Over the past decade, the child-friendly schools (CFS) model has emerged as UNICEF’s
signature means to advocate for and promote quality education for every girl and
boy. Child-friendly schools enable all children to achieve their full potential. As a part
of a Global Capacity Development Programme on CFS, UNICEF has developed the
Child Friendly Schools Manual, a reference document and practical guidebook to
help countries implement CFS models appropriate to their specific circumstances.
