Knowledge for Children in Africa

For the third successive year, UNICEF’s three Regional Offices covering Africa have come together and collected studies and reports that are being produced on the continent, representing the collective knowledge supported by UNICEF in 2018.

SPRI Global had the great pleasure of partnering with UNICEF on seven of the 131 most important reports and studies that UNICEF and its partners are generating on the situation of children and young people on the continent.

The 2018 Catalogue features the following of our joint projects – the entry for each study or report includes a short description, as well as information on the authors and contributors, planned publication date, and contact details for obtaining additional information:

• Child Poverty in Angola: A Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA)
• Child Poverty in Guinea: A National Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA)
• Child Poverty in Lesotho: A Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA)
• Child Poverty in Rwanda: A Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA)
• Child Poverty in Swaziland: A Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA)
• Child Poverty in South Africa: A Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA)
• Situation Analysis of Children and Women in Guinea

In addition, we are also currently partnering with UNICEF on Multidimensional Child Deprivation in Ethiopia: First National Estimates, which is due for launch in the latter half of 2018.

The availability of knowledge and evidence is crucial for informing policies and programmes to ensure they have an impact on children and contribute to the realization of children’s rights. The aim of the Catalogue is to provide timely information on the knowledge UNICEF and partners are generating in Africa, and to introduce publications that are a helpful resource for evidence-based decision making and programming.
