UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories to protect the rights of every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. UNICEF has spent 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families. Defending children’s rights throughout their lives requires a global presence, aiming to produce results and understand their effects. UNICEF believes all children have a right to survive, thrive and fulfill their potential – to the benefit of a better world.
And we never give up!
For every child, a Champion!
UNICEF in the State of Palestine aims to help every child attain her or his rights and realize their full potential. To help mobilize support for the children who are most in need, UNICEF and partners track key indicators, analyses gaps, and bottlenecks to the realization of rights. Major strides have been made in the last decades to improve the situation of children in the State of Palestine. But much remains to be done for every Palestinian child to realize his/her full potential.
UNICEF (as the lead agency for the IASC Water, Sanitation and Hygiene cluster), and in collaboration with the State Authorities, aims to provide leadership and facilitate the processes that will ensure a well-coordinated, coherent, strategic, and effective WASH response in SoP.
