Amy Bess & Janestic Twikirize - Global Social Service Workforce Alliance

The Government of Zambia - along with many other partners including Better Care Network, the Global Social Service Workforce Alliance, GHR Foundation, USAID, UNICEF, Save the Children and other NGOs - convened a National Consultation to Accelerate Care Reform in Zambia from 4-6 May, 2016. The consultation aimed to jointly identify national priorities for action in order to accelerate child care reform in Zambia.

This presentation, given by Amy Bess & Janestic Twikirize of the Global Social Service Workforce Alliance (GSSWA), presents a working paper by GSSWA and BCN which argues that a “strong, aligned, competent social service workforce is critical to care reforms at all levels.” The presentation reviews the framework for strengthening the social service workforce and includes case studies and lessons learned.
