3. The objective of this project assignment for the term 2 we have to present a clear picture of
the market for the brand UNICEF. With the main focus on the Benelux, and also to advise the best
strategy to reach the target groups. In order to develop the marketing strategy, first we made an
extensive analysis of the market, it’s competition and the brand itself.
This project report represents a summary of organization UNICEF. A nonprofit organization
that works for children’s rights, survival, development and protection. The world’s children
have by far the largest stake in the effects of globalization. This plan will be beneficial to the
UNICEF and Inholland Organization.
Throughout this project the team has been given an ideal opportunity of first-hand experience
with a typical marketing research. It has taught us how to specify a target audience, find the
strengths and the weaknesses of a company, promote key, particular attributes and many other
important marketing tasks and in order to come up and develop a business strategy for the
company.

these 4 activities, have as their goals, to raise funds or resources for the disadvantaged afghan
children.

The history
After World War II , many children were raised in very poor conditions. Unicef was created in
December 1946 by the United Nations to provide those children with food , clothes and health
care.
In 1953 UNICEF begins a successful global campaign against yaws , a disease that can be cured
with penicillin.
In 1959 “The UN General Assembly adopts the Declaration of the Rights of the Children , which
defines children’s rights to protection , education , health care , shelter and good nutrition.”
In 1965 Unicef is awarded the Nobel prize for “the promotion of brotherhood among nations”.
International Year of the child was a celebration around the world when people and
organizations reaffirm their commitment to children’s rights.
The convention on the rights of the child is adopted by UN General Assembly in 1989.It enters
into force in September 1990.
In 1990 a World Summit is organized , where are invited the heads of state and government at
the United Nations in New York City. The summit sets 10-year goals for children’s health ,
nutrition and education.
In 2002 “a landmark Special Session of the UN General Assembly was convened to review
progress since the World Summit for Children I 1990 and re-energize global commitment to
children’s rights.
(http://www.unicef.org/about/who/index_history.html)
What UNICEF stands for …
UNICEF stands for the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund. In 1950 its
mandate was broadened to address the long-term needs of children and women in developing
countries everywhere. UNICEF became a permanent part of the United Nations system in 1953 ,
when its name was shortened to the United Nations Children’s Fund. However , UNICEF
retained its original acronym. (http://www.unicef.org/about/who/index_faq.html)
Unicef relies on contributions from governments and private donors. Governments contribute
two thirds of the organization’s resources; private groups and some 6 million individuals
contribute the rest trough the National Committees .
(http://www.unicefusa.org/site/c.duLRI8O0H/b.25933/k.8DDD/US_Fund_for_UNICEF__US_Fun
d_for_UNICEF.htm)
Most of UNICEF's work is in the field, with staff in over 190 countries and territories. More than
200 country offices carry out UNICEF's mission through a program developed with host
governments. Seven regional offices provide technical assistance to country offices as needed.
Overall management and administration of the organization takes place at its headquarters in
New York. UNICEF's Supply Division is based in Copenhagen. A 36-member Executive Board
establishes policies, approves programs and oversees administrative and financial plans.
why People donate ?

THE difference to children everywhere because:
We operate in more countries and help more children then any other humanitarian
organization.
9. We do whatever it takes to reach vulnerable children, from stopping wars to trekking through
the remotest deserts. For example, we pioneered ‘Days of Tranquility’ to arrange ceasefires in
times of war so children can be reached with lifesaving healthcare.
We work with and coordinate everyone who cares about children - partner organizations,
governments, communities, parents and children themselves - to make sure no child is
forgotten.

%202010.pdf
Conclusion:
Free the child in comparison to UNICEF is more target towards youth education than any other
issues. Also Free the child seeks and create support by trying to aware the Youth about the
issues they care about. So, therefore youth is their main target group. The second different
point between UNICEF and FTC is in the way both organization raise money for their activities.
Common value, both organization working to achieve the UN millennium goals by 2015.
Save the Children is an internationally active non-governmental organization that
enforces children's rights, provides relief and helps support children in developing countries. It

ion.htm
Conclusion:
Save the children is an independent organization, and UNICEF is of course a dependent
organization of the UN. Save the children as a board of trustees, and each member of the board is
individually contributing to the organization capital. Both organization aiming big towards
corporate donation. UNICEF as a bigger brand awareness then save the children. UNICEF is
more involved in child advocacy and rights but save the children in their turn do more work in
creating more livelihoods than UNICEF does.

