This tool’s paramount significance extends beyond a mere evaluative framework; rather, it is strategically designed to empower member states by systematically collecting and reporting essential data concerning Children Without Parental Care (CWPC). By doing so, the envisioned monitoring tool serves a dual purpose: objectively assessing progress in addressing CWPC needs and furnishing Member States with indispensable data for judicious policy decision-making, both at the national and regional levels.”
