According to UNICEF Afghanistan MICS 2022-2023 data, 29.8 per cent of children aged 3-17 years have some type of functional difficulty.3 According to evidence, challenges in analysis and design of programmes for people and children with disabilities limited their access to services and equitable outcomes. A lack of specific indicators to track progress for people and children with disabilities hampers the ability to measure and prioritize their needs effectively.
This assessment is needed because children with disabilities in Afghanistan face heightened and often invisible barriers to accessing essential services, including health, nutrition, education, child protection, and social protection, particularly in a context of increasing poverty, displacement, and restrictions on participation. At the same time, disability data and systematic analysis remain limited, constraining evidence-based planning, equitable targeting, and accountability to Leave No One Behind commitments. By combining a situation analysis with an internal readiness assessment, UNICEF Afghanistan and partners will be better positioned to identify practical entry points for disability inclusion, strengthen program design and implementation, and ensure that interventions reach and benefit children with disabilities in a measurable and sustainable way.
Child marriage and early union remain significant challenges in Viet Nam, particularly among ethnic minority girls, rural communities and poorer households. The prevalence increased from 10.6% in 2014 to 14.6% in 2021, affecting millions of girls. Child marriage is driven by a combination of poverty, school dropout, limited access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information and services, and harmful gender and social norms. At the same time, it further exacerbates gender inequality, increases the risk of adolescent pregnancy, limits educational and economic opportunities, and contributes to the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Although Viet Nam has laws prohibiting underage marriage, enforcement is inconsistent and harmful social norms continue to sustain the practice.
