UNICEF Child Poverty--3 Insights

3 Insights
1.Child poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon and can be measured in many ways.  It is imperative that governments make a commitment to child poverty reduction, recognizing and responding to child poverty is the first priority, alongside building expertise and improved approaches to child poverty measurement.
2.UNICEF supports programme countries to conduct a comprehensive Situation Analysis of Women and Children (SitAn) within the country programme or national planning cycle. It is done in preparation for or as an input to the review of the national development plan and poverty reduction strategy.
3. Social protection can be understood as a set of public actions which address not only income poverty and economic shocks, but also social vulnerability, thus taking into account the inter-relationship between exclusion and poverty. Through income or in-kind support and programmes designed to increase access to services (such as health, education and nutrition), social protection helps realize the human rights of children and families.

UNICEF caters to many families and children they help with child survival and development, basic education and gender equality, HIV Aids and children and they offer many more resources.
