| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of the study is to investigate the challenges of intercountry adoption and come up with feasible policy alternatives that can contribute to the implementation of child rights in the country. A qualitative study is used which included both primary and secondary data. In order to achieve the results, purposive sampling is used in identifying and selecting appropriate organizations and respondents in the study. Relevant information was collected through key informant interview from experts of MoWCYA and four nongovernment organizations (2 local and 2 international). Data thematically organized and analysed qualitatively based upon logical and descriptive analysis. The study was able to find out that the Ethiopian government has adopted different policies and conventions on the right of children. Despite some notable progresses, child fundamental rights have remained major challenges in the country.Legislatives/policies introduced over the past years have not made significant difference to the implementation of alternative child care packages. Systemic inadequacies, illegal financial gains and corruption, child trafficking, buying selling, and abducting and falsification of documents have been recognized as major problems facing in the intercountry policy implementation. Therefore, effective implementation, monitoring and evaluation of pro-children policies/legislative have sought to decrease the prevalence of the problems. Wherever and whenever intercountry adoption is applied as a measure of last resort and before institutional care, it should be carried out based on the principle of the best interest of the child | en_US |
