Change Goal 3. Convene & broker leading-edge research Build a Knowledge Coalition; act as a Policy Forum for CSEC. Catalyze Knowledge Creation by developing a common “Umbrella” framework of concepts, definitions & language and systematic, mixed- method approach to data collection and agreements on research ethics in relation to CSEC. To improve knowledge dissemination.

Change Goal 4. Develop the ECPAT Network Clarify the governance and network model. Expand the Network to improve global coverage. Strengthen the network through regionalization, capacity-building, and standards.
