Smart demand, supply and use of data
drives better results for children. When
the right data are in the right hands at
the right time, decisions can be better
informed, more equitable and more likely
to protect children’s rights.
UNICEF is the world’s leading source of data
on children used by over 1 million people
globally.
For the past 20 years, UNICEF has led
global efforts to generate, analyse and
share data for children.
UNICEF has worked extensively on the
development of indicators for national
& international development goals and
targets related to well being of the
children.
Placing children at the centre of the new
development agenda – the Sustainable
Development Goals.
UNICEF is commited to supporting member ,
states, data collection and analysis for children.
The organization has established extensive
global data base and developed and tested new
indicators, methids and standards.
UNICEF Innocenti Research
Centre
The UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre in Florence, Italy, was
established in 1988.
Goals:
• Generation and communication of strategic and influential
knowledge on issues affecting children and the realization of their
rights;
• Knowledge exchange and brokering;
• Support to UNICEF's advocacy, policy's and program development in
support of the Millennium Agenda
• Securing and strengthening the centre's institutional and financial
basis.

RESEARCH IN INDIA 2019
The Indian early childhood education impact study-longitudinal
research study in the states of Rajasthan, Assam and Telengana.
Centre for Early Childhood education and development at
Ambedkar University Delhi and ASER Centre, with support UNICEF
India, conducted an Indian early childhood education impact.
The study aimed to eastimate the immediate impact of early
childhood education, experience,on school readiness level in terms
of cognitive concepts and psychosocial skills of children at the age
of entry to grade 1.
It considers school readiness from three told
perspectives of
• are children ready for school?
• are schools ready for children?
• are Families ready for preparing children for
school?
CONSULTANCY ON RESEARCH &
ANALYSIS IN ADDRESSING VIOLENCE
AGAINST CHILDREN.
Since 1960s in UNICEF documented strategic
communication for development, efforts to strength the
impact of development programms have focused
mainly on child survival and development issue.
The 2006 UN Secretary General study on violence
AGAINST CHILDREN and included recommendations
towards its prevention and response.
cnt..
This study highlighted the importance of
prioritiztion of prevention efforts by addresing
underlying causes of violence against children.
communication for development is the central
element of the intervention needed to promote
to positive behaviour and social change leading to
improvement in protection of children.
ADOLESCENT WELL BEING
The Lancet commision “our future” 2016 had
examined rapidly changing social and structural
determinants of adolescents well being and their
implications on health promotion and prevention
work.
the adolescent research programme is advancing
global understanding of adolescent well being in
selected countries.
CHILD RIGHTS IN THE DIGITAL
AGE
• One in three internet users globally is a child
• Crucially, children’s perspectives and
experiences need to be considered when
drafting policies that govern the use of young
people’s digital use, as well as when designing
the technology itself. However, there is still
insufficient evidence globally to enable policy
and practice to act in children’s best interest.
To bridge this evidence gap, UNICEF Office of
Research - Innocenti coordinates and facilitates
research on children’s use of digital technologies
by developing research methodologies that can
be implemented to generate national evidence.
UNICEF Innocenti coordinates two multi-country
evidence generation programmes, Global Kids
Online and Disrupting Harm , which serve to
generate evidence of the opportunities and risks
that children from around the world may
encounter in a digital age.
CHILDREN AND MIGRATION: RIGHTS,
ADVOCACY AND RESILIENCE
• Children cross borders – within and between countries – in
varying circumstances and for different reasons, both
voluntary and involuntary.
• Poverty has also been a key driver of child migration,
particularly from rural to urban locations, but it’s becoming
clearer that the poorest cannot so easily migrate to another
country.
• Children are also trafficked to provide labour or are forced to
move because of political violence or environmental disasters.
Child-sensitive research in this area is essential
and can explain intricate dynamics not captured
by more general research. Historically, receiving,
transit and origin societies have been more
tolerant of the migration of children and youth.
Some have an exploitative interest in child
migrants and others recognize that the
international community must commit to
protecting child migrants.
EDUCATION
• Educating children is an investment in their
futures, and in peaceful and prosperous
societies.
• Access to an education is every child’s right.
Using the best available evidence, the goal of
our Education team is to go beyond identifying
education challenges to finding education
solutions that work for all children.
cnt..
The Time to Teach program is a multi-country
study on teacher absenteeism. Recent evidence
shows that the rate of teachers’ time-on-task is
less than half of teaching time in some settings of
sub-Saharan Africa, yet there remains only a
limited evidence base on how policies and
practices influence different types of
absenteeism.
AIDS FREE GENERATION
• 2.8 million children and adolescent are living with HIV.
• treatment and prevention for adolescent are the 2 areas of
the UNICEF's work to stop HIV infections and AIDS death.
• programmes must be targeted depending on the context.
• UNICEF is committed to end AIDS by 2030 in line with
global targets and in making HIV services easy to access.
• it focuses on Mother-Child transmission, Peadiatric
treatment & care, and Care of new HIV infection in
Adolescents.
CONCLUSION
UNICEF is the only option for reducing child labour
or educating children in a healthy way. UNICEF is
the only global community who can give a
perfectly healthy life for every child.
Thus it conducts continuous research for
promotion and well being of the children around
the globe and also keeps us updated with data and
statistics.
