The development and production of local, national and international state of children's well-being report cards
Geoffrey Woolcock
pp. 57-69
The idea of local communities identifying and reporting on key indicators for children and young people is attracting significant attention as a model for many communities across the Asia-Pacific region. A number of these communities have leveraged their work through an association with the UNICEF Child-Friendly Cities model and/or government-funded place-based initiatives, all using various data and well-being reports as a foundational tool for their planning and monitoring. Other communities have looked to the enormous investment in standardized indices or national well-being scorecards to further the interest in how their own children and young people are faring. There is also a growing understanding internationally that "place-based" and local responses are essential in responding to disadvantage and community well-being.
