Press briefing outlines next phase of Index rollout

Expanding country support and open resources

At a press briefing, the Child Visibility Initiative outlined the next phase of Index rollout, including expanded country support and a public repository of methodological resources. Speakers emphasised continuity with existing partner work rather than a sudden change of direction.

The next phase prioritises practical adoption tools, clearer ethics guidance, and wider access to briefing materials for journalists and civil society. A public repository will host methodology notes, indicator packs, and learning briefs as they are cleared for release.

• Expanded technical support for partner countries

• Open repository of methodological resources

• Regular progress updates for media and stakeholders

Questions from the briefing will be addressed in a follow-up FAQ published alongside the repository launch.
