UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child, …. An opportunity
The Programme Group (PG) provides global programme leadership to achieve results for the most disadvantaged and excluded children everywhere within the overall framework of the UNICEF Strategic Plan 2022–2025 and in response to the universal scope of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). PG leads UNICEF’s global programmatic vision to provide countries in all types of contexts with technical assistance (working closely with ROs) to boost programme excellence as well as support to leverage evidence, partnerships, and innovations that can be adapted and taken to scale in different country contexts – including humanitarian settings and fragile and crisis affected settings in low, middle-, and high-income countries.
Within the PG, a small core team led by the Director, Programmes facilitates cross-programme teams around UNICEF’s normative mandates (gender, human rights, disabilities) and life course priorities (including the focus on early childhood and adolescence). This team fosters and champions special programming areas, programming in high-income countries; change strategies, such as systems strengthening; emerging programme priorities, such as mental health; as well as advocacy as a programme strategy. A key priority has been and will increasingly be to support high quality programmes in humanitarian action, deliberate support to COs in building resilience through the humanitarian-development-peace nexus approach.
