The Office of Research is UNICEF’s dedicated research arm. Its prime objectives are to improve
international understanding of issues relating to children’s rights and to help facilitate full implementation of
the Convention on the Rights of the Child across the world. The Office of Research aims to set out a
comprehensive framework for research and knowledge within the organization, in support of UNICEF’s
global programmes and policies, and works with partners to make policies for children evidence-based.
Publications produced by the Office are contributions to a global debate on children and child rights issues
and include a wide range of opinions.
