In partnership with the Government of India, UNICEF seeks to fill gaps in the knowledge base in terms of implementing successful programmes for children – that is, to answer the basic questions of “what works?” and “what could be improved?”. Ultimately, the goal of the KCCI initiative is to learn lessons from the field in order to improve programming and eventually influence policies related to children.
As part of this programme, the KCCI website aims to be a dynamic, up to date repository of evidence based research in the form of case studies, research papers, articles, on policies and programmes related to the development of women and children. The content of the KCCI website is managed by eSocialSciences (eSS), a broad-based, multidisciplinary social sciences and humanities portal.
