DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of the CWKN 2023 Festival of Wellbeing Con
 versations.  \n\nA growing number of governments worldwide\, and in Canada
 \, are taking a new approach to public policy\, one that puts the wellbein
 g and quality-of-life of citizens at the centre of policy decisions and bu
 dgeting. Through the Spring and Fall of 2023\, the Canadian Wellbeing Know
 ledges Network (CWKN) is hosting a series of webinars discussing key issue
 s\, challenges\, and opportunities of the wellbeing approach to policy and
  sharing examples of wellbeing policy initiatives across Canada and global
 ly. For more information on wellbeing policy\, the CWKN\, and future event
 s you can contact jennifer.proudfoot [at] mcgill.ca (Jennifer Proudfoot).
 \n\nAbstract:\n\nA global pandemic has increased public understanding of w
 hat really matters for wellbeing and how it can be more equitable\, and th
 ere is a call for governments to make wellbeing or quality-of-life a centr
 al policy objective and source of accountability for current and future ge
 nerations. Within this momentum are challenges to develop inclusive wellbe
 ing concepts and measurement frameworks and to link these meaningfully to 
 how policies\, programs and budgets are decided. Children are often invisi
 ble or only partially visible in measurement frameworks intended to guide 
 budget allocation. The rights of children to maximum investment of public 
 budgets and to budget transparency and accountability are not well known. 
 However\, the wellbeing policy movement opens up an opportunity to embed b
 etter practices in public financing for children: how and when money is sp
 ent on children in public systems to achieve better outcomes for children.
 \n\nThis webinar will share information about child-sensitive budgeting to
 :\n\n\n	Share concrete practices and approaches\n	Describe the universal obl
 igations of States Parties pursuant to the United Nations Convention on th
 e Rights of the Child\n	Convey the benefits to children and to governments

 y and budgets\n\n\nZOOM Registration\n\nModerator:\n\nLisa Wolff\n	Director
