Welcome to the BCN Practitioner Hub, an online space containing practitioner-related resources organised around the components of the care system. The hub's puzzle design demonstrates how the care system is the sum of many integrated parts and points to the importance of the systems strengthening agenda. As you explore the puzzle, you will find basic information, tools, videos, articles, and other resources related to each component and subcomponent of the care system. Please note that this practitioner hub is still in development.

Funding and Budgets

 

Funding and budgets deals with the care sector budget allocation and expenditure. At a systems level, this relates to government expenditure and percentage of national or state budgets allocated to care and child protection services. External sources of funds may contribute towards government budgets, such as bilateral aid, however it is common for overseas funding to bypass government budgets and directly support non-government service providers.
