The Global Campaign on Children’s Care Reform encourages countries to strengthen families, expand safe and nurturing family-based alternative care, and progressively end the use of institutions to care for children. A key component of the Global Campaign is the Global Charter on Children’s Care Reform. The Charter builds on existing international commitments and calls for urgent, multi-sectorial action to transform care for children worldwide.
Countries that sign the Charter are encouraged to make their own commitments describing specific actions they will take to realise the aims of the Charter.
This video provides a short overview of the Global Charter on Children's Care Reform: Guidance for Developing Commitments, which supports governments to design ambitious, measurable, and context-specific commitments that align with the Charter’s principles. It includes practical criteria, examples, and participatory approaches to ensure commitments are realistic, well-resourced, and responsive to children’s needs.
