization must touch the peak of the success in its aim.

PART 1: NGOs
CHAPTER 3: An Association of Children's Homes
R
espondents from children's homes were asked concerning their
views about the formation and functioning of an association of children's
homes.
Reasons for the Formation of an Association
A series of questions regarding the perceived benefits of the formation of
an association of children's homes were asked to the representative of the
homes. Of 196 children's homes covered in this study, representatives of
163 centres gave their opinion on these issues (83% of the sample).
27
1
All representatives except for one strongly agreed or agreed that a new
association is needed for promoting collaboration between children's homes.
Similarly, 98% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that this association
could help in improving relations with the government.
Almost all respondents strongly agreed or agreed that a new association
could protect and legally support NGOs to accomplish their mission (98%)
and to ensure donors that the NGOs are maintaining their standards
(94%). They also believed that the formation of a new association could
help promote proper management (95%), train employees/caregivers (97%),
procure financial resources (96%), and help with the legal registration
process (95%).
Significantly very few representatives (less than 2%) strongly disagreed
or disagreed on any of the above mentioned issues.
Perceived Benefits of an Association
Less than 23% of respondents agreed that existing networks represented
children's homes well. 93% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that
the formation an association could be useful. 95% strongly agreed or agreed
that the establishment of a support office would be useful.
Overall, 69% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that a label would
help reaching basic quality standards. A higher proportion of respondents
from outside of the Kathmandu Valley agreed with this (79%) compared
to those respondents from within the Kathmandu Valley (62%). Overall
14% of respondents disagreed with the notion that a label would help reach
basic quality standards.
The majority of respondents (67%) strongly agreed or agreed that a label
would help their NGO (children's home). However, 15% of respondents
disagreed with this. 66% of respondents did not think that the concept of
a label was 'too commercial' while 13% did believe that it was too commercial.
28
The majority of respondents (62%) did not fear that their organisation
would lose control/independence by joining an association of children's
homes. The proportion was slightly higher among respondents from the
Kathmandu Valley (65%) than from those located outside of the valley
(60%).
Finally, almost all respondents (93%) strongly agreed or agreed that an
association would make it easier to engage with government agencies.
Establishment of an Association of Children's Homes
Almost all respondents (96%) strongly agreed or agreed that a new
association should be formed.
90% of representatives believed that the governmental Central Child
Welfare Board (CCWB) and an association should jointly collaborate to
coordinate homes.
29
1
94% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that CPCS-INT should
facilitate or support the formation of an association but not that it should
select members of the central committee (73% disagreed that CPCS-INT
(ACR) should do this). Similarly, almost all respondents (94%) strongly
agreed or agreed that the CCWB should facilitate/support the formation
of the association.
CPCS-INT (ACR-INT) should facilitate/support
the formation of the association
A new association should be formed
CPCS-INT (ACR-INT) should facilitate/support
the formation of the association
CPCS-INT should select member of
the central committee
CCWB should facilitate/support the
formation of the association
More than two-thirds of respondents believed that I/NGOs should themselves
form an association. However, 22% disagreed on this statement. A large
difference was found between respondents from within and outside of the
Kathmandu Valley. 86% of respondents from outside of Kathmandu valley
and 54% from within the valley agreed that I/NGOs themselves should
form an association.
30
More than four-fifths of the respondents strongly agreed or agreed that
members of the central committee should be elected democratically while
64% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that donor representatives
from AIN and donors should be included in the committee.
Almost all of the respondents (94%) strongly agreed or agreed that the
association should have members from all over Nepal. Significantly almost
all respondents (90%) disagreed that the association should be formed in
collaboration with Kathmandu-based homes.
A large majority of the respondents (91%) strongly agreed or agreed that
the association should establish child complaint centre. Similarly, a large
majority of the respondents (90%) strongly agreed or agreed that funds
should be provided by the association to children's homes.
31
1
94% of respondents reported that their organisation/children's home would
accept to participate as a founding member of the committee of an
association. For those homes within the Kathmandu Valley this represented
97% of respondents while for those homes outside of the valley 91%
expressed willingness to participate as a founding member.
A large majority of the respondents (89%) strongly agreed or agreed that
the association and CCWB should jointly form complaint centres. Similarly,
an overwhelming majority of the respondents (91%) strongly agreed or
agreed that association members should receive funds to reach measurable
standards (minimum standards), and that trainings should be managed
by CCWB and the association (94%).
On the contrary, only about half of the respondents (58%) strongly agreed
or agreed that the association should cover all the children's homes including
32
those who work on adoption. It is notable that 23% of respondents disagreed
that the association should cover such homes who work on adoption.
Similarly 20% of respondents strongly disagreed or disagreed that 'it is
useful to build a relation between children's homes and those child care
homes who focus on adoption'.
Only 20% of respondents agreed that the present adoption policy and laws
were suitable while 24% strongly disagreed or disagreed with the present
adoption policy and laws. However, more than half of the respondents
(55%) were ignorant about the present adoption policy and laws.
Membership Process
80% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that membership of the
association should only be granted to a children's home once it had signed
a charter with some commitments. However 16% of respondents in
Kathmandu Valley and 9% of respondents outside of the valley disagreed
on this issue. 71% of respondents believed that a charter should be signed
by donor agencies as well as children's homes.
61% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that membership should
only be granted on condition of respecting measurable minimum standards.
However, 34% respondents disagreed with this statement. A higher
proportion of homes outside of Kathmandu disagreed with this (42%)
compared to those homes working within the valley (25%).
33
1
Administration of an Association
Almost all respondents (96%) reported that formatted annual accounts of
the association were useful. Similarly, almost all respondents (95%) reported
that publication of annual reports was useful. Furthermore, it was also
reported by 98% of respondents that the funds of the association should
be transparent.
Creating an Effective and Transparent Association
Respondents were asked to suggest ways in which an effective association
could be created. 21% of respondents suggested that an association will be
effective if it has strong implementation policies. Similarly 14% that if the
new association included all children's homes it would be more effective.
13% of respondents identified that an association should have effective
coordination and 11% that it should be transparent and have good policies.
12% of respondents did not have ideas on how to make a new association
effective.
34
In terms of ensuring transparency 42% of respondents reported that
politics/politicians should be avoided. A higher proportion of the respondents

