UNICEF Office of Research

UNICEF Office of Research
works to strengthen the capacity of UNICEF
and its cooperating institutions, to respond to
the evolving needs of children and to develop
a new global ethic for children. It promotes the
effective implementation of the Convention on
the Rights of the Child, in both developing and
industrialised countries.

With its increasing recognition of the importance of a field-driven, action-oriented approach, the Centre informs UNICEF policy formulation, strengthens UNICEF’s role as advocate for children’s rights, enhances the organisation’s capacity to research and learn from its field experience, and supports programme development and capacity building.
