Miscellanea Bridging the Gap to Understand Effective Interventions for Adolescent Well-being: An evidence gap map on protection, participation, and financial and material well-being in low- and middle-income countries AUTHOR(S) Shivit Bakrania; Anita Ghimire; Nikola Balvin Published: 2018 Miscellanea This evidence gap map (EGM) collates the evidence base for adolescent interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with a focus on the outcome domains of protection, participation and financial and material well-being. Outcomes relating to the enabling environment for adolescents are also included to capture the contextual influences that might affect the well-being of adolescents. The EGM contains 74 studies (71 impact evaluations and 3 systematic reviews) of evaluated interventions targeting adolescents in LMICs. Most of the evidence is on financial support to individuals and households, where interventions predominantly include conditional cash transfers, and studies frequently evaluate their impacts on child labour and child marriage outcomes. The second largest evidence cluster relates to the impacts of socio-emotional learning and life skills on adolescent protection, particularly protection-related attitudes, skills and knowledge, while psychosocial support is the third most frequently appearing intervention. At the group and community level, the largest bodies of evidence are on financial literacy and savings schemes, and norm change interventions.The largest evidence gaps are at the policy and institutional level, the enabling environment for adolescent well-being, and the use of and access to information and communication technology (ICT) by adolescents. While coverage of gender is prominent in the literature, only one intervention specifically targets boys and men to promote attitudes towards gender equity. Recommendations for future primary research and synthesis are made. The interactive EGM is available online at www.unicef-irc.org/evidence-gap-map. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 63 | Thematic area: Adolescents | Tags: adolescent health, evaluation, financial resources, people's participation, protection of children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Shivit Bakrania; Anita Ghimire; Nikola Balvin 2018 Bridging the Gap to Understand Effective Interventions for Adolescent Well-being: An evidence gap map on protection, participation, and financial and material well-being in low- and middle-income countries . , pp. 63.

Innocenti Report Card Construire l’avenir : Les enfants et les objectifs de développement durable dans les pays riches Published: 2017 Innocenti Report Card Le présent Bilan propose une évaluation du bien-être des enfants dans une perspective de développement durable dans 41 pays de l’Union européenne (UE) et de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE). Le rapport cherche notamment à exploiter de façon pertinente les cibles des objectifs de développement durable (ODD) visant les enfants des pays à revenu élevé (tout en restant fidèle aux ambitions du programme mondial) et à établir un postulat pour la révision du cadre des ODD dans ces pays. Il s’attache essentiellement aux objectifs et cibles touchant directement au bien-être des enfants dans les milieux à revenu élevé. Le cas échéant, il adapte l’indicateur relatif aux ODD convenu afin de mieux rendre compte des problèmes rencontrés par les enfants dans ces pays. Ces résultats mettent donc en évidence les nouveaux défis posés par les ODD. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 56 | Thematic area: Adolescents, Child Poverty, Equity | Tags: child poverty, child well-being, social inequality, sustainable development × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION 2017 Construire l’avenir : Les enfants et les objectifs de développement durable dans les pays riches. , pp. 56.

En concreto, este informe pretende adaptar las metas de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de modo que sean pertinentes para los niños de países de ingresos altos (sin dejar de respetar las ambiciones de la agenda internacional) y establecer un punto de partida para el examen del marco de los ODS en esos entornos. Se centra en los objetivos y metas más significativos para el bienestar de los niños en contextos de ingresos altos. Asimismo, cabe señalar que en ciertos casos se ha adaptado el indicador de los ODS acordado para que refleje mejor los problemas a los que se enfrentan los niños de dichos países. Por tanto, los resultados ponen de manifiesto los nuevos desafíos que plantean los ODS. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 56 | Thematic area: Adolescents, Equity | Tags: child poverty, child well-being, social inequality, sustainable development × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION 2017 Construir el futuro: Los niños y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible en los países ricos. , pp. 56.
Innocenti Report Card Costruire il futuro: I bambini e gli Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile nei paesi ricchi Published: 2017 Innocenti Report Card Questa Report Card offre una valutazione del benessere dei bambini nel contesto dello sviluppo sostenibile in 41 paesi dell’Unione europea (UE) e dell’Organizzazione per la cooperazione e lo sviluppo economico (OCSE). Nello specifico, il rapporto si propone di rendere operativi i traguardi Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile (SDG) per i bambini dei paesi ad alto reddito (senza tradire le ambizioni del programma globale) e di stabilire un punto di partenza per rivedere il quadro SDG in tali contesti. Il rapporto si focalizza quindi sugli obiettivi e i traguardi più direttamente rilevanti per il benessere dei bambini nelle realtà ad alto reddito, modificando laddove appropriato l’indicatore SDG convenuto per rispecchiare al meglio i problemi che i bambini in questi paesi si trovano a dover affrontare. I risultati evidenziano pertanto le nuove sfide poste dagli SDG. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 56 | Thematic area: Adolescents, Child Poverty | Tags: child poverty, child well-being, social inequality, sustainable development × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION 2017 Costruire il futuro: I bambini e gli Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile nei paesi ricchi. , pp. 56.
