Mission and objectives
UNICEF has been working in Liberia for close to 30 years, turning our vision for children into practical action.
The organization's work in the country is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, the African Union 2040 Agenda for Children, and Agenda 2063 of the Economic Community of West African States. UNICEF's vision for Liberia is that all children, from birth to adolescence, exercise their rights to survival, development, protection, and participation. To achieve this vision, UNICEF focuses on three key areas:
Strengthening service delivery systems in health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), early and basic education, and child protection.
Empowering communities to claim their rights and adopt positive social norms and practices.
Prioritizing children's issues and creating an enabling environment conducive to effective governance.
UNICEF's work in Liberia is guided by the following principles:
Focus on intersectoral and community-based approaches.
Enhanced integration of disaggregated data, evidence generation, and the use of innovation.
Stronger emphasis on prevention and resilience-building.
Emergency preparedness and response.
Partnership with the Liberian private sector.
