Despite significant efforts towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that have been made since 2015, progress for children in recent years has stalled, been reversed, or has been insufficient in many countries and for millions of children.
This UNICEF policy solutions report presents the evidence for a set of policies that have shown to generate important results across multiple children’s outcomes. These include child benefits, immunization, quality secondary education for girls, and early childhood nutrition and development programmes.
These are by no means the only policies that work, but are examples of the kind of policies that can generate multiple outcomes and require urgent prioritization and attention by governments.
