UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
Background & Rationale
UNICEF is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. Delivering and sustaining results for children requires action by both governments and the public at large. At the most fundamental level, demographic patterns, trends and changes, for example, population structure, number of births and children, and adolescent fertility rate, migration and urbanization have important implications for global, regional and national actions to help realize the rights of all of children, and foster inclusive and sustainable development. The international community has recognized that demographic trends are essential to be taken into account for programming and planning but more needs to be done to better understand the implications.
