Improving the health and well-being of women, children and adolescents
and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 will require more
effective collaboration and joined-up action across sectors, especially at
national and local levels. Some countries are already making great strides in
working together across sectors. The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn &
Child Health (PMNCH) brings together partners to support the development
of 12 country case studies to showcase such successful multistakeholder
collaborations across sectors in six priority areas: early childhood
development; adolescent health and well-being; quality, equity and dignity;
sexual and reproductive health and rights; empowerment of women, girls
and communities; and humanitarian and fragile settings. The case studies
will provide inspiration, insight and ideas, shedding light on what works
and why, and on how to address challenges.
The 12 country case studies, summarized in this document, were selected
from more than 300 responses to PMNCH’s global call for proposals.
They will be launched at the Partners’ Forum on 12-13 December 2018
in New Delhi, where they will be widely profiled and promoted to inform
advocacy and country-level action on collaboration across sectors in the era
of the Sustainable Development Goals. The case studies will be published in
a special issue of The BMJ and disseminated through traditional and digital
media channels.

Better data ensures the poorest households are
not left behind
To help target services and assistance to the poorest and most
vulnerable households of Cambodia (an estimated 2.5 million
people), the Government developed a standardized
mechanism to identify households in need. “Identification
of Poor Households” (ID Poor), launched in 2005, is a
collaborative effort between, health, education, agriculture,
interior and social protection sector as well as NGOs and
development partners under the leadership of the Ministry
of Planning. ID Poor’s data are used by a wide range of
development programmes in Cambodia, many of which are
focused on improving maternal and child health and
development outcomes. Improvements in data are facilitating
the effective and efficient reach of services across sectors and
increasing equity for vulnerable women and children. Case

This paper is a multi-county, multi-dimensional rigorous analysis of immensely critical and continuously expanding socio-economic crisis that has engulfed many developing countries which calls for immediate action to preserve our present and future. This paper is an embodiment of a study of all factors that are seriously
responsible for promoting child labor in most of the less-developed, low-income, emerging, middle-income countries. Based on empirical data, and other research articles, this paper investigates the problem from political, social and economic, and cultural aspects. This paper identifies the roots of the crisis and attempts to bridge the existing gap between policy and implementation so as to make theworld child labor free.
Adolescence is a period of rapid physiological, biological and psychological change. This transitional period has long-term impacts on an individual’s future health, well-being, and productivity, meaning that investments in adolescence now can pay a "triple dividend” in the future.

‘Every year, 9.2 million young children (including 3.7 million newborns) and 536,000 mothers die during pregnancy and childbirth, while approximately 76 million unintended pregnancies occur worldwide. The need for strengthened family planning efforts is imperative if the MDGs are to be achieved
There is growing global recognition that violence against women and violence against children, and in particular intimate partner violence against women and violence against children by parents or caregivers, intersect in different ways. As global evidence of and interest in these intersections continue to grow, strategies are needed to enhance collaborations across these fields and thus ensure the best outcomes for both women and children. In response, the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI), the UNICEF Innocenti – Global Office of Research and Foresight, and the UNDP/UNFPA/UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction hosted by WHO’s Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health, partnered to coordinate a global participatory process to identify research priorities that relate to the intersections between violence against children and violence against women.
While priorities are important, the way in which these priorities are determined is also crucial, especially for ownership, contextualization and use. Inclusive, participatory research-setting, such as used in this work, serves to promote a diversity of voices – especially from low- and middle-income countries which have historically lacked representation – and minimize the risk of bias when establishing research priorities.
This report describes the process used to determine the priorities for research on the intersections between violence against children and violence against women, and the top 10 research questions identified.
A partnership with the UNFPA-UNICEF Global Programme to End Child Marriage, UNFPA-UNICEF Joint Programme on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation and the UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti, the STAR Initiative (Strategic Technical Assistance for Research) to end harmful practices aims to strengthen evidence generation and learning. The initiative has three areas of focus: evidence generation, evidence synthesis and research dissemination and uptake.
African countries are facing the world’s worst teacher shortage. To shore up the deficit and achieve universal primary education by 2030, 6.1 million primary school teachers need to be hired in Africa alone.
As COVID-19 exacerbates pressures placed on education budgets, it is crucial that the deployment of quality teachers in Africa is driven by a quest for equity, effectiveness, and efficiency, since no child should be deprived of learning opportunities because of the school they attend or their area of residence.
UNICEF Innocenti is seeking to expand the evidence base on teacher deployment in Africa in order to identify how the deployment of qualified teachers can be optimized to improve equity in learning outcomes. While the equity of primary school teacher deployment is the intended focus of this research, pre-primary teacher deployment will also be analyzed.

Evidence suggests that developing specific core capacities from childhood can support performance in school, work, and life.
These nine “core capacities” are cornerstones of life skills. We often overlook these capacities as innate basic skills, so they are underutilized in efforts to promote child well-being and development.
But by nurturing, expanding, and modelling these capacities, children can better understand and interact with the world around them, and realise their unique potential.

