Organised by

Summary

The ‘Sustaining Investments in Childhood’ side event will facilitate a discussion about the role of an emerging Global Partnership and associated Fund to end violence against children. The Partnership and Fund will be one of several financing mechanisms supporting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This event will inform participants about the progress made in the development of this initiative. It will highlight that a failure to invest in tackling violence against children leads to substantial economic losses (estimated at 2-8% of GDP). The event will also provide evidence of cost effective interventions.
