Assessment of the National and International Adoption System in the Ivory Coast

At the request of the Ivorian adoption authorities, and thanks to the support of the French International Adoption Service, in March 2010 the ISS/IRC carried out a mission to assess the Ivorian adoption system and identify the steps that need to be undertaken in view of ratification of the 1993 Hague Convention. In its mission report, the ISS/IRC presents the findings of its field work and proposes a series of recommendations aimed at advising the country on the adoption of preventive measures to avoid risks and guarantee adoption procedures in line with international standards.