PART 1: NGOs
SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS (NGOs)
T
his survey of children's homes covered a total of 196 homes representing
approximately 78% of children's homes registered with the government
agency, the Central Child Welfare Board (CCWB).
The key findings of the study in relation to its objectives were as follows:
CHILDREN'S HOMES and their BENEFICIARIES
Many children's homes may not have the experience or resources to
deliver professional services: 25% of homes were relatively new having
been established in the last 3 years (in an environment where there
is little support for capacity-building) while 46% of homes had less
than 5 employees. In addition, 24% of homes in Kathmandu Valley
and 12% of homes outside had 50 children or more in their care
requiring significant resources;
Many children's homes are not legally registered: Only 78% of children's
homes had been registered with the CDO (a legal requirement);
Many children in homes are not orphans: 19% of homes had no children
who were double orphans and 40% of children's homes had less than
25% of their beneficiaries who were double orphans (i.e. they had a
mother or father alive);
Vulnerability/risk may not be the most determining factor in admission
of children to children's homes: More male children are residing in
children's homes than females. This suggests that it is not necessarily
family situation of children which is the primary determinant for
referral to children's homes.
Summary of Key Findings (NGOs)

in 3 respondents said I/NGOs should form an association themselves,
more than 80% of respondents said the central committee should be
democratically elected, and 64% agreed that representative from AIN
and donors should be included in the central committee. In addition,

he study examined minimum standards which respondents
perceived should be maintained by the association and its members
through a series of questions.
All respondents declared that establishment of minimum standards for
children's homes would be useful. For example, all respondents reported
that maintaining children individual files, space and facilities, hygiene and
sanitation, child protection policy, staff qualifications/trainings, internal
code of conduct, training for staff about kids activity and training for
management are useful measurable standards for children homes. In
addition all respondents agreed that the publication of annual reports was
important as well as the 13 respondents agreeing that transparency in the
origin of funds was needed.
Respondents who perceived useful
standards to be maintained
64
Perceived causes of not fulfilled minimum
standard set by Nepal government to run child
care homes
A half of the respondents reported that reason for not fulfilling the minimum
standards by children homes was 'weak government's monitoring system'.
Similarly, a considerable number of respondents perceived that the reasons
were 'financial problem', lack of awareness in implementation' and lack of
training. It is notable that 3 respondents mentioned that the reasons for
not fulfilling the minimum standards were 'children homes as a business'
and 'lack of expertise' on the topic.
Training Needed
A large majority of the respondents (9 out of 14) were willing to financially
support training for staff from children's homes, although 1 INGO stated
that this should be through a government channel. 5 INGOs did not respond
on this question.
Half of the respondents reported that training related to child care is
65

needed for children's home staff. Similarly, a considerable number of the
respondents (6 out of 14) reported that child case management training
is needed. Other identified needs were adolescent reproductive health
training (2), overall staff development training (1) and psychosocial care
and support (1). 4 respondents did not answer to this question.

