Terre des hommes - Child Relief,
is a Swiss foundation based in Lausanne, without preoccupation of political, racial or confessional bias has been active in Albania since 1993. In
Albania, Terre des hommes is currently implementing the CPSN project: Developing a Child Protection Safety Net in Albania, a multi donor and partner project. The CPSN project envisions
a fully-functioning statutory child protection system and a local community committed to taking proactive child protection actions in order to protect children against all forms of abuse,
violence, exploitation, neglect and/or trafficking.
"Developing a Child Protection Safety Net in Albania" Project envisions:
Establishing Child Protection Units –
Tdh is supporting the establishment and capacity development of Child Protection Units (CPU) in several municipalities, as the special institutional
structures for ensuring child protection at the local level. Envisioned as the key element in the development of a comprehensive child protection system in Albania, the CPUs work to identify
children in need or at risk of abuse, exploitation, violence and/or trafficking. The CPUs provide child protection through case management model, and offer direct support and services by
coordinating actions and protective measures taken by the various multidisciplinary actors involved.
Strengthening child protection within the education system –
Tdh is assisting schools to play an active part in the child protection system through a clear capacity building plan that
includes technical assistance to the Regional Directorates of Education and child protection training targeting school psychologists, teachers and directors in order for them to be better
equipped to identify children in need of support, refer them to adequate services and facilitate their integration in the school environment.
Supporting vulnerable communities –
In partnership with Roma organisations, Tdh supports the development of
Community Counselling Groups
which offer child protection advice and
counselling to vulnerable families and help identify and refer cases of children in need or at risk by linking them to the appropriate public and non-public service providers in their localities.
The rationale for this type of intervention relates to the notion that communities, especially vulnerable Roma and Egyptian minorities that suffer social and economic discrimination, can play
a significant role in ensuring safe environments for their children.
