    UNICEF: A global mission for the well-being of children

    UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund, is one of the world's best-known and most far-reaching social welfare organizations. Founded in 1946 to protect children after World War II, UNICEF now works in 192 countries and territories to help the world's most needy children.

    Main mission and values

    UNICEF's main mission is to defend children's rights, meet their basic needs and increase their chances of reaching their full potential, and this is supported by UNICEF's vision to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the achievement of peace and social progress as enshrined in the UN Charter.

    UNICEF is guided by five core values:

    • Care: UNICEF cares for children, young people and mothers in all contexts and ensures that this care is also felt in the working relationships within the organisation.
    • Respect: Effective programs require that the recipients of support be understood and respected, and that colleagues at all levels receive the same respect that you want for yourself.
    • Integrity: UNICEF's reputation depends on all staff acting honestly and transparently and setting the highest standards.
    • Trust: Trust in communities and among employees is essential to provide effective programs and services.
    • Accountability: Public and private donors as well as children and vulnerable people worldwide have the right to know how UNICEF programs are carried out, resources are deployed and results are achieved.

    Key products and services

    UNICEF offers a wide range of services aimed at improving the lives and well-being of children and mothers.

    • Vaccination campaigns and disease prevention: provision of vaccinations and disease prevention measures.
    • Health care: treatment of children and mothers with HIV and other health problems.
    • Nutrition and hygiene: improvement of the nutrition of children and mothers and of sanitary conditions.
    • Education: promotion of education and access to educational institutions.
    • Emergency assistance: provision of emergency assistance in the event of disasters and conflicts.

    Sustainability goals and initiatives

    UNICEF is strongly committed to the Sustainable Development Goals and a better future for all children.

    • Climate action: UNICEF is calling for urgent climate action and supporting countries in developing their national climate action plans (NDCs).
    • Gender equality: campaigns against sexual violence and early marriage, and the strengthening of the rights of girls and young women.
    • Conflict regions: humanitarian aid and protection for children in conflict areas, such as the Middle East.

    UNICEF works tirelessly to improve the lives of millions of children around the world and to defend their rights. Through its comprehensive programmes, strong values and commitment to sustainable development goals, UNICEF contributes significantly to a better worldview for all.
