Introducing the Program National Commitment • Recommendations of National Committee • Reduce Risk among Children (13 indicators) • Inter - Ministerial Significant Investment • 56 local authorities (45%) of the children • Multiyear Budget – 155 million NIS annually New Policies, organizational, professional and financial mechanisms • • Shift in priorities Focus on children Empower local authorities Accountability and quality assurance

How Far Along Are We? mapping planning implemen tation • 55 communities completed the mapping process • 150, 890 children were Identified • 55 communities constructed and approved service plans • A broad range of programs were selected (over 200) most have not been broadly implemented • 40 communities have begun to implement programs • Thousands of children are already receiving services • The community info base for monitoring is being launched
The Roles of Information in the Program Keeps the focus on the children Strengthens creation of common language and definitions Provides a basis for transparency and helps create trust Provides basis for dialogue between local and regional levels Provides basis for further policy development at the national level Provides accountability to public and politicians Supports innovative and “fresh” image of the program
Two (of the) Issues / Challenges / Dilemmas How to promote continuous collection and utilization of data at the local level • Developing “friendly” instruments • Developing tools and processes for “laymen” users • Developing effective “carrots and sticks” What will we really be able to learn about programs and how to improve them • How reliable will the data be • Are there methods to learn about programs across communities • What do we need so we can improve programs on the one hand provide communities with more solid basis for decisions on the other
