Investing in the Future: The Power of Child-Lens Investing

April 07, 2025 • AVPN Impact Investing • Season 2 • Episode 8

Investing with a focus on children’s well-being is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic approach to achieving sustainable development goals. UNICEF’s Innovative Finance Hub is pioneering this space with the groundbreaking 'Child-Lens Investing Framework,' guiding global capital markets and investors to integrate child-related considerations into investment decisions.

In this episode, Radha Kulkarni, Lead of Innovative Financing at UNICEF and Francisco Biber, Child Rights Specialist at UNICEF, shares insights into the development and impact of the Child-Lens Investing Framework. We will explore how innovative finance can address the financing gap for children's needs across 190 countries and the potential for private sector engagement in this mission.
