Summary/Abstract: Child-related crisis prevention and recovery strategies have a key place among strategies for rebuilding societal systems after the COVID-19 pandemic in both the short and long term. The pandemic has registered difficulties in accessing key services for probably the largest group of vulnerable children – children living at risk of poverty and social exclusion. It is essential to track the impact of the pandemic not only on traditional poverty indicators, but also on financial investment to address the consequences and achieve access and quality of key services.
