NOTE FOR
Subject:
Romania – progress in child protection
Attached you find a brochure on the progress in child protection in Romania, as produced
as part of the public awareness campaign of the Phare 1999 Children Programme. The
brochure is meant to inform the international community about the progress. Translations
in German, French, Italian and Spanish are underway.
The results of the Phare 1999 Children First Fund are now visible. For example, the
camin spital in Videle (judet Teleorman), which you visited in summer 2000, has been
closed and with Phare support transferred into a treatment/day-care centre for disabled
children. Teleorman is the first judet that has closed all large institutions, the last three as
part of the Phare 1999 Children First Fund, by creating a number of family type homes
(in average apartments), two day-care and treatment centres for disabled children, several
day-care centres and a centre for abused mothers/children (13 projects/1.3 M€).
Under the Phare 1999 Children First Fund a total of 110 projects are being implemented,
(19 M€). A total of 23 large institutions will be closed.
Last week the Phare 2001 Children First Fund has been launched and the contract for TA
signed, thus the multi-annual programme will continue without interruptions. The same
goes for the public awareness campaign.
