What we do
UNICEF Office of Innovation co-creates to discover, iterate and scale innovative solutions for every child everywhere, demonstrating UNICEF’s public sector leadership.
Achieving the child-related Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 calls for accelerated progress. At UNICEF innovation is a driver for transformative change.
In a collective movement with innovative minds across industries and generations, the Office of Innovation and our network of collaborators across 190 countries co-create to discover, iterate and scale solutions and approaches making social impact for this and coming generations.
Our expansive network provides us a global footprint with access to authentic insights, to ensure innovation is crafted and tested collaboratively – with and for the end users. From children and young people, to community health workers, teachers, parents, government officials and grassroots activists, our diverse network allows us to address the most pressing issues for young people in all their diversity.
