This presentation by Florence Martin, Director of Better Care Network, explains what the Tracking Progress Tool is, how it was developed, and how it can be used by actors working to reform or strengthen a country's care system to measure progress in the implementation of the UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children.

The Tracking Progress Tool is a free, web-based, interactive diagnostic and learning tool designed to enable national actors (governments, children’s service providers, NGOs, civil society, academics and others) to determine the extent to which their country has effectively implemented the Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children and to identify the priorities for change still ahead. The Tool was developed by an inter-agency group, co-facilitated by Better Care Network and Save the Children, in consultation with a range of actors working on care reforms at national, regional, and global levels.
