Child benefits offer a promising policy tool to promote the realization of children’s rights, reduce poverty and inequality, bolster dignity and social cohesion, build public support for social protection, and broadly strengthen inclusive social development and equitable economic growth. Given the growing momentum for the expansion of child benefits and their progressive universalization, an analysis of the pathways that have enabled countries to progressively expand child benefits is needed.
The overarching purpose of this evaluation is twofold:
(1) to contribute to the global evidence base on relevant and effective actions (by UNICEF and others) that support the progressive expansion of child benefits;
(2) to provide organizational direction to UNICEF on how best to shape interventions in this area of work.
