This book is about mainstreaming children in international development and policy. It focuses on the role of children's 'voices' (broadly defined) and the intersection of knowledge about childhood poverty, policy and practice. The book weaves together theory, mixed methods approaches and case studies spanning a number of policy sectors and diverse developing country contexts. The book provides an introduction to students and development professionals who are new to debates on children and development, whilst at the same time offering scholars in the field new methodological and empirical insights.

Product Description
Review
"This book is a significant and timely contribution to an improved understanding of the neglected but all-too-important subject of Child Poverty and what to do about it. It is a must reading for researchers and policy makers interested in child poverty and evidence-based advocacy and public policy" Dr. Assefa Bequele, Director, African Child Policy Forum "Jones and Sumner provide a sophisticated analysis of the multi-dimensional interplay between evidence and policy on child poverty. The result is a compelling account of why child poverty in developing countries needs to be tackled by increasing children's visibility, voice and vision in both knowledge generation and policy processes. Academics and policy audiences alike will find it invaluable." Sandra Nutley, Professor of Public Management, University of Edinburgh Business School
