Updated guidance for national Child Visibility reporting

Structuring national reporting cycles

Updated guidance helps national partners structure Child Visibility reporting cycles, including recommended indicator packs and interpretation notes for decision-makers. The revision reflects lessons from early adopters on timing, data quality checks, and inter-agency ownership.

The guidance proposes a practical calendar for quarterly and annual reviews, clarifies which agencies should contribute source indicators, and offers language for presenting scores to non-technical audiences without overstating certainty.

• Recommended core and extended indicator packs

• Quality checks before score publication

• Briefing templates for ministers and municipal leads

Partners can adapt the templates to national institutional arrangements while keeping scores comparable across countries.
