Partnerships
Partnerships are at the heart of everything UNICEF does.
Strong partnerships with the Government of Georgia, international development partners, the civil society, media and the private sector make UNICEF’s work for children more effective.
We nurture and build partnerships to achieve wider goals for children, to close equity gaps and to address the most pressing child rights violations.
UNICEF Ambassador
UNICEF Ambassadors support our work to fulfil the rights of every child and help inspire people to support the cause of children.
Our Ambassadors across different countries have one thing in common: a proven commitment to improve the lives of children. They attract public attention, and channel that attention to the rights and needs of children.
