The Global Child Poverty Challenge: In Search of Solutions: summary, description and annotation

Children are the most vulnerable people in the world but rarely has the impact of poverty on children been addressed as an urgent issue in its own right. The harm that deprivation does to girls and boys as individuals, and the lasting cost of poverty, have received too limited attention. Policies and programmes have not made best use of the growing evidence of what works for the poorest children to support the efforts of families and children themselves to forge more prosperous futures. In a major effort to counter the invisibility of children in thinking on poverty reduction, The Global Child Poverty Challenge takes stock of a wide range of evidence on how children can be put at the centre of policies and programmes, in ways that recognize their capacities and centrality to future prosperity. The contributors look at experience with key interventions for investing in children including social protection, basic services, skills development for future livelihoods, responsible microfinance and opportunities for decent work. Child sensitive approaches based on child rights principles are seen as central to making these interventions work for the poorest children. Bringing together findings from a variety of settings, this book calls for the recognition of children as holders of rights and agents in their own development. It points to the experience of children living in poverty and draws attention to their many roles: as learners, seekers of opportunity, as migrants, users of financial services and entrants to the world of work. This book is essential reading for all those working on social protection and poverty reduction programmes in developing countries, including researchers, policy makers, and those working for development agencies.

Praise for this book
This book makes a compelling case that a child-sensitive approach is both morally right and practically feasible for ending extreme poverty and achieving sustainable development goals.
Kul Chandra Gautam was formerly Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, and Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF
Practical Action Publishing has done it again, this time by producing an up-to-date briefing on what works or doesnt for reducing child poverty. About half of the worlds poor are children, with higher rates of poverty among children than among adults in both developing and better off countries. Richard Morgan and supporters have reviewed a list of actions at the top of todays thinking about what can be done, with professional assessments in everyday language of the lessons for mobilizing more action in the future. Most useful and an important read for all concerned.
Professor Sir Richard Jolly, Institute of Development Studies, Sussex
The book is a breakthrough in terms of building knowledge on child poverty in Africa on at least three counts: it gives prominence to an issue that is otherwise one of gross research neglect in Africa; it provides an authoritative benchmark for future efforts that aims to take stock of progress made in tackling child poverty; and third, it makes an historical departure from the usual doom and gloom depiction to a discussion of what has worked and what can be done better.
Thophane Nikyma, Executive Director, The African Child Policy Forum (ACPF)
The pathway to poverty reduction begins through collective action, allowing children to acquire foundational skills, develop their confidence as change-makers, build a solid asset base and secure future livelihoods as full economic citizens. CYFI believes that both this publication, and the Global Coalition to End Child Poverty, provides timely inspiration to policy makers and practitioners working to tackle child poverty through practical interventions and far reaching systems change under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Richard Morgan
Richard Morgan has worked in international development for almost forty years, focusing on policy and practical issues of poverty reduction in the developing world. Until recently the head of policy for UNICEF, he now leads a global initiative to combat child poverty with Save the Children. He is also the co-convenor of the new Coalition to End Child Poverty. Richard trained as an economist and worked initially in southern Africa, with roles ranging from small enterprise promotion to food security and rural development. Since the mid-1980s, he has focused on questions of policy and programme design for children. His wide-ranging interests and experience span social protection, inclusive basic services, livelihood strategies and how child rights principles can be used to deliver progress for the poorest children.
Richard Morgan
Abstract
This chapter introduces the case for development policy to treat the reduction of child poverty as an urgent and central issue, based on the still-pervasive nature of the problem and the extensive deprivations and socio-economic losses associated with it. Summaries are provided of the contributions to this book, which present findings and experience from a range of policies and interventions intended to benefit the poorest children in different societies while increasing their capacities and opportunities. An argument is made for adopting child-sensitive approaches to policies and designs for economic strengthening programmes, in ways that recognize the vulnerabilities, voices, and agency of children in poverty themselves.
Keywords: child poverty, inequality, developing countries, child labour, child refugees
ACROSS ALL REGIONS, CHILD POVERTY has long been an unduly neglected issue in national policy. Its implications for economic development have been underestimated and its impacts on societies, future prosperity, and for disadvantaged children themselves have been poorly understood.
