Growing numbers of governments, professionals and international NGOs want to know about the context and conditions in which children live in alternative care across the Middle East and Asia Region. This Volume makes an important contribution by filling in knowledge gaps with 26 very accessible chapters that identify policies and practices operating in countries little known to readers of English.
