1. Context and rationale
1.1 About SOS Children’s Villages
SOS Children’s Villages works for children and young people in 137 countries and territories, working in more than 2000 programme locations worldwide. We work together with a single vision: every child belongs to a family and grows with love, respect and security.
SOS Children’s Villages in Somaliland is part of SOS Children’s Villages International, the umbrella organization to which all SOS Children’s Villages including SOS Children’s Villages in Somaliland Association is affiliated. SOS Children’s Villages in Somaliland is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that is not for profit, non-sectarian and non-partisan and which has been in existence since 1999. SOS Children’s Villages in Somaliland is committed to the welfare of children who lost parental care or at risk of losing parental care – often ensuring that children grow up in a loving family environment, and to strengthening families and communities as a preventive measure in the fight against child abandonment and social neglect, and upholds child protection policy as part of their commitment to the
protection of children and youth from abuse. Uniquely, we provide long-term, family-like care for children who have lost parental care (alternative care service), and we work with vulnerable families and communities to help strengthen them and prevent family separation (family strengthening service, FS).
SOS Children’s village’s alternative care is usually organised in the form of a cluster of SOS families, where each SOS parent cares for small group of children.
SOS Children’s Villages was established in Somaliland in 1999 and it started first operations in Sahil region. Currently, SOS Children’s Villages in Somaliland implements programs ranging from child care, child protection, youth empowerment and participation, education and emergency interventions. SOS Children’s Villages in Somaliland is operational in three regions of Somaliland: Awdal, Marodijeh and Sahil, and it had a good relationship with many stakeholders, including government institutions, local authorities at national, regional and district levels, INGOs, LNGOs and local communities, as well as other CSOs who are in and out of the operational area.

1.2 Description of programme location and context
Somaliland is one of the world’s poorest countries, with a high proportion of socially and economically marginalized and excluded communities. The OVCs are among the most vulnerable populations, with the majority of them suffering economically, socially, and mentally. SOS Children’s Villages in Somaliland began establishing an Alternative Care Programme to support children who had lost parental care in order to ensure children grow in a family environment. The Alternative Care program includes three different care models: SOS Family-like Care (FC), Foster Family Care (FFC), and Youth Care (YC). The services provided in this programs intend to empower children and young people in all aspects of their individual development so that they can become selfsufficient and participating members of the society. This procedure begins with a focus on early childhood development and ends with high-quality after-care support. We capitalize on the talents, abilities, and knowledge of each child, adolescent, and family. They are constantly in charge of their own progress and parents play a crucial role in guiding and supporting their children’s growth.
1.3 Rationale and overall objective of the Midterm Evaluation
After 13 years of implementation, SOS Children’s Villages in Somaliland wants to evaluate the Alternative Care Program in Hargeisa to assess the impact the project has made on the lives of the children, young people, their families and communities as a result of the program interventions.
