Having made the above-mentioned observations, the Committee recommends the following: . The Minister of Social Development should address challenges that have been encountered in the implementation of certain sections of the Children's Act. Particularly, she should make sure the issue around the qualification of social workers who process inter-country adoptions are resolved. Proper monitoring and co-ordination should be done between the department and the private organisations to ensure that inter-country adoption processes between the department and private organisations are done symmetrically.
