Published purpose

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, help meet their basic needs and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. In countries experiencing humanitarian crises, UNICEF fulfills its mandate through humanitarian assistance programming activities outlined under the Humanitarian Action for Children appeal and guided by its Core Commitments for Children.

Project activities include: (1) providing water, sanitation and hygiene facilities; (2) treating children for severe acute malnutrition; (3) providing emergency education programming for children and adolescents; (4) providing child protection safe spaces including gender-based violence risk mitigation, prevention or response interventions for children and women; and (5) providing basic health care.
