    Goals / Remit

    The mission of Hope and Homes for Children (HHC) is to be the catalyst for the global elimination of institutional care for children. Established in 1994, HHC has accumulated almost 25 years of international experience of reforming child protection systems through the process of de-institutionalization (DI). DI is the policy-driven process of reforming a country’s care system with a focus on transitioning from institutional to family and community based care, alongside the development of prevention and family support services. Ultimately, HHC aims to achieve systemic and lasting change by supporting the design of robust child protection systems, effective in preventing children’s separation from their families and providing quality alternative care.

    Main EU files targeted

    Hope and Homes for Children seeks to ensure that the legal and policy frameworks of the EU, including the financing instruments deployed internally and externally, prevent the separation of children from their families, promote the transition from institutional to family and community based care for children, and exclude investment in the maintenance, construction or refurbishment of institutional care facilities. Hope and Homes for Children actively follow all EU files that that may affect these priorities across the world, with a particular emphasis on the following:
    - The implementation and evaluation of key instruments of the 2021-2020 multi-annual financial framework, and new financial instruments for internal and external funding. This includes the European Commission proposals for the Common Provision Regulations (COM(2018) 375 final), European Regional Development Fund (COM(2018) 372 final), the European Social Fund Plus (COM(2018) 382 final), the Instrument for Pre-Accession III (COM(2018) 465 final) and the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (COM(2018) 460 final)
    - The Implementation of the EU Guidelines for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of the Child (2017).
    - The EU strategy on the rights of the child (2021-24) and Child Guarantee
    - The EU Disability rights strategy for 2021-30
    - The post-Cotonou process and resulting new agreement between the EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States
    - The implementation of the new European Consensus for Development, particularly with regards to child rights.
    - The implementation of the new EU Roma strategic framework for equality, inclusion and participation for 2020 - 2030
    - The implementation of the EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy for the period of 2020-2024

    Communication activities

    Hope and Home for Children is a leading partner of the regional initiative Transform Alliance Africa (http://transformallianceafrica.org/). It brings together 14 partner organisations, representing seven countries, committed to a vision of an Africa free of institutional care, where all children belong and grow up in safe and loving families. Its mission is to be the catalyst to end institutional care of children in Africa by bringing together the partners’ collective voices, knowledge, practice and experience to strengthen families. Through the Alliance, Hope and Homes for Children provide support for partners to convene key stakeholders – including government agencies – in their own countries to negotiate buy-in to national deinstitutionalisation reform.

    Hope and Homes for Children was also a founding partner of the Opening Doors for Europe’s Children (2013-2029; http://www.openingdoors.eu/). The campaign aimed to develop child protection systems that strengthen families and ensure family and community-based alternative care for children. It achieves this by leveraging EU policy and funding and by building advocacy capacity in civil society. The campaign ran across 16 European countries. It contributed to significant breakthroughs across a number of EU countries – particularly, the inclusion of deinstitutionalisation as one of the priorities for the use of European Structural and Investment Funds.

    Hope and Homes for Children has also produced and contributed to a number of publications, namely:
    - Hope and Homes for Children with the European Expert Group on the Transition from Institutional to Community based care (2019) "Checklist to ensure EU-funded measures contribute to independent living by developing and ensuring access to family-based and community-based services" https://deinstitutionalisationdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/eeg_checklist_onlineoffice.pdf)
    - Hope and Homes for Children (2017) “End the silence: The case for the elimination of institutional care of children” (http://www.hopeandhomes.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/End-the-Silence-Policy-Paper-Final-Copy.pdf)
    - Joint Lumos-Hope and Homes for Children (2017) “Putting Child Protection and Family Care at the Heart of EU External Action”(http://www.hopeandhomes.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Putting-Child-Protection-and-Family-Care-at-the-Heart-of-EU-External-Action_.pdf)
    - Opening Doors for Europe’s Children campaign (2018) “Maintain, Strengthen, Expand: How the EU can support the transition from institutional to family and community based care in the next multi-annual financial framework” (http://www.hopeandhomes.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Putting-Child-Protection-and-Family-Care-at-the-Heart-of-EU-External-Action_.pdf)

    Finally, it is the beneficiary of an EU Funded project:
    - The European Commission-EU Delegation to Sudan awarded a project in Sudan titled “Development of a safe environment for single mothers, pregnant women and women who give birth outside wedlock and their children” (April 2018 - March 2021). The project is funded through the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights with a budget of € 299.866, 93. It shall also contribute to the promotion of children’s rights in Sudan in particular in terms of reduction of child mortality, prevention of abandonment and institutionalization of children born out of wedlock.
