For Every Child, AN ADVOCATE:
If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you.
To measurably improve UNICEF's ability to deliver better results for children, there is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
For every child in India to achieve her or his full potential, UNICEF has entered into a Programme of Cooperation (2018 – 2022) with the Government of India. Targeting equity, the programme contributes to national flagship efforts so that the poorest of the poor, across caste, class and gender have access to quality care, protection and services.
In 2020, building on existing monitoring platforms, such as network meetings, and Government review meetings, ICO will undertake a mid-term strategic reflection (MTSR), ultimately culminating in a meeting with the UNICEF nodal Ministry and regional office representation towards the 4th quarter.
