Beside the existing crèches, nurseries and public day care centres (2 in Brazzaville and 1 in Pointe Noire), orphans and other abandoned children are accommodated by private orphanages, most of them run by members of religious denominations. The Ministry for Social Affairs has entrusted the NGO Doctors of Africa the implementation of the " Project for care of orphans and other vulnerable children" with the support of the World Bank. All children receiving support through that project benefit from care in psychological terms, school, food and vocational training. The children supported by the project are maintained in their respective families. In the context of social mediation and legal support, orphans and other vulnerable children, benefit from legal aid services established in Brazzaville and Pointe Noire. These services develop a legal aid programme approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. They help conflicting parties to find an amicable solution, without the need to appear before an established jurisdiction. C - Adoption • The Law 4-2010 of 14 June 2010 on child protection in the Republic of Congo, Article 59, paragraph 2, provides that international adoption can take place only if the competent authority has established that • The child is adoptable; • The adoption is in the best interests of the child; • Persons, institutions and authorities whose consent is required for adoption, have been given necessary advice and appropriately informed about the consequences of their consent, in particular on the maintenance or breach of the legal relationship between the child and his family of origin; • They have freely given their consent in the required legal form; • Consent has not been induced by payment or compensation of any kind; • The consent of the mother, where required, has been given only after the birth of the child; • The child's wishes and opinions were been taken into consideration with regard to his/her age and maturity; • The child was provided with counselling and duly informed of the consequences of the adoption and consent to adoption; • The consent of the child for adoption, where required, was given freely, in the required legal form and has not been induced by payment or compensation of any kind. In light of this provision, there is only the establishment of the competent administrative authority to regulate, monitor, advise and ensure compliance with the implementation of the above-mentioned conditions. The Congolese government in light of Article 59 of the abovementioned law has a significant legislative framework that should lead to an adoption policy. This policy should entail the establishment of an identifiable central administrative authority, independent and equipped with human, material and financial resources. 47
