Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Database
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. The Organization helps developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Founded in 1945, FAO has focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

The FAO Database provides basic information for accessing resource persons, organizations, projects, publications either involved in, or concerned with, the improvement of the livelihood conditions of rural disabled persons, particularly in developing countries. The Database also provides some statistics on the number of disabled persons in FAO member countries.

Italian National Bioethics Committee
The National Bioethics Committee was established by a decree signed by the President of the Council of Ministers on 28 March 1990 with the following tasks:
  • to make, if necessary by exercising its faculty to access the required information in the existing national operating centres, as well as by liaising with similar committees set up in other countries and other international organizations operating in the sector, an outline summary of the programmes, objectives and results of research and experimentation in the field of the life sciences and human health;
  • to express opinions and suggest solutions, also for the purpose of preparing legislative acts, to address the ethical and legal problems that may emerge as a result of the progress of research and the emergence of possible new applications of clinical interest, taking into account the safeguarding of fundamental human rights and human dignity and the other values as expressed in the Constitutional Charter and in the international instruments supported by Italy;
  • to propose solutions for the functions of control over both the safeguarding of human and environmental security in the production of biological material and the protection from all risk of all patients treated with products produced by genetic engineering or who are subjected to gene therapy; - to promote the drawing up of codes of conduct for practitioners operating in the various sectors concerned and to encourage the proper informing of public opinion.
The Committee is tasked by members of the Government, of the Parliament and of other institutions. Associations, research centers, local ethics committees, scholars and single individuals can address themselves to the Committee for information regarding bioethics. The site is predominantly in Italian except for the Opinions section, with many full articles also in English.

Understanding Children's Work
The International Labour Organisation (ILO), UNICEF and the World Bank initiated the inter-agency research project, Understanding Children's Work (UCW), in December 2000.

The UCW Project is guided by the Oslo Agenda for Action, unanimously adopted at the 1997 International Conference on Child Labour, which laid out global priorities in the fight against child labour. The Oslo Agenda identified the need to improve data and information on child labour, and called for stronger international cooperation in efforts against child labour.

The UCW Country Reports are designed to provide an overview of the child work phenomenon - its extent and nature, its determinants, its consequences, and national responses to it - in specific national contexts. The Country Reports serve two important UCW project objectives. First, they help provide a common analytical understanding of child work, which can be used to inform and increase the coherency of the agencies' efforts against child labour at the local level. Second, through close involvement of local counterparts in its development, the reports contribute to building national capacity in collecting and analysis child work data.

In addition to the Country Reports, the UCW website offers country-specific statistics, survey datasets, research reports and bibliographies on child labour.

UNICEF IRC TransMONEE Database
The UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre (IRC) in Florence, Italy, was established in 1988 to strengthen the capacity of UNICEF and its cooperating institutions to respond to the evolving needs of children and to develop a new global ethic for children. It promotes the effective implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in both developing and industrialized countries, thereby reaffirming the universality of children's rights and of UNICEF's mandate.

The TransMONEE is the database associated with the UNICEF IRC's MONEE project. It contains data related to the social and economic situation and wellbeing of children, young people and women in Central and Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Baltic States (CEE/CIS).

  • List of variables included in TransMONEE 2007
  • Glossary: Definition of variables
