Ujana Salama: Cash Plus Model on Youth Well-being and Safe, Healthy Transitions – Round 3 Findings
июл. 2021
Working Paper
“Ujana Salama” (‘Safe Youth’ in Swahili) is a cash plus programme targeting adolescents in households receiving the United Republic of Tanzania’s Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN).

What Is Encryption and Why Does It Matter for Children?
июл. 2021
Working Paper
Encryption encodes information so that it can only be read by certain people. ‘End-to-end’ is a robust form of encryption where only the users communicating can read the information. In other words third parties – such as service providers – cannot decrypt the information. It matters for children because while it protects their data and right to privacy and freedom of expression it also impedes efforts to monitor and remove child sexual abuse materials and to identify offenders attempting to exploit children online.

Integrated National Financing Frameworks
нояб. 2020
Working Paper
Financing has emerged as a key challenge in SDG implementation. Yet a recent study found that 79 out of 107 national sustainable development plans are not costed. Integrated national financing frameworks (INFFs) can help countries to close this gap. They help countries raise resources enhance coherence of financing policies and overcome short-termism in budgeting and the financial sector. INFFs can also help countries recover from COVID-19 (coronavirus) and its economic fallout finance building back better and manage risks. Interest in INFFs has grown exponentially since the concept was introduced in the Addis Ababa Action Agenda—around 60 countries have committed to design and implement integrated financing frameworks with support from the UN system.
The Long-term Impact of COVID-19 on Poverty
нояб. 2020
Working Paper
This Policy Brief aims to inform policymakers of the potential impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus) on poverty. It will explore the implications of COVID-19 through various macroeconomic scenarios ranging from the very optimistic to the pessimistic. The findings suggest that complete eradication of extreme poverty by 2030 looks highly unlikely even in the most optimistic scenario and that the global number of people living in extreme poverty could in fact continue to go up in the more pessimistic scenario. The final section will summarize the findings and discuss policy implications. Policies to reduce inequality and promote a country’s social and macroeconomic resilience such as the strengthening of labour standards and the expansion of the social protection systems and universal health coverage are needed now more than ever. As developing countries currently face the prospect of costly debt crises with far-reaching consequences global action is urgently needed. The window to mitigate the disastrous long-term consequences of COVID-19 on poverty is closing rapidly.
Strengthening Data Governance for Effective Use of Open Data and Big Data Analytics for Combating COVID-19
апр. 2021
Working Paper
Governments are highly dependent on all data including official statistics administrative data open data and big data analytics for decision-making and actions to address the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. These data allow governments to set priorities and adjust their decisions quickly and effectively in response to rapidly evolving COVID-19 situations. Open data and big data analytics particularly through Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms and data visualization tools are empowering governments to predict virus mutations track virus spread in real-time and identify medications for treating COVID-19. Governments are using big data analytics to get prepared react effectively and develop both short-term and long-term strategies. Yet increasing public concerns about data privacy and security put in jeopardy public trust in data collection use and dissemination by government business and relevant non-government institutions. To ensure effective use of open data and big data analytics for combatting COVID-19 it is necessary to strengthen data governance with regard to data collection data partnership data analysis data dissemination and protection of data privacy and data security.

How Listening Develops and Affects Well-being Throughout Childhood
апр. 2022
Working Paper
This review study was a first attempt to map the existing theoretical and empirical literature about a possible core capacity for well-being: listening. The main research question was: drawing from a multidisciplinary evidence base what is the empirical and theoretical knowledge of children’s listening and how does it interact with overall well-being throughout childhood? Moreover the review of the literature will contribute to the understanding of listening as a core capacity for well-being within the Learning for Well-Being framework. The review included systematic searches in four electronic databases and a selection of studies based on pre-set criteria. It focuses on the development of listening throughout childhood listening in formal and informal learning listening in family and community settings and possible links between listening and well-being. Relevant empirical studies were identified that further explain the development of listening comprehension throughout childhood. Relevant streams of literature identified included listening to music and positive effects on child well-being children’s extensive listening in schools and the effects of undesirable listening environments. Overall in combination with the mapping papers on the eight other core capacities this paper can contribute to the understanding of core capacities possibly benefiting child well-being.
