Webinar: Maximising the Use of Administrative Data for Children

10 December, 2026 (9:00-11:00 AM CET)

Birth registration, schools, health services, social assistance and child protection services generate valuable information about children. Yet much of this information is not routinely used to produce statistics or inform decisions that affect their lives. 

This webinar will share and discuss the outcomes of the TransMonEE multi-country initiative “Maximising the use of administrative data for children”. The initiative combined diagnostics of administrative data landscapes in seven participating countries and territories with a review of international evidence and six good practice examples. It developed a roadmap with strategic entry points and recommendations for UNICEF and governments. 

The findings point to a common challenge: the foundations of administrative data are ahead of their use for children. Moving forward requires more than technology; it also requires clear mandates, coordination, quality assurance, safeguards and an expectation that data will inform action. Some country findings remain provisional pending validation with national counterparts.

Who should attend?

The webinar is intended for national statistical offices; ministries and agencies responsible for civil registration, education, health, social assistance and child protection; child rights coordination and monitoring bodies; UNICEF colleagues; and partners involved in producing or using data on children.
