Changing The Way We Care Household Survey 2023

The Changing the Way We Care (CTWWC) initiative conducted its Year 5 Household Survey as part of its commitment to building evidence around outcomes for children and families in the context of care reform. The second round of this survey in Kenya and Guatemala, and first round in Moldova, aimed to understand the impact of CTWWC interventions on children and families transitioning from residential care to family-based alternatives or receiving support to prevent separation. The survey sought to address several key research questions, including caregivers' perceptions of family strengthening support, the prevalence of protective factors amongst caregivers and of well-being in children's lives, as well as the correlation between protective factors and well-being. Importantly, the survey aimed to directly capture the perspectives of children and caregivers to ensure their experiences shape care reform efforts.
