About the Programme

Supported by UNICEF and Tata Trusts in 2019, Udayan Care published a national study which recommended the urgent need for demonstrable models of care, working with government organisations and functionaries, in building their capacities towards a non-institutional care approach with the principle of the best interest of children, and to focus on the continuum of care approach during the Aftercare phase using the ‘Sphere of Aftercare’ intervention framework, first developed in our seminal study ‘Beyond 18’.

The project is in continuation of the previous work done together with support from UNICEF, and also the project on aftercare being implemented in the state of Bihar and together will push the agenda of Alternative Care, especially Aftercare, both at policy and practice levels in Madhya Pradesh.
