Urgent action is needed to prevent millions of children from missing out on the benefits of innovation, the latest report said. Connectivity and collaboration can fuel new global networks to leverage innovation to reach every child.

It called on governments Salomon Shoes Sale Outlet , development professionals, businesses, activists and communities to work together to drive new ideas for tackling some of the most pressing problems facing children and to

find new ways of scaling up the best and most promising local innovations.

The crowd-sourced compilation of cutting-edge innovations and an interactive platform maps innovations in countries all over the world and invites innovators to put their own ideas on the map.

"Inequity is as old as humanity, but so is innovation and it has always driven humanity's progress," said UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. "In our ever-more connected world, local solutions can have global impact, benefiting children in every country who still face inequity and injustice every day."

"For innovation to benefit every child Salomon Shoes Sale , we have to be more innovative, rethinking the way we foster and fuel new ideas to solve our oldest problems," said Lake, who made a special mention of China in this regard.

"And when I talk about innovations, I'm not only talking about technological innovations but also new ways of thinking, new ways of doing things," said Lake Salomon S-WIND Sale , who shared with Xinhua his recent visit to China.

During his  age of five and increased accesstay in China, Lake visited Chinese villages where people are experimenting through UNICEF and the Chinese government on new ways of teaching in the most disadvantaged areas, "which was going very well and the government will take it to scale some of these ideas around China."

The UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. Since then, there has been progress in advancing child rights, with a huge reduction in the numbers of children dying before the to education and clean water, UNICEF said.

UNICEF said it has prioritized innovation across its network of more than 190 countries Salomon S-LAB SENSE Sale , setting up labs around the world including in Afghanistan, Chile, Uganda, and Zambia to foster new ways of thinking, working and collaborating with partners and to nurture local talent.

"Every nation has different problems and every person has different solutions," said Deu, who appeared at a launch luncheon in UN Headquarters in New York.
