The committee identifies topics that are central to child development and can influence the formulation of Brazilian public policies and programs related to the well-being of children and their families, especially the most vulnerable. The discussions and ongoing consensus-building processes result in Working Papers and complementary communications products. Members of the Scientific Committee also regularly collaborate with other NCPI workstreams, such as the International Symposium, Executive Leadership Program and Innovation Lab, and represent NCPI in interviews and media statements.
