The State of the World's Children 2002 is written by Carol Bellamy and published by UNICEF. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9280636677 (ISBN 10) and 9789280636673 (ISBN 13).

The theme of leadership in this publication is related to the role of governments and international institutions in protecting the well being of children. It is in three sections; the first "birth and broken promises", contrasts the reality of the life of a child born eleven years ago with the promises made at the World Summit for Children, held in New York in 1990. The section, "to change the world with children", looks at the way UNICEF has called attention to the plight of children. The last section, "actions that can change the world", concludes that investing in children is the best investment a country can make and that no country has made a leap to sustainable development without investing significantly in its children.