espondents were asked about what they thought the role of
CPCS-INT, the CCWB and other government agencies should be
in an association of children's homes.
Perceived role of INGOs
A large majority of the respondents (11 out of 14) agreed or strongly agreed
that INGOs should be included as advisors in a children homes association
or network. On the other hand, only 5 respondents agreed or strongly
agreed that INGOs should be included as members in the association or

Perception about involvement of donor agencies
Almost all respondents (12 out of 14) perceived that donor agencies should
be involved in an association or network of children's homes. Half of the
respondents reported that the role of donor agencies should be as advisors.
Similarly, 4 respondents each reported that donor agencies should be
involved in financial support and should support in capacity-building.
Three respondents reported that donor agencies should be involved in an
association or network of children's homes in the capacity of 'enforcement
in maintaining standards' and in 'a monitoring role'. However, one respondent
perceived that donor agencies should not be involved in an association or

Perceived role of ACR-INT
Unlike respondents of child homes, very few respondents from INGOs
stated a role for ACR-INT. Half of the respondents reported that they were
unaware about the role of ACR-INT. Two respondents reported that ACRINT should provide technical support to children's homes and the network
or association.
Perceived role of CCWB
Respondents identified various roles for the CCWB. For example, a large
majority of the respondents (9 out of 14) reported that CCWB should
monitor children's homes. Similarly, four respondents reported that CCWB
should play the role of legal advisor to children's homes. Likewise, the
other four respondents reported that CCWB should play the role of facilitator
for homes. Three respondents reported that CCWB should help the children's
homes to achieve minimum standards. Only two respondents stated that
'evaluating' and coordinating should be the roles of CCWB.

Perception on Inclusion of Governmental
Organizations
A large majority of the respondents perceived that governmental
organizations should be involved in an association or network of children's
homes. However, respondents named different governmental organizations.
For example, three respondents reported that some representative from
police force (3 out of 14) should be included in the network/association of
children homes. Some other reported that representative from ministry
of women children and social welfare (2), CCWB (2), Supreme court (2),
ministry of law and justice (1), ministry of local development (1), CDO
office (1), ministry of homes (1) should be included in a network association
of children homes. On the other hand, a considerable number of respondents
(4 out of 14) did not respond on this issue.

PART 2: INGOs
SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS (INGOs)
T
his survey of children's homes covered a total of 196 homes
representing approximately 78% of children's homes registered
with the government agency, the Central Child Welfare Board
(CCWB).
The key findings of the study in relation to its objectives were as
follows:
AN ASSOCIATION OF CHILDREN'S HOMES
An association of children's homes is needed: the majority of INGOs
participating in the survey agreed that an association or network of
children's homes is needed and that existing networks do not sufficiently
represent children's homes;
Support should be provided to an existing network: the majority of
respondents agreed that an existing network should be supported
rather than establishing another structure;
A quality 'label' is useful to maintain basic standards: the majority of
INGOs replied that a label would be useful to ensure that children's
homes maintain basic standards;
INGOs identify benefits from the formation of an association: the
majority of INGOs believed an active network or association would
ensure basic standards, facilitate relations with government agencies
and ensure proper management and training of staff in children's
homes ;
Summary of Key Findings (INGOs)
73
1
Need for a support office for children's homes: respondents agreed that
a support office was important for children's homes and could support
in short term guidance and advice, emergency financial support,
infrastructure development and in empowering children's homes to
self-sustainability.
MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR CHILDREN'S
HOMES RESPONDED BY HOMES
Minimum standards should cover BASIC STANDARDS (hygiene,
sanitation, space, facilities), LEGAL STATUS of children and
organisation, DOCUMENTATION (children's files), EDUCATION ,
RECREATION, CHILD PARTICIPATION, CHILD PROTECTION
POLICY, HUMAN RESOURCES (staff training and qualifications),
MANAGEMENT (training and code of conduct);
Membership conditional on a commitment to minimum standards: the
majority of INGOs agreed that achievement of minimum standards
should be mandatory for all members of an association or network;
Lack of monitoring, resources, awareness and capacity are the main
reasons for children's homes which do not attain basic standards:
respondents identified weak government monitoring, lack of financial
resources, a lack of awareness and training among children's homes
as the reasons why basic standards are not reached in some children's
homes;
THE ROLE OF CCWB and CPCS-INT (ACR)
The CCWB should be involved in monitoring children's homes: the
majority of respondents identified that the CCWB should monitor
children's homes and in addition a number of INGOs identified that
the CCWB should provide legal advice/support and play the role of
facilitator for children's homes;
74
Majority unsure on the role CPCS-INT should take in an association
or network: the majority of respondents were not sure on the role
CPCS-INT (ACR) should take in an association or network although
2 respondents identified that this should be technical support;
Other government agencies should be involved in the association and
network of children's homes: the majority of respondents reported that
government agencies should be involved in an association or network
and in particular identified the police, Ministry of Women Children
and Social Welfare, and the Central Child Welfare Board as agencies
who should be involved.

