Highlights

The Care Reform Roadmap (2024-2028) lays out the strategic actions for caring for vulnerable children in Ghana, led by the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection.

This roadmap aims to tackle the challenges and opportunities in providing adequate care for vulnerable children, especially those in institutional care. It prioritizes creating supportive environments for children without parental care and emphasizes family-based care over institutional options. This involves proposed strategic actions such as family reintegration, strengthening the social welfare workforce, and promoting family-based care options like kinship care and foster care.
