To support the achievement of health outcomes under the 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, the Health Programme Team will develop and implement a Knowledge and Research Approach aligned with corporate standards to strengthen the work of the UNICEF health workforce across Centers of Excellence (CoEs) and country offices. The Center of Excellence needs robust, rigorous and in some cases, empirical evidence to support the technical assistance provided. UNICEF Country offices need increased knowledge access to achieve quality programming and CoEs need mechanisms and feedback loops to return country knowledge for organizational decision making. UNICEF partners need to be clear on UNICEF knowledge positions, production and stance. Strategic vision, systems and processes are needed to grow this knowledge evidence base and make use of new technologies such as AI and others optimally, to crawl through evidence tracks. Evidence tracks need cohesion with webinars and policy papers disseminated. There needs systems coherence across sections. This Knowledge and research Approach needs to provide an institutionalized way of growing, synergizing and governing evidence generation of child thought leadership as well as children’s program implementation, for optimal programming and advocacy for children. UNICEF has developed a TA Hub with an AI function to search evidence and this is a new development internally but how much of this valuable information can also be shared externally will need to be considered in this new Knowledge and research Approach.

La clasificación del gasto público es clave para planificar, monitorear y evaluar políticas orientadas a garantizar derechos y reducir brechas en grupos prioritarios.
