This issue highlights two important milestones in November: the launch of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty and World Children’s Day (20 November).
Proposed by the G20 Brazil 2024 presidency, this groundbreaking initiative aims to mobilise resources and expertise to develop and implement effective public policies to reduce hunger and poverty worldwide.
Discover the foundational documents and learn more about the initiative, launched on 18 November.
Don’t miss the updates on this initiative and explore our content underscoring the vital role social protection plays in providing stability and opportunities for children and young people.
A child born into a poor family today may need up to five generations to reach the average national income level (Changing the Odds for Vulnerable Children, OECD), highlighting the deep-rooted impact of poverty. Social protection, through safety nets during crises and long-term access to essential services, is crucial in breaking this cycle and fostering a more equitable future for children and youth worldwide. By focusing on social protection measures, programmes can help reduce the time it takes for families to rise out of poverty and build a brighter future for the next generation.
