How we work

UNICEF mobilises political will and material resources to help countries – developing countries in particular –ensure a "first call for children" and to build their capacity to form appropriate policies and deliver services for children and their families. In coordination with United Nations partners and humanitarian agencies, UNICEF makes its unique facilities for rapid response available to its partners to relieve the suffering of children and those who provide their care.

... and why

UNICEF is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and strives to establish children's rights as enduring ethical principles and international standards of behavior towards children.