13 Year , Class: 7
I
used to stay in village with my family. But due to poor condition
and the no good quality of education I have been brought by my
father close friend. And I and my sister Kalpana were brought at
Bauddha. Later on, the house owner in which we were staying on
rent, they lady informed my uncle that there is a hostel take the
admission from the guardians whose children's are helpless and
needy. Its gives free staying, fooding and free education to the
children but we need to pay some initially amount to the organization.
By the time it was made done by the old lady and that's
how we have entered in CPCS but the matter of taking money while
admission was totally fake. Later on, we came to know that the old
lady have cheated many other people by taking initially payment
from the parents and guardians.
I am staying under the privilege of organization from last four years.
When I was first entered in to CPCS, I see many people at the same
time. And that time there was less number of girls and the number
of boys were high, so it was like title bit scary to stay among then.
But luckily after few weeks we have been shifted to Maharajgung
Girls home .we have been learning basic schooling knowledge in
the hostel itself and in new session we have been sent to the school.
I was in class four and kalpana (sister) in class nursery. Since then,
we both are regular to our studies. Now our hostel is in Sanepa. We
have got all together 24 girls. And we know each other how and in
what condition we have entered in to this home. So we tried to
understand each other emotional concepts and staying united. And
happy to get all kind facilities which in provide by the organization.
I wish this home will achieve its goal of upbringing the status of
the children.

Child Care Homes:
Present Situation and Challenges
-Madhav Pradhan
President CWIN Nepal
F
amily is an ideal place where children grow up and get proper
socialization. But the reasons like death of one or both parents, dysfunctional
family, exploitative situations, attraction to the urban areas, conflict or
economic problems etc lead children to difficult circumstances which might
bear negative consequences in the lives of children. There is a high possibility
of such children landing in situations at risk for proper development of a
child. In Nepal, most of the children are living in difficult circumstances
like child labor, street children, children who are victims of trafficking and
abuse, drug abuse, differently able children, victims of internal armed
conflicts etc.
The initiation of childcare home started with the welfare perspective. It
was for the welfare of the children at difficult circumstances that the
individuals or organizations started these homes. It was more guided by
the charity and welfare outlook. But today there has been a wide recognition
National & International Experts Views

