Is every orphanage in the Dominican Republic registered with the government?
and if not, why not?

What do you mean by "registered"?
Licensed?
Recognized?
Government subsidized?

[joval]

Yes pardon me, I suppose all three would apply to that question, are they all recognized, licensed and government subsidized?

I have no expertise in the matter, but my guess would be, no, no, no.

The organization that is charged with looking after orphanages, is CONANI (“Consejo Nacional para la Niñez y la Adolescencia” - National Council for Children and Adolescents)

To my knowledge an orphanage has to be registered with CONANI and they do oversee the conditions, but funding is another story.
