The Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre works to inform and influence policy makers in order to more effectively tackle childhood poverty.
CHIP is a collaborative venture between Save the Children and the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CRPC) with partners in China, India, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and the UK. It aims to:
- deepen understanding of the main causes of childhood poverty and poverty cycles, and increase knowledge of effective strategies to tackle it in different contexts
- inform effective policy to end childhood poverty, ensuring that research findings are widely communicated to policy makers, practitioners and advocates
- raise the profile of childhood poverty issues and increase the urgency of tackling them through anti-poverty policy and action
- work globally to tackle chronic and childhood poverty in transition and other countries
Their website contains links to policy-relevant reports and briefings, film clips on child labour plus case studies, photographs and links.
