The Government of Liberia is currently drafting its first National Social Protection policy and strategy, which will include a range of programming goals to protect, preserve and promote the country‟s most vulnerable families. The policy will outline the government‟s commitment providing a basic social protection floor, though the specific details of that package will be agreed in the coming years. Government is presently carrying out social cash transfer programs in two of the country‟s most impoverished counties of Bomi and Maryland counties. The program is targeting poor and labor constrained households by providing them monthly cash payments. A key objective of the program is to ensure that children living in those vulnerable households are encouraged and empowered to go and remain in school and to improve the economic condition of the targeted household. Close to 2000 children are currently benefiting. The Government of Liberia and UNICEF are key sponsors of the program. f) Care for orphans (Article 26) a. Following the launch of regulations on alternative care standards by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in 2012, a National Independent Accreditation Committee (IAC) was established to oversee and guide the selection of credible institutions providing alternative care services for vulnerable children. b. Out of the 88 alternative care institutions (orphanages) that remain in the country, all have applied for accreditation. The IAC has accessed 35 institutions and accredited 10, while the rest were instructed to undertake relevant measure to comply with the standards. 12
