Events, Partnerships and Institutional Developments from the Child Visibility Initiative

The Child Visibility Initiative is presenting its research on the Child Visibility Index at Data for Policy 2026 in Barcelona, bringing the framework and its methodological foundations into external research and policy discussion.

A progress update summarises Index uptake across partner countries, highlighting shared lessons on data quality, inter-agency coordination, and prevention planning.

The Initiative publishes a methodology note detailing indicator selection, weighting logic, and safeguards designed to keep children visible in administrative systems.

The Initiative sets out its 2026 priorities: refining Index dimensions, supporting country partners, and opening the framework to broader research communities.

Updated guidance helps national partners structure Child Visibility reporting cycles, including recommended indicator packs and interpretation notes for decision-makers.
