Collaborative on Global Children's Issues

The Children and Youth Resource Hub is part of the Children in Adversity Project at the Georgetown University Collaborative on Global Children’s Issues.

Purpose and Scope

This searchable database provides ongoing public access to the body of evidence, tools, and resources generated by the U.S. Government or with the support of the U.S. Government regarding children in adversity and youth in development, so that practitioners, researchers, donors, and communities can benefit from the information and continue to build on what has been learned.

The searchable repository includes documents produced by the U.S. government, such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), as well as other implementing partners. The contents of the repository were originally created for public distribution and are archived by the Collaborative on Global Children’s Issues for the purpose of preserving institutional memory and are not authored, published, or owned by the Collaborative on Global Children’s Issues. You can search by keywords, region, type of resource, broad topics such as education or health, or more specific topical areas like care reform or positive youth development.

Copyright and Usage Status

The materials hosted in this repository fall into two primary categories:

• Federal Government Works: Resources produced directly by U.S. Government agencies and their employees as part of their official duties are generally not subject to copyright protection in the United States and reside in the public domain.
• Grant-Supported Works: Materials produced with the support of government grants (e.g., from USAID or ILAB) are typically subject to open licenses. These licenses allow subsequent users to copy, distribute, transmit, and adapt the work, provided attribution is given in the manner specified by the original grant recipient.

Legal Disclaimers

• Views and Opinions: The views, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in grant-supported materials are those of the original authors and do not necessarily reflect the official views or policies of the U.S. Federal Government.
• Accuracy: All materials are provided "as is" for informational and educational purposes. While we strive to mirror the versions formally posted on official federal websites, we make no guarantees regarding the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of the information.
• No Warranty: All materials are provided without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.

Other Resources

Other entities will continue to be hubs of new resources and learning for children’s development, care and protection, and youth in development, including the Better Care Network, Early Childhood Development Action Network, Nurturing Care Resources, INSPIRE, The Global Fund for Children, UNICEF Innocenti Office of Global Research and Foresight, and others.

The Collaborative on Global Children's Issues will continue to add resources to the repository periodically. Those who have documents related to U.S. government research or grant-funded materials related to children in adversity and youth in development are invited to submit them for consideration to globalchildren@georgetown.edu.
