Course Overview: This innovative curriculum is a foundational course on economic and social policies to promote equity and child rights. The course is split into modules which include: a human-rights based approach to development; policies to reduce poverty and ensure child rights; multidimensional child poverty; public finance and social budgeting; social protection; children and migration; children and climate change; and advocacy to influence policy for children.
The course is centered in evidence-based practice with the goal of enhancing the theoretical understanding of all professionals on public policy and development issues, and to strengthen their ability to apply this knowledge in the development of programmes and policies.

UNICEF partnered with the Economic Research Foundation (ERF) to develop this programme.
