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.
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
UNICEF-Mozambique assists the Government of Mozambique through six major programs components including Education, Health/Nutrition, Water/Environment Sanitation, Child Protection, Information and Communication and Social Policy. Within the current Country Programme of Cooperation between the Government of Mozambique and UNICEF that covers the period 2022-2026, UNICEF has conceived and launched the Community Recovery and Resilience Plan (CRRP: 2022-2024), aiming for UNICEF to contribute to build on the current humanitarian response programme with the objective of enhancing social cohesion and equity through system strengthening. The importance of adaptable and agile programming working with a wide range of partners and through different modalities will be at the centre to ensure that children have access to basic services and that they are protected from violence, exploitation, and abuse.
