Mission and objectives

UNICEF Innocenti – Global Office of Research and Foresight drives change for children and young people by generating evidence, collecting data, featuring the voices of children and offering foresight on frontier issues and emerging practices. Our work aims to inform policy and advocacy that will eventually help UNICEF and the global community protect the lives and rights of children, young people and families.

Context

UNICEF’s Global Office of Research and Foresight has completed regional consultations with 41 children and young people from 18 countries, along with UNICEF staff and experts from academia and civil society. The resulting document synthesizes key findings about children’s participation in civil and political processes, highlighting barriers, innovations, and recommendations for various stakeholders. The finalized text requires professional integration into our existing publication template to create a polished, visually appealing, and accessible resource that will effectively communicate these important findings to stakeholders worldwide.
