The March 2026 Better Care Network newsletter highlights new research, tools, and learning opportunities focused on strengthening care systems for children without adequate family care. This edition features publications on children's care and protection during the COVID-19 pandemic, clientelism in residential care facilities, deinstitutionalization and disability rights, and much more. It also highlights an upcoming webinar under the Transforming Children's Care Collaborative, which will dive into the ground-level realities of care system strengthening across three diverse national contexts: South Africa, Rwanda, and Bulgaria. In addition, the newsletter shares recent news, events, and opportunities for practitioners working across the global child protection and care reform community.