of the fact that wider development of the children calls for a right based
perspectives. Working with children is a very sensitive area. The homes
are not only moulding the future of the society; they are dealing with the
"present" of these children. Therefore, it is very essential that the home
acknowledge the rights based approach in its philosophy and practice in
the child care home.
In the recent years, child care homes have emerged as an institution
working for the protection and development of children in difficult
circumstances. Establishment and running of such Child Care Homes is
increasing across the country every year. According to survey made by
CCWB (Central Child Welfare Board) in 2008, total of 454 child care homes
(321 registered and 133 unregistered) have been established so far. 11969
children (6698 boys and 5271 girls) are living in these homes at present
(CCWB unpublished report). Thus, various factors have been contributing
for the increment of child care homes. These child care homes have been
found to be working as crisis centers, transit homes, and socialization
centers, institutions for children at risk, homes for children without parents
and correctional homes. Child care home is the shelter for the survival of
children, their protection, development, and promotion of child participation
as well. They have been providing care and support education, health
services and safety; as well as protection and welfare to the orphaned and
vulnerable children through different programs within the centers.
Child care homes have contributed much more for the protection and
promotion of the right of homeless, abandoned and orphaned children
through different ways. Large numbers of homeless, helpless, and abandoned
children have been benefited by these homes. They also seem to have been
practicing right based approach in their programs in these days. But, with
the course of time and a decade long political conflict in the country many
challenges have arisen to be addressed by these child care homes. Numbers
of homeless, orphans and abandoned has increased to a large extent in one
hand, while there is a high need to put the issues of children in constitution
assembly and ensure their rights, on the other hand.
80
In the same context majority of grown up youths of these child care homes
are wandering in search of higher education, appropriate jobs and safe
shelters. In addition to this, proper management of the child care homes,
maintaining of minimum standard set by the government, implementation
of child protection policy within their homes, institutional development
etc. have come to be the major issues to be addressed for the development
of child care homes itself and also for ensuring the rights of children living
in these homes. Likewise, the social, emotional, psychological and intellectual
growth of the child is also equally important.
The child care home is facing many challenges. Some of the challenges are
creating and maintaining the minimum standards set by the government,
managing the resources of the home, conflict management within the
home, handling the diverse issues of each individual child, adopting the
right based approaches within the home, and participation in the home,
fulfilling the need to meet children's physical, mental, emotional and
spiritual well being and ensuring children's secured future after attaining
adulthood.
Realizing the problems and challenges of the child care homes, CWIN
initiated a network of the child care homes with incredible background to
work on the common problems from policy level to implementation level.
Thus a network named Child Care Homes Network-Nepal (CNET-Nepal)
was established in 2000. From its inception, it has been working as umbrella
organization of child care homes in Nepal. It had drafted a minimum
standard for child care homes in Nepal and submitted to the CCWB on
the basis of which CCWB endorsed the Minimum Standard for Child Care
Homes-2060(B.S). Recently, it has submitted Child Protection Policy for
Child Care Homes to CCWB for its endorsement. Beside these policy level
works, it has been organizing various consultations, meetings, workshops,
trainings, orientations etc. for raising awareness and capacity building of
child care homes and to draw the attention of concerned agencies and
stakeholders upon the issues.

Charting a New Course for
Permanency Planning
By Joseph Aguettant
Delegate
Foundation Terre des hommes
A
1
ccording to the Central Child Welfare Board , there are approximately
12'000 children in children's homes or orphanages across the country. A
study conducted by UNICEF and Terre des hommes with the assistance
of CREHPA estimated this number to reach 15'000 at a minimum. The
thousands of children living in unregistered centres should be added to
this figure.
CCWB categorized child care homes (hereinafter "centres" or "child centres")
in four categories, A, B, C and D. According to the official survey published
in June 2008, only 6 child centres (1.32% were found in category A,
operating above minimum standards. Only 56 centres or 12.33% were
found in category B which managed to achieve minimum standards whereas
the vast majority were operating below standards (194 centres or 42.73%)
or "far below" the norms (198 centres or 43.61%). Central Child Welfare
Board, Report on Survey of the ChildCare Homes, June 2008.
82
For the vast majority of these children, whatever their number is,
permanency planning is not likely to happen in the near future. Permanency
planning is defined as both a process and a result that includes a child and
at least one committed adult (preferably a couple), who provides a safe,
stable and secure parenting relationship and love; an unconditional
commitment, and lifelong support in the context of reunification, a legal
domestic or intercountry adoption, or guardianship; and in which the child
has the opportunity to maintain contacts with important persons, including
siblings.
Permanency planning is both a process (setting a goal and chart out on a
clear course to reach that goal) and a result. To achieve this result is
essential to the child's stability, protection and development.
Conversely, a child who does not benefit from permanency planning is
likely to be devoid of a permanent loving relationship with an adult, that
is a guardian who will respect, love and help the child develop.

