UNICEF Extractive Pilot 2014 was designed to encourage and facilitate the integration of children’s rights into companies’ human rights due diligence processes. The project aimed to:

• Identify and analyse ways in which mining sector activity impacts upon children’s rights.
• Understand how companies in the mining sector are managing their impacts on children.
• Develop UNICEF’s expertise and experience to engage extractive companies on children’s rights.
• Provide recommendations to the mining sector on the improved identification and management of their impacts on children’s rights.
• Provide recommendations on how UNICEF can best and most strategically engage with the mining sector on the issues that affect children.
