In response to the challenge of family and child welfare system reform in the transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States, the World Bank and UNICEF teamed up in the project “Changing Minds, Policies and Lives”. The purpose of this joint initiative was to develop knowledge and tools for family and child welfare policy makers and practitioners in the region. The products of the joint work are published in this three volume publication, each containing concept papers and tools addressing essential components of the system reform, namely decision making processes: “gate keeping”, redirecting resources into preventive and family based services, and standards of care.
