Interesting Facts About UNICEF
UNICEF, sometimes known as the United Nations Children’s Fund, is a United Nations agency that provides humanitarian and developmental assistance to children all over the world. With a presence in 192 countries and territories, the agency is one of the most well-known and well-known social welfare organisations in the world. Immunization and disease prevention are among UNICEF’s initiatives, as are HIV treatment for children and women, improving childhood and maternal nutrition, increasing sanitation, promoting education, and providing emergency relief in catastrophes.
UNICEF is the successor to the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, which was established by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration on December 11, 1946, in New York, to provide emergency relief to children and mothers afflicted by World War II. In the same year, the United Nations General Assembly established UNICEF to formalize post-war relief efforts. Its mandate was expanded in 1950 to include long-term needs of children and women, especially in developing countries. The organisation became a permanent part of the United Nations System in 1953, and its name was altered to its current form, while the old acronym was retained.
UNICEF is completely reliant on government and private donor donations. As of 2020, it has a total income of $7.2 billion, with $5.45 billion coming from public-sector partners. A 36-member executive board is in charge of establishing rules, approving programmes, and overseeing administrative and financial strategies. The board is made up of government representatives who are elected for three-year periods by the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
UNICEF’s programmes focus on improving community-level services to improve children’s health and well-being. With a network of 150 country offices, headquarters, and other facilities, as well as 34 “national committees” that carry out its goal through programmes negotiated with host governments, the majority of its work is done in the field. Seven regional offices provide technical assistance to country offices as needed, and the Supply Division, based in Copenhagen and New York, assists in the delivery of more than $3 billion in crucial aid and services.
