Background
Youth care leaver associations are charity organizations established under the law by and for care leavers and they are affiliated to parent residential care institutions. Government offices are also those organizations mandated to issues related to care leavers. In the case of NGOs, organizations were sub-categorized into residential care providers and general service providers. Among the private sector actors, banks and employment service providers are included.
In general terms, the level of responsiveness to the issue of youth care leavers by governmental and non-governmental organizations is very minimal. The agenda has not been addressed by relevant government policies and strategies indicating how the subject of youth care leavers is overlooked by policy makers. The level of coordination and partnership among relevant governmental and non-governmental stakeholders is also scanty. The only platform or partnership identified that works on youth care leavers is the project being implemented by SOS Children’s Villages – Ethiopia in partnership of youth care leaver associations and relevant government counterparts. No other attempts were identified and prominent non-governmental actors which work on vulnerable youth haven’t embrace the issue of youth care leavers in their thematic areas and strategic directions. Here it came to be clear that unless key stakeholders act collectively and bring the issue to the attention of policy makers, the vast majority of the problems faced by youth care leavers would continue to prevail. It is auspicious that youth care leaver associations are emerging and coming to existence to join the battle. Though such associations are expected to play the central role in addressing the problems that youth care leavers face, they are still at a stage of infancy and require significant amount of support to build their capacity. Under Outcome 3 – Young people leaving care in Ethiopia claim their rights to healthy lives, care, and active participation Output 3.1 MHPSS + SRHR (YCL associations/groups have the capacity to advocate for the improvement of social support services (mapping YCLs, identify capacity gaps, support YCLs to secure legal entity, and support the development of strategic and capacity empowerment plan)Activity 3.1.2 Identify capacity gaps and support the development of strategic and capacity empowerment plan.
