Child Visibility Initiative marks progress across partner countries

Shared lessons from Index uptake

A progress update summarises Child Visibility Index uptake across partner countries, highlighting shared lessons on data quality, inter-agency coordination, and prevention planning. The note is intended for partners comparing implementation paths rather than ranking countries.

Recurring themes include the importance of clear indicator ownership, early investment in missingness diagnostics, and briefing formats that help decision-makers act on scores without treating them as league tables.

• Data quality and missingness diagnostics

• Coordination between ministries and municipalities

• Linking scores to prevention planning cycles

The Initiative will use these lessons to refine guidance packs and workshop curricula for the remainder of 2026.
