Undertaking research for children's rights

Framed by the guiding principles of the medium-term strategic plan (MTSP) of UNICEF for 2006-2009, the Centre undertakes multi-disciplinary and policy relevant research to promote the generation and dissemination of knowledge and cross-fertilization of experience to raise the profile of children's issues in national and international agendas. The 2006-2008 programme will enable IRC, in cooperation with other UNICEF and United Nations partners, to contribute to the implementation of the Millennium Agenda.
