Abstract

Following the Aceh tsunami in 2004, an enquiry uncovered that half a million children were living in more than 7,000 orphanages and Islamic boarding houses across Indonesia (Martin 2006). The vast majority were not orphans, but instead recruited by orphanage staff from environments characterised by adult adversity, i.e. abject poverty, single parenthood or imprisonment. This paper derives from
two larger studies, one on deinstitutionalisation and the other on pro-poor policies, on government strategies intended to curb the orphanage trade.
