Highlights
The Business Impact Analysis (BIA) on Children, Adolescents and Young People, which was carried out in the months June–September 2020, is the first such research in Montenegro.
The purpose of the analysis was to contribute to understanding the extent to which children’s rights, as an integral part of human rights, are recognized in the business sector and as a practice of corporate philanthropy, and to determine the role of the core stakeholders in this process.
The research included:
- A desk review of the economy[1] and the business environment that impact children and families;
- A survey with adolescents and young people about Montenegro’s business sector via the UNICEF U-Report Western Balkans platform;
- In-depth interviews with leading companies from the mapped sectors to understand business policies/strategies that impact child rights, and drive sectoral corporate responsibility and philanthropic activities;
- A desk review of major business associations to assess their advocacy capacities;
- A stakeholder map and matrix from the perspective towards issues affecting children’s rights;
- Application of the UNICEF methodology, tools and guidelines to pull-out areas of impact and risk to children and families and identify opportunities for shared-value partnerships between businesses and organizations that support children.
