Data for Children: Strategic Framework

Publications - Released in 2017

This framework focuses on data for and about children: the well-being and perspectives of children and their families, the environments in which they live, and the ways that services and systems reach – or fail to reach – them. For more than four decades, UNICEF has supported governments in generating, analysing and using many different forms of data related to these issues. All of these forms – from longstanding and statistically robust household survey programmes to government administrative data and new forms of community feedback mechanisms – are within the scope of the framework.

The idea behind the strategic framework is not to build a perfect world that can address any unforeseen data need; rather, it lays out a general approach to data for children work and a plan for addressing our existing needs, while giving us the flexibility to adapt as our needs evolve.
