Unicef what do they do

UNICEF is on the ground before, during, and after emergencies, working to reach children and families with lifesaving aid and long-term assistance. UNICEF works all over the world to empower girls and women, and to ensure their full participation in political, social, and economic systems. UNICEF works with partners in every sector to co-create innovative solutions that accelerate progress for children and young people. UNICEF delivers sustainable access to lifesaving supplies where they are most needed, accelerating results for the most vulnerable children.

The lives and futures of millions of children are in jeopard Want to change the world? Child protection and inclusion. Adolescent development. Child protection. We involve everyone in creating protective environments for children.

UNICEF Innocenti coordinates two multi-country evidence generation programmes, Global Kids Online and Disrupting Harm, which serve to generate evidence of the opportunities and risks that children from around the world may encounter in a digital age. We publish research on national and international internet-related policies affecting children and support UNICEF country offices, regional offices and headquarters in carrying out high-quality research and interventions.

We actively contribute to global discussions around online gaming, excessive internet use, digital technology and mental health, online violence and technology-facilitated sexual exploitation and abuse. Children cross borders — within and between countries — in varying circumstances and for different reasons, both voluntary and involuntary.

Children are also trafficked to provide labour or are forced to move because of political violence or environmental disasters. Although domestic migration of children occurs frequently, it is often incorrectly perceived as an everyday phenomenon. International migration of children is now more visible, and because of conflict-induced migration, it is understood as distinct and traumatic. While vast amounts of data now exist chronicling the lives of migrants, we have less understanding of the movement of young people.

Child-sensitive research in this area is essential and can explain intricate dynamics not captured by more general research. Historically, receiving, transit and origin societies have been more tolerant of the migration of children and youth. Some have an exploitative interest in child migrants and others recognize that the international community must commit to protecting child migrants.

For the past 20 years, the Office for Research has contributed to this mandate through its Innocenti Report Card series. The Report Cards focus on the well-being of children in high-income countries. In recent years, the office has also developed other research on children in high-income countries.

This has included reports on:Family-friendly policies which ranks countries on their policies on parental leave and childcare services,The financial impacts of the COVID pandemic on children and families which highlights the risks of the pandemic for child well-being and makes a series of recommendations about how to reduce these risks. Pre-COVID, more than half of children in low- and middle-income countries could not read and understand a simple text by age By co-creating the research with Governments, implementing partners, and communities, evidence is embedded within programmes for maximizing its use.

We are investigating impacts of school closures on children and how to design and deliver effective remote learning for more resilient education systems. Since , in line with UNICEF's Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Programme, Data Must Speak DMS identifies these positive deviant schools, explores which practices make them outperform others, and investigates how these could be implemented in lower performing schools in similar contexts.

DMS uses a participatory, mixed-methods approach to improve uptake, replicability, and sustainability. The research is being undertaken in ten countries across two continents.

By embedding rapid mixed methods research into these programmes, this research provides timely evidence to improve digital learning solutions for all children. We not only examine what works, but also how it works in order to develop the key steps to achieve effective and inclusive digital learning. LUL programmes support children across the education lifecycle: from early childhood education; to primary and secondary school, and finally through to vocational training. Programmes are targeted to the most marginalized, such as children who are out of school or at high risk of dropping out.
