Collaborative on Global Children's Issues

This searchable database provides ongoing access to the body of publicly available evidence, tools, and resources generated with support of the U.S. government around 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.

This resource hub was created to preserve and ensure ongoing public access to key resources and documents related to children in adversity and youth internationally across the U.S. government, particularly from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs.

The searchable repository includes documents produced by the U.S. government and its 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.

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.
