Previously, orphanages fell under the Ministry of Health, orphanages under the Ministry of Preschool and School Education, and Child Protection Departments and family orphanages were supervised by local executive authorities.
The overarching objective behind this transfer is to establish a cohesive state policy and management system in the realm of social protection for the population, as stated in the report.
