Unaccompanied and Separated Children in Albania

The project on the Reception and Care Services for Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC) is carried out in which basic care, psychological support, and recreational activities are made available to unaccompanied minors returning to Albania from EU Member States (EU MS). It is implemented in cooperation with the local service provider, SOS Children’s Villages Albania.

It aims at creating a sustainable and structural solution for returning unaccompanied minors to Albania by providing shelter and basic care for a limited period and integrating/referring to state facilities (state juvenile care system). By engaging in a dialogue with local organisations, the RRF UASC in Albania enables possibilities of getting access to additional support services, create a local ecosystem of actors and establish referral pathways for UASC returnees to build a better future un Albania.
