Innovation can drive change for most disadvantage children: Unicef

The United National Children’s Fund (Unicef) emphasised urgent action to prevent millions of children from missing out on the benefits of innovation. Connectivity and collaboration can fuel new global networks to leverage innovation to reach every child, according to the children’s agency, Unicef said in a new report launched on the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The State of the World’s Children Report – Reimagine the future: Innovation for every child calls on governments, development professionals, businesses, activists and communities to work together to drive new ideas for tackling some of the most pressing problems facing children – and to find new ways of scaling up the best and most promising local innovations. The report is a crowd-sourced compilation of cutting-edge innovations and an interactive platform that maps innovations in countries all over the world and invites innovators to put their own ideas ‘on the map’, said a Unicef media release, according to UNB.
