Abstract

This paper assesses all of the Centers for Unaccompanied Children (CUCs) in four prefectures of Rwanda during November 1994 using quantitative and qualitative methods. The purpose of the survey was to assess the quality of services delivered as well as the need for standards to be developed for planning and managing CUCs. This paper reveals that CUCs exhibit a large variability amongst themselves as weIl as numerous deficiencies in the quality ofservices delivered, and suggests the need for clear performance standards, and regular monitoring and supervision.
