Global TIES for Children - New York University

Global TIES for Children is an international research center embedded within New York University's Institute of Human Development and Social Change (IHDSC) and supported by the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute and NYU New York.

At Global TIES for Children, we design, evaluate and advise on programs and policies to improve the lives of children and youth in the most vulnerable regions across the globe. We work with some of the world’s leading non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and with governments in low-income (LI) and conflict-affected (CA) countries on developing and evaluating innovative approaches to promoting holistic development of children and their communities. Together with our key strategic partner organizations our work leverages cutting-edge scientific methods and interdisciplinary collaboration to:

• Generate actionable evidence to promote child and youth development by conducting and evaluating powerful strategies to transform relevant “social settings” (i.e., classrooms, schools, families, communities, etc.) that are key drivers of children’s learning and well-being;
• Communicate actionable evidence by engaging diverse stakeholders across sectors and regions and disseminating a rigorous evidence base to inform program and policy decisions for children and youth in LI and CA countries;
• Build human, administrative, and institutional capacity for a robust global science and practice through the provision of professional development and training activities.
