–>

UNICEF Innocenti is the dedicated research office of UNICEF. It undertakes and commissions research on emerging or current issues of relevance for children to inform the strategic directions, policies and programmes of UNICEF and its partners. The office explores emerging issues, identifies research gaps, and brings together existing researchers to support or undertake new research, data collection and analysis to address critical questions. The Gender, Rights and Protection (GRP) and Social and Economic Policy (SEP) teams collaborate on the implementation of two major research projects.
The GRASSP research programme (October 2018 – March 2024) seeks to strengthen the gender-responsiveness of social protection systems (including policies, programmes and institutions) by generating robust evidence focused on ‘what works’, ‘how’ and ‘why’ to contribute to enhanced gender equality outcomes through strengthened and gender-responsive social protection systems and programmes in low- and middle-income countries. GRASSP is part of FCDO’s Gender-Responsive Social Protection (GSP) programme with UNICEF HQ, the World Bank and Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) as partners, which aims to enhance outcomes for the most marginalised women and girls from social protection and gender equality programmes and policies globally.
The ‘Evidence on Educational Strategies to Address Child Labour in South Asia’, hereafter Child Labour (CL) research project contributes to a larger FCDO-funded Asia Regional Child Labour Programme, which supports initiatives in six countries in South Asia to scale up FCDO’s efforts to tackle child labour in the region. Programme partners include the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Institute for Development Studies at Sussex (IDS) and the UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia (ROSA). UNICEF Innocenti contributes to this programme by building evidence on the most effective educational programme and policy approaches to reduce child labour in the region, focusing on India and Bangladesh. Within this project, an evidence workshop for results’ presentation is being planned for the second quarter of 2024.
