How does a country’s energy strategy, tax policies, or urban planning change the way children grow up and develop in society? How does your work impact upon their lives and rights?

Children are the greatest driver for social and economic change, and whether intended or not, every policy and development programme in a country positively or negatively affects their lives and with it, the future of society. Without considering children in all areas of development cooperation, we are likely to fail in our objectives of sustainable and inclusive growth, prosperity and peace.

Beyond the moral imperative of considering children in all development sectors, there is a pure financial argument to make for integrating child rights throughout all sectors of development cooperation: children make up more than half of the population in most developing countries. If your investments are to pay off in the long term, it makes good sense to consider how they affect the lives and the futures of the most susceptible target group. The EU-UNICEF Child Rights Toolkit provides practical tools and guidance to realise children’s rights across all sectors of development cooperation in the post-2015 era.