UNICEF, Terre des hommes (2008) Adopting the Rights of the Child. Unpublished data.
83
1
The UNICEF Terre des hommes study concluded that planning for a child's
reintegration was not taking place when the child arrives in the centre.
For the vast majority of centres, it is taking place when the child reaches
SLC level (28.3%) or 18 years old (26.8%).
One important recommendation of the study was that no child centres
should 'specialize' in intercountry adoption. Centres should be strongly
encouraged to explore a wide array of options for children. Reintegration
planning should happen the day the child is admitted to the centre.
Equally importantly, intercountry adoption should be incorporated within
a comprehensive child and family social welfare policy. Steps toward this
goal include coherent legislation, complementary procedures and coordinated
competences. Such a policy would ultimately incorporate support for
families in difficult situations, prevention of separation of children from
their families, and the reintegration of children in care into their family
of origin, into kinship care, or through domestic adoption, and, as more
temporary measures, into foster or residential care.
It should be acknowledged that intercountry adoption under new Conditions
and Procedures will provide a permanent home to children. The number
however will, and shall remain, on the low side. The remaining children
in institutions should not be forgotten, especially if more children are
institutionalized in the months and years to come. Terre des hommes as
a child rights-focused organisation is quite concerned over the documented
increase in residential care.
Evidence from other countries does not support the notion that intercountry
adoption, while a solution for some, reduces institutional care for the rest.
On the contrary, data suggests that it may contribute to the continuation
of institutional care and the resulting harm to children. Browne, K;
Hamilton-Giachritsis, C; Johnson, R and Ostergren, M (2006) 'Overuse of
institutional care for children in Europe?', in British Medical, Journal,
332, pp 485-87.
Attempts to regulate the number of child centres that are accredited and
allowed to conduct intercountry adoption is a welcome development. It
84
is unclear whether this will be sufficient to reverse the upward residential
care trend. In recent years, there has been a large increase in the number
of new child centres in Nepal. Just over half (56 per cent) of child centres
in the three study sites were less than five years old. In the Kathmandu
Valley, this figure rose to 61 per cent. In addition, 47 per cent of centres
in Kathmandu and 58 per cent of centres in Pokhara had changed location
at least once since they were established.
The establishment and monitoring of minimum standards is a welcome
development. However, none of the existing standards (as forwarded by
CCWB in December 2008) include permanency planning.
With these concerns in mind, a group of concerned agencies involved in
seeking permanency of options for children of Nepal have joined forces to
develop domestic permanency programmes. They all share the same belief
that institutionalization of a child for extended periods of time should be
the last resort.
While intercountry adoption has officially re-opened in October 2008 with
the conclusion of the accreditation process for foreign agencies and child
centres, permanency options like kinship and domestic adoptions are
comparatively underdeveloped and underutilized. A proper legal framework
is lacking and child protection systems remain to be developed throughout
the country.
An international conference will allow participants to take stock of where
we are, two years after the first intercountry adoption conference. This
event was organised by the Ministry for Women, Children, and Social
Welfare with Central Child Welfare Board and Child NGO Federation
Nepal. Nepal Children's Organization was the co-organiser. This time the
concept would be to focus on alternative care to parental care, intercountry
adoption being one such alternative. Emphasis will be placed on foster
care, kinship, community-based care and domestic adoption.
In the near future, Terre des hommes in partnership with other organisations
will introduce permanency planning as part of a national consultation
85
1
which will include all actors included in residential care in Nepal.
Permanency options will be discussed in accordance with the logical order
in which they ought to be examined for a child. The notions of "reasonable
efforts" and "adequate period of time" will be discussed as part of the first
three themes.
To introduce and pilot-test child protection systems, prevention and
family preservation (Theme No. 1)
To develop kinship and foster care as alternatives to parental care
(Theme No. 2)
To review the need for sensitization, promotion through role models
and legal reform in relation to domestic adoption (Theme No. 3)
To provide a detailed roadmap to signature and ratification of The
Hague Convention and follow-up on the Declaration of Kathmandu on
Intercountry Adoption; Standards of Practice for organisations engaged
in ICA and funding of permanency options (Theme No. 4)
Practical measures for de-institutionalization of children (Conclusion)
Terre des hommes, almost 50 years of action
for children
Since its creation in 1960 by Edmond Kaiser, the movement has striven
to be both ambassador for children in distress and their means of survival.
Since the beginning, Terre des hommes has based itself on the joint efforts
of volunteers and salaried staff.
Terre des hommes has been present as much in the forefront of major,
media-highlighted disasters in the past decades (the war in Algeria, famines
in Biafra, Bangladesh and Ethiopia, civil war and conflicts in Afghanistan,
in Sri Lanka, Bosnia, and Kosovo) as it has been in the field of forgotten
or unknown distress (against child trafficking, paedophile networks, etc.),
and has endeavored to act in both emergency and long-term situations.
86
Since 1990, the movement has made every effort to render the effect of its
projects sustainable by endeavoring to strengthen networks of organizations
working for children's welfare and to contribute to the institutional
development of its operational partners.
Terre des hommes now holds a focal position in Switzerland and in many
other countries as a non-confessional organisation in the field of aid to
vulnerable children. The movement is present throughout Switzerland,
with fifty-three groups and sections that bring together more than 2,500
volunteers.

