The Data for Children Collaborative with UNICEF is a unique partnership between UNICEF, The Scottish Government, and the University of Edinburgh, England.

Its goal is to leverage expertise from each of its partner organizations in order to address existing problems for children using innovative data science techniques. Moreover, in today’s fast-paced technological landscape, where data is a driving force and evidence is vital to decision making, it wants to provide the platform that brings together the data, skills, and expertise to answer our challenge questions. Additionally, its role is to build and support project teams to produce real-world impacts that help the world’s children.
