The Child Development Agency (CDA) is an Executive Agency under the portfolio of the Ministry of Youth and Culture. The
Agency provides service for: -
 Children in need of care and protection;
 Children with special needs such as those affected by mental and physical challenges;
 Children without parental or familial support and supervision;
 Parents/guardians of children under 18 who were abused, are being abused or who are likely to be abused or
otherwise in need of care and protection;
 Families participating in the foster care programme; and
 Children and families engaging in the adoption services process.

Approximately 6,000 children are served by the tertiary child protection system, with 58% living in the Living in Family
Environment Programme and the remaining 42% living in the 62 residential child care facilities (Children’s Homes and Places of
Safety). Additionally, the CDA provides adoption services; intake services; monitoring of residential child care facilities, police
lockups, court services and case investigation (internal intake and through Office of the Children’s Registry referred cases);
counselling services; general case planning and management services; Independent Living and community outreach programmes.
Approximately 15,000 children and families access the services of the CDA through its intake desk annually.

In formulating its Strategic Plan for the period 2010/11 to 2012/2013, the CDA has aligned its key activities with the national
goals through creating roadmaps consisting of pragmatic management and programmatic refinement. This is aimed at creating an
environment that engenders the best outcome for children and their families, increases advocacy and child participation, rekindles the
community spirit on child care and protection matters, and improves systems and programmes leading to the strategic restructuring of
alternate care services while driving initiatives that will see children being maintained in the families or in a family oriented
programme. Accordingly, the CDA has identified 3 major strategic objectives to be pursued over the plan period, by way of the
advocacy of children’s rights; the intervention for children at risk; and ensuring the safety, growth and development of children in
state care.
