Progress on child well-being: Building on what works

This report analyses the improvements to children’s lives during the past two decades in five sectors: health, nutrition, water and sanitation, education and child protection. The extraordinary progress achieved on many fronts should be celebrated. It is a clear demonstration that, when the right steps and approaches are taken, ‘development works’.

Building on this evidence, this report makes a powerful case for greater investment in ‘childsensitive’ development. It sets out the drivers of change and the key steps to achieving progress.
