Consistent with the Millennium Development Goals 1 (Eradicate extreme hunger and poverty), 4 (Reduce child mortality), and 6 (Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases), the goal of OCHRC is to improve child health and nutrition through the promotion of appropriately targeted research.

OCHRC has five specific objectives:
- Promote priority setting in research within a broadened approach to child health, nutrition and development;
- Expand global knowledge on childhood disease burden and the cost-effectiveness of interventions;
- Ensure adequate inclusion of lower and middle income country institutions and scientists in setting priorities and formulating plans;
- Promote appropriate research capacity development in low and middle income countries;
- Stimulate donor participation to support and increase resources for insufficiently funded research activities.
