Prioritize child poverty in national development strategies and plans: Including child poverty in the national development
agenda can have significant impact on reducing it systematically and sustainably. (...) To ensure access to and utilization of these services by the most disadvantaged
children, more investment as well as joint planning across sectors are needed.
5. Safeguard Social Spending: The COVID-19 crisis has greatly impacted children and it is crucial to safeguard spending on
health, education, social protection, and other social sectors. (...) The SDG indicator 1.a.2 gives specific emphasis on investing and tracking social spending, and 1.b.1 emphasizes
that public social spending should reach the poor.

For
countries where defence sector reform is planned, reporting current military spending by category of
expenditure may provide a baseline assessment of present priorities, which can constitute a sensible
and transparent start of the reform process.
(...) “Global military spending [amounts to]
more than $4.6 billion a day, which alone
is almost twice the UN's budget for an
entire year. This level of military
spending is hard to explain in a post-Cold
War world and amidst a global financial
crisis.

Education is one of seven priority sectors in the Mozambican
Government’s agenda for poverty alleviation and national
development. Education Sector planning and budgeting is guided by the 2012-2019 Education Strategic Plan (PEE)5. (...) In the Education Sector, resources are budgeted on a five-year basis through the Medium-Term Fiscal Plan (CFMP) per the priorities laid out in the PEE and Operational Plan; then, re-budgeted into single-year sector budget proposals in accordance with the proposed PES. (...) It is also based on the theory that the sector can achieve greater efficiency, effectiveness, and economy by decentralizing planning and spending authority closer to the end- beneficiary: students.

A demonstration of how SDG 4’s global ambitions are being nationalized into plans, policies, budgets, data collection efforts,
and reports. SDG 4 articulated higher ambitions for governments that often require a review and update to existing sector
plans. Updated plans should be context-based and realistic in terms of pace of education system development. (...) To achieve SDG 4,
national and local governments must accelerate action plans to close inequities and ensure all children are in school, with a
focus on marginalized children and children in humanitarian settings.

These include:
• The poverty reduction strategy papers of the 1990s, based on partner countries’ medium- term priorities and plans
• The sector-wide approaches also developed around the same time—which are large spending programmes in areas such as health, education and agriculture—again, based on partners’ priorities and plans.
• The Millennium Development Goals agreed to by all governments— both donors and partners— as the basis of what we want to have achieved by 2015
• And lastly, the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness of 2005, agreed to by donors and over 60 partner countries.
(...) As a result, the Bank recently launched the new Action Plan “Gender as Smart Economics”. We welcome the co-operation with UNIFEM on implementing concrete results-based initiatives. Norway contributes financially to implementation of the Plan. And we will make sure the World Bank spends from its own resources to implement the plan—and delivers results for women on the ground.

Social safety nets are therefore an important tool not only for helping a child to break out of the cycle of poverty, but for ensuring stability in a child’s life and diminishing the impact of bouts of poverty.
Yet, public spending on social safety has decreased as a percentage of GDP over recent years, and many programs suffer from low benefit amounts, poor targeting, coordination, planning and implementation.
(...) Citizens’ participation in the planning and budgeting processes can also influence budgets for children. (...) Resources
Everything we do at UNICEF, from planning to execution, is grounded in empirical data, independent evaluation, rigorous research and thoughtful analysis.
