The report further reveals that almost half of the world’s children are living in moderate poverty.

The agencies have now called for Social protection among children if they are to escape poverty and its devastating effects.

They explain that this can be done by expanding child and family benefits like pitting in place key policies that can improve access to nutrition, health and education, as well as reducing child labor and child poverty and vulnerability.

According to the report globally only 35% of children on average are covered by social protection which reaches only 16 per cent in Africa.

It further notes that universal social protection for children is not a privilege of wealthy countries.
