Child-Lens Investing Framework
Encouraging investors to intentionally integrate child-related factors into their decision-making, aiming to advance positive outcomes for children, while minimizing harm.
Highlights
UNICEF’s Child-lens Investment Framework (CLIF) introduces the concept of child-lens investing (CLI) to the market: makes the case for why such an approach is needed, defines what it entails, investigates the current and historical market landscape of child-lens strategies, and shares a blueprint for the development of a vibrant child-lens investing market, field, and ecosystem.
The publication of the Child-lens Investing Framework is the result of an extensive stakeholder co-creation process reflecting insights and feedback from diverse groups of stakeholders including global responsible and impact investment ecosystem actors. It builds upon UNICEF Innovative Finance Hub’s and UNICEF USA Impact Fund for Children’s Discussion Paper on Child-Lens Investing, published in May 2023.
