Systems and Polices

Family Care First is working with the Cambodian government to agree a common approach to child protection and system strengthening, which includes developing a national plan to strengthen the child protection mechanisms. We have also been providing technical support to the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation (MoSVY), including the development of reintegration guidelines, including for children who have disabilities or are displaying sexually harmful behavior.

Family Care First is supporting the development of an online case management system (OSCaR) which is now being utilized by 16 organizations and MoSVY to enable clearer data on vulnerable children and to enable easier referrals between organizations. Family Care First is also undertaking research into the online sexual exploitation of children in Cambodia.
