USAID has partnered with UNICEF for decades to improve the health and well-being of children globally. As the world’s leading organization mandated to promote and protect children’s rights, and help meet their basic needs, UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, and to help them to thrive and fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. The United States Government (USG) is the leading public sector funder of UNICEF operations and programs. USAID’s funding to UNICEF provides support to humanitarian and development activities, reflecting the dual mandate of both organizations. Learn more in this partnership brief.
