The forum's goal is to integrate knowledge with action in regions around the world to inform evidence-based, strategic investments in young children. This interactive report shows the progress made by the iYCG forum since its inception.
To encourage global dialogue, iYCG solicited video reactions from those who attended the workshops on what investing in young children globally means to them.

Young influencers are a dynamic, young, engaged group of researchers and implementers who work behind the scenes to support policy and practice for investing in young children globally. This community consists of support staff for policymakers and program implementers, young researchers at universities, and community leaders. They are a group with intense energy and dedication who champion the well-being of young children and ensure their protection in the political sphere.
