Justice for Children Policy Brief: Smarter Financing

Inspiring Children’s Futures is delighted to present the Working Group on SDG16+ Justice for Children Policy Brief: Smarter Financing.

This Policy Brief outlines rationales for smarter financing, highlights key attributes of smarter financing strategies to achieve justice for children, and offers prompting questions for policymakers, agencies and relevant ministers to drive this reform.  

In 2022, the SDG16+ Working Group on Justice for Children published the Justice for Children Agenda for Action to implement change across four key strategic levers needed to accelerate change for children:

1. Building new types of partnerships, including intergenerational networks.

2. Developing strategies for smarter financing; building the case to shift investment to children’s inclusion and well-being, and the political support for prevention.

3. Policy Brief coming soon… Using evidence and data to steer child-centred reforms, including disaggregated data, child friendly methodologies and child-centred views to drive change.

4. Scaling up justice innovations, and applying imagination and safeguards for digital justice tools with children.

The themes of these key strategic levers form the basis of our four Justice for Children Policy Briefs. Stay tuned for Policy Brief: Evidence and Data, coming soon!
