Report on the In-house Capacity Building Workshop on Intercountry Adoption, ICDC, Florence, Italy, 14-17. September, 1998

This was the first UNICEF in-house capacity building workshop on the subject of adoption. It was neccesitated by the situation in UNICEF offices in all regions where abusive and illegal practices on adoption of children internationally have been alleged or proven. In such circumstances UNICEF offices are faced with continuous challenge of stating and/or defending UNICEF position on intercountry adoption. It was organised by International Child Development Center.
