Partnerships: at the very heart of our work
Partnerships are at the heart of everything UNICEF does. The power of partnerships allows us to expand our reach, working with a wide range of like-minded partners to deliver our universal mandate for children, in line with our Strategic Plan. We work with partners to accelerate progress towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and, together, form a global, rights-based agenda for children that has a strong focus on the most vulnerable.
While the governments of the region remain our chief partners, we also work with intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations; academia; UN agencies; international financial institutions and the private sector. We nurture and build partnership to achieve wider goals for children, to close equity gaps and to address the most pressing child rights violations across the region.
