Tracking Progress: Measuring the implementation of the 'Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children'

The measuring tool has been developed to support actors and networks at the country level to assess how far they have progressed in the implementation of the Guidelines and to plan and measure progress towards full implementation. It builds on the guidance provided in 'Moving Forward: Implementing the Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children'. The measuring tool aims to: be accessible, easy to use and relevant in diverse country contexts; use data and evidence which are available in both qualitative and quantitative forms provide a consistent baseline of information on alternative care which can be updated and used for different purposes and at different times.
