The landscape of public spending on children is complex and layered, in part because multiple governmental jurisdictions contribute to child-related services and because service delivery often requires the coordination of multiple agencies. This brief describes the framework of state-level departments and their divisions in Georgia that serve children, including discussions of their structure, mission, strategic plan, constitutional and statutory authority, and a department-level snapshot of expenditures in fiscal year 2019. For comparison, public spending on children outside of Georgia is also discussed.
