NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

In a ground-breaking step toward mobilizing capital markets to invest in children’s futures, UNICEF USA and 60 Decibels, in collaboration with VisionFund and Global Partnerships, have developed a child-lens impact assessment approach designed to measure the impact that investments have on children across geographies, sectors, and strategies – including for financial service companies and impact investors. The approach builds on UNICEF’s Child-Lens Investing Framework (CLIF), which guides investors to consider child-related factors to advance positive child outcomes while minimizing harm.
