UNICEF seeks to amplify the voices of adolescent boys and girls across all programmatic sectors in the Office, as well as with UN, NGO, academia, private sector and with a government partners.

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.
