1 financing deinstitutionalisation By Julia Down Hope and Homes for Children BiH

2 HOPE AND HOMES FOR CHILDREN BIH  Background › HHC in BiH since 1994 › Initially worked to improve conditions in institutions - but limited success › Moved focus to developing family-based services - but this did not automatically reduce number of children in institutions › Now concentrating on directly transforming institutions

3 Sarajevo SITUATION IN BIH  Population 3.8 mill  Divided into FBiH and RS  3000 children without parental care  Around 1100 children in 17 institutions

4 NATIONAL STRATEGY  POLICY ON PROTECTION OF CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTAL CARE AND FAMILIES AT RISK IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA 2006-2016  D eveloped by government with active support of UNICEF, SCUK, HHC and others  Officially adopted in FBiH in January 2008

5 NATIONAL STRATEGY  Outlines detailed and practical plan for reforming legislation, building capacity of CSWs, developing family-based alternatives to institutional care and transformation of institutions › Every institution to be transformed within 10 years › Model of transformation outlined in detail in the strategy - conforms to the model developed by HHC › Strategy calls for pilot project to test the model in the BiH context

6 ZENICA PROJECT  BACKGROUND › HHC as lead organisation in implementing pilot project › Negotiations with local authorities led to agreement to transform institution in city of Zenica › DC Most institution with capacity for 60 children aged 0-18+

7 TRANSFORMATION OF DC MOST  Main partner Zenica city municipality as founder of institution › HHC assessed every child and their families › Recommended a family-based placement for each child based on individual needs › Analysed average number of new children entering the institution every year in order to predict demand for new services

8 SERVICES TO REPLACE THE INSTITUTION  Prevention  Reintegration  Fostering  Local adoption  Young adult support  Small family home

25 CONCLUSION  Two very different DI projects within BiH context – demonstrates that there is no blueprint that can be applied in every situation but each location requires its own unique DI process  DI projects in Zenica and Gorazde demonstrate that DI not only provides greatly improved outcomes for children but also that it is financially viable in the BiH context
