SUMMARY
ChildFund International USA (ChildFund, www.childfund.org) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization registered in the USA and working in 24 countries throughout Asia, Africa, and the Americas to help children grow up healthy, educated, skilled, and safe. ChildFund has extensive programs in Uganda and Zambia which are implemented with full participation of youth, children, families, CBOs, local and national governments and NGOs.
ChildFund is leading a consortium for the USAID-funded Sustainable and Supportive Family Care and Protection Systems for Children Activity (the “Activity”) with proposed programs in Uganda and Zambia.
The Activity aims to develop stronger national and related subnational and community systems to achieve the following outcomes in targeted countries:

  1. focusing specifically on families at-risk of child-family separation, increase the capacities of families to raise their children in a nurturing, violence-free environment in which children’s fundamental needs are met.
  2. focusing specifically on children outside of family care, increase the capacities of families to enable children to reintegrate5 into their own families or live in family-based alternative care or domestic adoption.
  3. reduce the number of children in residential care facilities and increase the availability of family-based alternative care.
