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
Led by and for leaders, 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
Registration and Dates
Participation is free of charge, but it does require active engagement and consistent participation throughout the journey. It is designed for those who are committed to applying the learning in their own context and contributing to reform efforts for children and families.
