How do countries move care reform from policy to practice — and what does it take to sustain that change? On Wednesday, April 22, the Transforming Children's Care collaborative hosted the second webinar in the Reforming Care Systems: Evidence from Practice series. Joined by Hope and Homes for Children, the webinar explored the ground-level realities of system strengthening across three diverse national contexts: South Africa, Rwanda, and Bulgaria. Country experts shared the critical bottlenecks they encountered, the strategies that worked, the course corrections required, and the evidence of impact for children and families.
Speakers:
- Lourenza Steytler Foghill, Senior Programme Lead, Hope and Homes for Children
- Imaculee Vidivi Karangwa, Executive Director Rwanda, Hope and Homes for Children
- Galina Pourcheva-Bisset, Deinsitutionalization Technical Consultant, Europe, Hope and Homes for Children
Moderators:

This webinar was the second in a new series of webinars under the Transforming Children’s Care Collaborative, which convenes diverse stakeholders from across the globe to exchange knowledge on strengthening child care and protection systems to prevent family separation and promote inclusive, family-based alternative care. Each session will highlight innovative approaches and promising practices to address some of the most complex challenges in achieving systemic change.
