For every child, the right to answers

UNICEF Innocenti tackles the questions of greatest importance for children, both current and emerging. It equips thought leaders and decision-makers with the evidence they need to build a better, safer world for children. The office undertakes research using primary and secondary data representing the voices of children and families. It uses foresight to set the agenda for children, including horizon scanning, trends analysis and scenario development. The office produces a diverse and dynamic library of high-level reports and policy papers and provides a platform for debate and advocacy.
UNICEF Innocenti’s Gender, Rights, and Protection team leads research to inform and accelerate the elimination of harmful practices. Through the STAR (Strategic Technical Assistance for Research) Initiative to End Harmful Practices, the team works to strengthen the generation, synthesis, and use of robust evidence to support UNICEF and UNFPA efforts under the Global Programme to End Child Marriage and the Joint Programme to Eliminate Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
