Building Children’s Futures: Implementing Child Rights Impact Assessments

The project Building Children’s Futures: Using Children’s Rights to Recover from the Global Pandemic, of which Eurochild was a partner, used Ireland as a case study to explore how a child rights-based approach, utilising Child Rights Impact Assessments (CRIAs), can be embedded in decision-making in times of emergency.

This Report identifies best practices for responding to children’s needs in Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic and reviews the use of CRIA across Europe. It also contains a Child Rights Impact Assessment template with associated guidance for using the tool.
