Child Friendly Cities and Communities Handbook

UNICEF Child Friendly Cities and Communities Handbook

This Handbook provides guidance on how to establish a CFCI to help cities do better for children within their jurisdictions. It introduces a global framework and step-by-step guidance on establishing a CFCI to professionalize and streamline the initiative globally, while leaving adequate room for adaptation to local contexts, structures, priorities and needs. It emphasizes the importance of measuring and demonstrating the change that the CFCI brings to the lives of children and youth.

FOR EVERY CHILD, A CHILD-FRIENDLY CITY | All children have the right to grow up in an environment where they feel safe and secure, they have access to basic services and clean air and water, they can play, learn and grown, and their voice is heard and matters. | UNICEF's Child Friendly Cities Initiative supports cities and communities in making this right a reality, for every child.
