And we never give up.

For every child, learning

How can you make a difference?

The UNICEF Office of Research – Innocenti based in Florence, Italy, occupies a unique position within UNICEF as the dedicated centre for research on children. One of the main research streams of the office is multidimensional child poverty analysis, what has also been referred to as “Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis,” or MODA. MODA is the only systematic analytical framework for measuring the various dimensions of poverty affecting children. As such it offers global child rights and development community an incredibly valuable set of tools for developing effective anti-poverty strategies. MODA follows the life course approach, adapting the measure to different stages of the child’s life. It is a flexible tool that can be adapted to different contexts. It has been applied regionally, to low-income countries, the EU, and Arab countries. It has been applied in over 50 countries worldwide.

Over 50 countries have now adopted MODA methodology for the analysis of multidimensional child poverty; however, there is a need to promote the strategy so that it can be scaled up more widely. This is necessary to speed the process of developing polices to achieve SDG target 1.2, elimination of child poverty in all its dimensions.

UNICEF Innocenti is in the process of developing enhanced data visualization interface to make MODA more accessible and interactive online. There is a need to develop a suite of communication materials to introduce the strategy and approach to the child rights and multidimensional poverty communities worldwide.

A cornerstone of the effort to increase the visibility of the MODA approach and to expand the number of countries using it as a primary tool for building poverty alleviation policies is a proposed data animation video. The other materials being developed are a flyer, web-pages that will be better optimized to reflect findings from various studies and a refreshed MODA project web page on the Innocenti website.
