Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Vietnam: ISS defends all children's rights, including those of children with disabilities, proposing to them a life project after having been placed in an Institution. The main purpose is to sensitize and to train professionals enabling them to offer children the opportunity to leave the institutions and to be re-integrated into a family based environment applying the right to live and to grow up within a proper family framework. With all the adequate resources, the project will be expanded in Mexico, Peru and Togo.

ISS develops targeted projects to launch and support the Institutionalisation of International family mediation - a project that started at the beginning of 2000 through Statehood Organisations such as the European Union and the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
ISS's project aims to disseminate information and raise awareness about mediation practice to solve cross border family conflicts and to facilitate the access for families to specialized mediators.
In 2014, the first guide on International Family Mediation was published to inform and accompany families and professionals is the launch pad of this global project.

In October-November 2022, the IRC has published Child Protection Country Reports for Benin, El Salvador, Paraguay, Sierra Leone, Tunisia, and the United Kingdom. Reports are available for selected subscribers. More countries will be covered in 2023.