RECOMMENDATIONS

ACR

Article 31 (CRC): States must recognize " the
right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in

Article 3 (CRC): "In all actions concerning children

consideration."
CONCLUSIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS
R
espondents from children's homes (NGOs) and from INGOs clearly
identified that an association or network of children's homes is necessary
in Nepal as existing structures do not adequately represent the interests
of children's homes and most importantly their beneficiaries.
However INGOs in particular highlighted that this should not involve the
establishment of a new network but that an association should be developed
through supporting and strengthening existing networks. Presently CNET
is the only such network representing a number of children's homes and
therefore it would be important to work with this network to support and
strengthen it providing greater support to children's homes and increase
membership.
Both NGOs and INGOs identified that an effective association or network
should be national with the involvement of different stakeholders (INGOs,
donors, government agencies) as well as children's homes. The role of these
stakeholders should be limited to advisors within the association or network
as well as providing financial support and undertaking a monitoring role.
In particular the CCWB is identified by respondents to play a key role in
the monitoring of children's homes.
Respondents believe an association is needed with the following qualities:

building, access to funding, support infrastructure development, and
empower children's homes towards sustainability.
A condition of membership is agreed by all to be the achievement of
commonly agreed minimum standards. Respondents were positive about
the idea of a quality 'label' given to demonstrate the attainment of these
standards. While it is recognised that the reason that basic standards may
not be achieved is due to lack of monitoring, financial problems and a lack
of awareness or capacity it is understood that the association or network
should support children's homes to achieve these standards.
In particular all respondents agreed that the establishment of a support
office providing technical support (training, information, legal support)
for children's homes was important to achieve minimum standards and
empower children's homes towards sustainability through capacity-building
and short- and long-term advice.
The role of CPCS-INT (ACR) within this framework was generally identified
by NGOs and INGOs as providing support to initiate this process through
financial and technical support for the above initiatives while ownership
of the association or network is clearly that of the children's homes.
Given the clearly identified need for an association of children's homes as
described and the willingness of children's homes to be involved and to
reach minimum standards it is recommended that CPCS-INT should
urgently move forward in coordination with CCWB to act upon these
findings.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Support the Development of an Association of Children' Homes
through CNET
CPCS-INT should provide a facilitating role to support the development
of a national association or network of children's homes in Nepal with the
active participation of the CCWB and children's homes across Nepal as
92
well as providing funding support for this process. As identified by
stakeholders it would be more appropriate to engage with an existing
network rather than establishing a new structure.
2. Support a Process for the Formation of Minimum Standards
for Children's Homes
CPCS-INT should support the CCWB and CNET to develop governmental
statutory standards for the operation of children's homes which are practical
and realistic and developed with the participation of children's homes
across Nepal.
3. Identify and Support Interventions to Support Children to be
Supported by their Families or Communities
Given that many children in children's homes might be able to stay with
their families or communities if other support is identified, CPCS-INT
should work with stakeholders to identify family-based and communitybased solutions to ensure that the use of children's homes for children is
a last resort and only used where necessary.
4. Establishment of a Technical Support Centre for Children's
Homes
CPCS-INT should support the establishment of a technical support centre
for children's homes, providing training and specialist support for children's
homes. This should be established through the association to ensure
sustainability and access for children's homes across Nepal.
5. Provide Funds and Support for Children's Homes to Attain
Minimum Standards
Through the association ACR-INT should provide funds and technical
support (through the technical support centre) to enable children's homes
to meet identified minimum standards.
Conclusions and Recommendations

6. Provide Assistance to the CCWB for Monitoring and
Coordination
CPCS-INT (ACR-INT) should work in coordination with the CCWB in
implementing the above initiatives and should provide assistance to the
CCWB (and DCWBs) to develop capacity of children's homes and provide
resources for the effective monitoring of children's homes.
