Africa Learning Journey with the Family-First Framework

The Learning Journey

The Learning Journey is a 12-session structured pathway (90 minutes each, via Zoom), delivered over approximately six months through a series of interactive online sessions.

• Built a shared understanding of child wellbeing, child protection, family-based care, and systems reform
• Explore how the Family-First Framework (link is external) can help strengthen national systems so every child can thrive in a family

For Whom

Leders, practitioners, and other non-government actors engaged in, or seeking to engage in, child protection and care reform, in Africa.

What Participants Will Gain

• A clear understanding of how the Family-First Framework supports national reform and collaboration
• Practical tools to analyze system strengths, identify gaps, and plan next steps toward a Family-First model
• Engage with peers and practitioners working to strengthen systems for children and families around the world

How the Journey Works

• Each session focuses on a specific aspect of the Framework, with contributing organizations and regional leaders co-facilitating sessions in their areas of expertise
• Sessions are designed as two-way discussions: sharing content, tools, and experience while inviting participants to reflect, apply, adapt, and contribute insights from their own contexts

Participation Details

• Participation is free of charge, but requires active engagement and consistent participation throughout the journey
• Designed for those who are committed to applying the learning in their own context and contributing to reform efforts for children and families
