Key reports and briefs produced by the Global Coalition and its members to advance knowledge and action on child poverty
This report, developed by the Global Coalition to End Child Poverty, presents new multidimensional child poverty trend data and highlights countries that have made notable progress — Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Peru, Poland, Senegal, and Tanzania. By distilling the key policies, programmes, and contextual drivers behind these gains, the report aims to provide practical advice for other countries and the international community.
This Coalition brief will be the fifth analysis of the VNRs from a child poverty perspective, looking at how countries report on child poverty. This analysis builds upon the previous briefing paper developed by the Coalition, which reviewed VNRs from 2017 to 2022. This year’s analysis reviews both the 2023 and 2024 VNRs and provides reflections on the trends since 2017.
The climate crisis is not a distant risk but is already threatening children’s rights and their well-being here and now. Almost every child in the world is exposed to major climate and environmental hazards, and 4 out of 5 children face at least one extreme climate event per year. Also, children born today face much higher climate risks than those from previous generations, as the growing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere lead to more frequent and intense extreme weather events.

This Coalition brief is the third annual analysis of the VNRs from a child poverty perspective, looking at how countries mention and discuss their efforts to end child poverty, through measurement and policies. This analysis builds upon last year’s brief developed by the Coalition, which reviewed VNRs from 2017 to 2020.
This brief from the Global Coalition to End Child Poverty looks at the drivers of intergenerational persistent poverty and how it can lead to disempowerment, discrimination and stigma, which feed the vicious circle of poverty and exclusion.

A Call to Action for governments to maintain and scale up their investments in child-focused and child-sensitive social protection to avoid failing an entire future generation.
This Coalition brief focuses on how children living in poverty are reflected in the SDG Voluntary National Reviews (VNR), based on content analysis of VNR reports from 2017, 2018 and 2019 – with a specific focus on the latest July 2019 HLPF.
This brief explores certain groups of poor children potentially missing from data or from analysis, with particular attention to the policy and programming implications for poverty reduction.
