**Purpose of Activity/Assignment**

The European Child Guarantee (ECG) is an EU-wide initiative designed to combat child poverty and social exclusion by ensuring that children in need have access to essential services. Established in 2021 through Council Recommendation 2021/1004, the ECG fundamentally guides key public policy and governance actions in the EU and across member states. The ECG aims to prevent and combat social exclusion of children in need by guaranteeing access to a set of key services, by combating child poverty, breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty and fostering equal opportunities. The ECG focuses on children in vulnerable situations, such as those in poverty, with disabilities, with migrant or refugee backgrounds, in alternative, especially institutional, care and in precarious family situations. ECG focuses on five key areas for children’s well-being: early childhood education and care, education, healthcare, adequate nutrition, and housing. EU member states have advanced considerably since the adoption of the ECG.

The ECG is a transformative instrument, agreed across all EU member states and supported through an ESF+ earmark, that aims to reach the most marginalized and vulnerable children and equip them with interventions that will support them in becoming active, productive citizens. It is recommended that all Member States earmark an appropriate portion of their European Social Fund Plus allocation to address child poverty and social exclusion. Specifically, for those Member States where the rate of children at risk of poverty or social exclusion exceeds the EU average, this allocation should be no less than 5% of their national share of the European Social Fund Plus.

Between July 2020 and April 2023, the European Commission partnered with UNICEF Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (ECARO) to test how the ECG could be practically implemented and to provide recommendations for its successful design and execution across all EU member states. In collaboration with national and local governments in seven EU member states (Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania and Spain) UNICEF demonstrated how the ECG could be operationalized to reach the most excluded and disadvantaged children.

UNICEF developed and tested a wide range of integrated and evidence-based and -informed models of services and interventions for the most disadvantaged groups of children within key CG services that can be scaled at national level and inform the national planning processes.

Throughout the pilot phase UNICEF carried out operational research (process evaluation) to learn from planning and programming experience in the 4 countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece and Italy), to generate key learning points. Research focused on seven key themes: planning, implementation, integrated working, monitoring and evaluation, participation, inclusion, and sustainability.

At the end of the pilot phase a final evaluation has been conducted to inform the next steps in supporting the ECG full implementation in EU member states. UNICEF continued to provide support to a number of countries in line with the recommendations of the final evaluation. UNICEF has played a pivotal role as a key partner in the European Commission’s Technical Support Instrument (TSI). This instrument provides technical assistance to EU Member States to design and implement structural reforms. It succeeds the Structural Reform Support Programme (2017-2020) and is part of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027 and the Recovery Plan for Europe. The TSI enhances Member States’ administrative capacity to design, develop, and execute reforms. Through this initiative, UNICEF supports member states in critical areas such as child protection, child care, early childhood education, and mental health, among others.

The knowledge gained from working with national and local authorities is invaluable in advancing the ECG across the EU. The tools and models developed can be adapted to meet the unique contexts of each country, and the expertise garnered can ensure continued progress in ECG implementation.

UNICEF supports dissemination of ECG transformative power beyond the European Union by establishing the ECG Learning Hub. As the implementation of the ECG develops further, there has been a growing demand from pre-accession countries to understand the ECG and to explore what such a child guarantee might