On 19 October 2021, over 500 researchers, practitioners, policymakers and activists from around the world gathered to take stock of what we know about the intersections between
violence against children and violence against women, identify existing knowledge gaps and discuss opportunities to increase coordination across efforts to prevent and respond to both
forms of violence.
This summary presents key takeaways from the event organized by UNICEF Innocenti, in collaboration with the Global Partnership to End Violence, the World Health Organization,
the Sexual Violence Research Initiative and the UK FCDO.
The Office of Research – Innocenti is UNICEF’s dedicated research centre. Our core mandate is to undertake cutting-edge, policy-relevant research that equips the organization and the wider global community to deliver results for children. This project brief summarizes our research on the Data Must Speak project.
Effective solutions to end violence against children will require researchers, practitioners, and leaders to come together to take stock of what we know, bridge gaps across the field, and influence change through the use and generation of VAC evidence.
This webinar aimed to share evidence and foster discussion on intersections between violence against women and violence against children, highlighting opportunities for greater collaboration, to build knowledge, and to translate it into policy and programmes.

This document serves as a guide for applying the Sport for
Development (S4D) framework described in the report “Playing
the Game: A framework for successful child-focused sport for
development programmes”.
The framework can be used as a starting point for designing a
new programme, to guide the expansion of an existing one into
new locations, or to improve and re-organize specific
programmatic and organizational aspects.
The framework follows the different phases of a programme
and their respective components, and recommends best
practices (see Figure 1). For each component of each
programming stage, this toolkit offers practitioners guiding
questions and practical recommendations.
With reliable data, policymakers, school managers, teachers, and communities can identify problems, pose solutions, and direct resources where they are most needed. As part of the Africa Evidence Week 2021, UNICEF Office of Research-Innocenti organized a live webinar to share and discuss how UNICEF’s implementation of the Data Must Speak global initiative has supported countries in Africa strengthen the use of data and research for education management and decision-making. It draws on panelists from Ministries of Education from Namibia and Togo, as well as UNICEF and its Office of Research.
The webinar contributes important knowledge and “know-how” to several ongoing global education discussions such as:
- How education data systems can be strengthened to drive better policy decisions on resource allocation and to manage education systems equitably?
- How education data can be transformed into user-friendly formats to inform education planning at decentralized levels and social accountability at community level?
- How to co-create and co-implement large-scale education research with Ministries of Education, local academics, and in-country partners during a global pandemic?

2. Overview
Child labour, particularly in its most harmful forms,
has serious and long-lasting negative impacts
on child well-being, exposing children to health
hazards, violence and exploitation. SDG 8.7 – a
rapidly approaching priority highlighted by the 2021
InternationalYear for the Elimination of Child Labour
– calls for urgent action to eliminate child labour in
all of its forms by 2025. However, despite progress,
152 million children globally are still deprived of
their rights to education, play and protection from
harm. Protracted school closures and the economic
impact of COVID-19 will likely further worsen
this situation. Now, more than ever, rigorous
context-specific research is needed to inform policy
and programme efforts and increase awareness on
child labour.
Approach
UNICEF Innocenti is committed to building the evidence
base on strategies to eliminate child labour recognizing
that this is the result of a complex set of determinants
– including social norms and access to quality schoo-
ling – beyond poverty. First, we synthesize the latest data
and evidence on the key determinants of child labour in
diverse geographical, economic and social contexts. Next,
through interdisciplinary, mixed methods research, we
study the impacts of child labour policies and program-
mes across relevant sectors including education and social
protection.We also collaborate with researchers, practi-
tioners and policymakers to inform and support policies
and interventions that address child labour.Our research
adopts a strong gender lens in line with UNICEF’s commit-
ment to gender-transformative approaches to child rights.
We draw attention to the distinct experiences of children
andyouth living in marginalized circumstances, including
those engaged in migration.
Goal
We use research to identify, communicate results
and promote knowledge uptake on effective strate-
gies for eliminating child labour. At every stage of
the research process, we strive to include meanin-
gful co-creation – including close engagement with
stakeholders from governments, civil society and
families, particularly at the national level – and
equitable, meaningful inclusion of the voices of
children and youth.

PROJECT BRIEF

Josiah Kaplan
Child Protection Specialist
jkaplan@unicef.org
Addressing child labour through integrated
programming in sub-Saharan Africa.
Direct payments of cash to households, or cash
transfers, can contribute to reducing child labour, though
they may not be enough. Multi-component interventions
including cash and services (‘cash plus’) are proving to
be effective to address the multiple determinants of child
labour. For instance, services to address child labour can
include supplying primary education in locations where
the risk of child labour is high and providing linkages
to strengthened community-based child protection
networks ensuring psychosocial, medical and legal care
and support to children engaged in child labour or at risk
of exploitation.
With funding from the United States Department of
Labor, UNICEF Innocenti is conducting research to
assess the effectiveness of integrated social protection
programming in eliminating child labour in sub-Saha-
ran Africa.This research builds on previous impact
evaluations conducted under theTransfer Project, a
research and learning initiative of the Food and Agricul-
ture Organization, the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and UNICEF

Educational strategies to address child labour in
India and Bangladesh.
While educational policies and programmes show
promise as a means of reducing child labour, the
global evidence base on their effectiveness is limited,
especially in South Asia. Not enough is known about
what works, how and why. More research is needed
to understand which supply- and demand-side
educational interventions can effectively address
child labour, particularly in its worst forms.
This four-year research project examines the types
of educational strategies that can drive sustainable
changes in child labour and address marginality and
diversity with a focus on India and Bangladesh.
Funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and
Development Office, the project will generate
evidence on the interlinkages between child labour
and education, and map evidence on the effective-
ness of educational strategies to reduce child labour.
Through a challenge research and innovation fund,
it will also contribute to ideating, piloting and scaling
up new educational interventions addressing child
labour.
