Nine candidate countries scoping, twenty-seven Member States as reference.
The platform foregrounds candidate countries preparing for the 2028 programmatic cycle. EU Member State experience is referenced through documented case studies and the SPC monitoring framework, not surfaced as the default frame.
Briefs your team can act on this week
5-to-10 minute reads, built around named country cases, named numbers, and named failure modes. Each ships with a downloadable kit.
Building the evidence chain: how National Action Plans reach the right children
The strength of a National Action Plan is its evidence chain: the traceable path from who is vulnerable, where, and why, to the measures planned and the indicators that follow.
Building the feedback loop: how M&E systems turn reporting into better decisions for children
A monitoring system exists to tell whether measures are reaching children, and to allow a change of course when they are not. The countries that built one sequenced it: governance first, then a results chain, then a phased indicator set.
From allocation to the child: building a traceable financing chain
Whether EU funds reach children depends less on the allocation than on four links: how the money is paid, who manages it closest to the child, what records both the money and the children, and who pays when the EU funding ends.
One team, one plan: building integrated community services around the family
Integrated community services replace fragmented provision with one team, one assessment and one plan. The countries that made it work invested for years in the governance behind the services, before or alongside the services themselves.
