During the project, practical knowledge about the state of the art on providing family based care for unaccompanied children is collected and shared with the participating countries. By improving the system of family based care, more children can placed in a family, which is also one of the goals of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

As well as giving the ALFACA training to the participating countries and five other Member States, the project results consist of five Country reports and recommendations on European level.
