PROGRESS IN FAMILY BASED CARE

This report highlights the critical global mismatch in family-based care systems affecting children, revealing shocking statistics such as 163 million children without permanent parents, and up to 8 million in institutions. With over 1.5 billion experiencing violence and 220 million lacking birth registration, the findings underscore the urgent need for community-based national programs and effective child protection systems. By prioritizing prevention and resourcing services focused on families, the report advocates for improved child welfare and strategic investments in human capital towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
