Doumé, the BICE Rescue Centre, Foyer Don Bosco, the Marie Dominique village and the NGO Côte d’Ivoire Prospérité. However, many structures such as orphanages, care centres, shelters and private accommodation are not accredited. In this regard, the Ministry in charge of the child has undertook an action to regulate the functioning of these structures, in particular, the development of a draft decree setting the norms and standards applicable to care, emergency and child protection centres. The DPJEJ at the Ministry of Justice has a centre which hosts young people from the Centre for Observation of Minors (COM) where the minors in danger are entrusted to its Educational Assistance service following a juvenile judge order. In order to standardise the rules for establishing and operating child protection private schools and set out the terms of their collaboration with the state, the MFFAS has, by Order No. 191 / MFFAS / DPS 18 April 2008, made it mandatory to obtain a license to open a centre falling within the categories set out in the decree (nurseries, orphanages, alternative and private care settings) which sets a period of twelve months for applying for accreditation of existing structures. Since August 2010, an inventory process of all existing private institutions in the country has also been initiated by the Directorate in charge of child protection, it aims to create a comprehensive directory in order to better take into account the real needs of alternative care and to promote an effective collaboration with public institutions. The process, which was slowed by the post-election crisis of 2011 has resumed since 2012 and ended in December 2013. The National Child Protection Policy initialised and adopted in a Cabinet meeting in 2013, sets out guidelines for the organisation of alternative care system in order to guarantee the right of every child to family life. An inventory is underway with the support of UNICEF, whose the recommendations will support the process of legislative, regulatory and institutional reforms. Various measures have been taken by the Government with UNICEF support to ensure the protection of children in need of temporary assistance measures, they include: - Training of social workers and NGOs working in the field of child protection on temporary care of children; - Establishment and equipment of 05 emergency settings for the care of children in need of temporary assistance is planned. For this purpose, a model of partnership agreement between the Ministry in charge of the child and the associative structures has been developed; - The creation and consolidation of a network of protection settings in the ten municipalities of Abidjan for temporary care. 5.5 Adoption (art. 21) Concerning adoption, the legal framework remains Law No. 83-802 of 2 August 1983 amending and supplementing Law No. 64-378 of October 7, 1964. These laws allow the adoption of orphans and abandoned children and adoption based on parental consent in two forms: simple adoption and full adoption. Ivory Coast is not signatory to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption. There are no specific provisions in the aforementioned laws, stating that international adoption should only be considered once all care options, foster care or national adoption in the country, have been explored without success. However, some provisions are implemented and the Hague Convention ratification process on Child Protection and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption is underway, in collaboration with the Ministry of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The simple or full adoption decision pronounced by the Ivorian authorities results from a procedure before RAPPORT INITIAL SUR LA MISE EN OEUVRE DE LA CHARTE AFRICAINE DES DROITS ET DU BIEN ÊTRE DE L'ENFANT 44
