This report is the result of an investigation into the amount of official development assistance (ODA) that is targeted at ending violence against children, either as the main focus or as part of a broader programme. As starting points, this study took the definition of violence against children as laid out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the United Nations Study on Violence against Children and in the Global Partnership Strategy, and the strategies for ending violence against children described in the INSPIRE package.
The report presents the findings of this study, including global estimates on spending on programmes that seek to end violence against children, comparisons of ODA spending on specific sectors, gender focus of spending, spending per child, which donors provide funding, and general conclusions and recommendations.