PEST Analysis
Political
Insecurity and conflict may lead to unstable government. Lack of democratic stability,
crime levels will increase. With these challenges result public insecurity may encourage
more violence, vigilantism and authoritarian law enforcement to human rights in the
region.
Economic
Increased poverty due to the Economic crises, unsound fiscal policies and a reduction in
the size of the state sector will lead to an increase in poverty in many countries. The
Economic inequality could suffer the greatest disadvantages in wealth and education.
Poverty and war breakout will also be affected by unequal land distribution and high
unemployment.
Environmental
Frequent climate change and natural disasters. Such disasters pose a risk to political,
social and economic stability. The government could fail in to taking these problems
seriously.
Social
Increased insecurity of social factors and human rights violations will result from the
failure of traditional politics, the rise in criminality and the breakdown of state
18. protection systems (health, pensions, unemployment aid etc.). More people will be left
unprotected when ill and old.
Technological
Lack of access to resources for locals continues to provide many conflicts, and there is
likely to remain a deep technological divide. However, with the opening up and of the
media, there is a growing internal debate on the economic and political aspects.
Technological advances will amplify the effects of getting new donors and improve the
existing donors with a more pronounced digital divide. Like for instance direct mailing,
the tracking donor system (way of keeping in track of your donated gift).

20. Marketing
Planning Strategy
Marketing Planning Strategy
Partnering together to build op customer relations is the main subject here.
Partnering with other companies or organisations can help increase value to the both
companies/organisations.
Customer driven strategy
21. In todays market place the competitions is allot. Companies must collect customer’s attentions
and win them over. So they could keep them and grow by delivering the expected value.
By doing this company must understand the needs and wants of their customers.
And doing analysis can only do that
Market Segmentation
The different market segments are based on demographic and geographic.
Geographic: Young (pre)professionals.
Demographic: The network of the geographic group.
With help from students of the Universities we will initiate a micromarketing ad that would
circulate throughout the Benelux. Our aim is to attract a minimum of fifty to a hundred thousand
(50,000 – 100,000) Students in each Country within the First 3 years.
UNICEF is a well-known organization with a wide spread network across different 190 countries
so it is time to make use of this global network. To meet the obligations of this project we need
the assistance from the majority of volunteers, donors, partners and sponsors to make this
program a success.
Market Target
The students, teachers and employees at InHolland Universities.
Along side with followers of each group. (Students, teachers and employees).
Upon first glance one cannot ignore the similarities amongst these three countries and students
behaviour when they are geographically and demographically segmented, however geographic
and demographic segmentation do not predict how donors give.
Because donors are so loyal, fundraisers and activity programs ought to spend more time on
younger people who are less likely to have made decisions about which groups to support, the
researchers said. The study also identified six types of donors based on their motivations for
giving.
Differentiation and Positioning.
This type of working together is common; multiple forces working , collaborating together. But
such a big project with UNICEF and InHolland, both two big companies. Benefiting from this
collaborating.
The difference from this project is that if affect and reaches to the young target market directly
and much more efficient than in other ways. And that’s why this project has high potentials.
Marketing Mix
Price: the price in this case will be, the price for each activity.
Baring the fact that a large group of the target market are students, thus the prices will be
reasonably low in order to attract attention but also gain a large amount of donations.
For the event and food activities price will set. The other activities will be open and free.
Students can donate in any amount as they wish.
Place: This event will take place in Inholland university of Rotterdam (Netherlands). Both the
student
and school well be approached in these activities and invited to participate in this event. The
activities will be held from a central office based in InHolland Rotterdam.
By doing this it is expected to increase efficiency in reaching the student for participation in the
UNICEF goals.
Product: This project has the four activities as outcome, products. More information about the
project can be read further in the report. These activities are formed with the students and
towards the students of InHolland. In help of the Committee these products will set out to
certain dates and come to realisation.
22. Promotion: By collaborating with Inholland and UNICEF we make use of all resources provided
to us by them and our own.
We will also take advantage of our ability to broadcast to market these activeties through our
various platforms such as:
Website : www.inholland.nl/unicef
Also use of social media would be used through platforms such as:
YouTube
Facebook
MySpace
Twitter
With the help of UNICEF, advertisement tool will be used, for example posters, flyers etc.

23. The purpose of this Marketing strategy (table1) is to create a partnership between Inholland
Rotterdam and UNICEF by combining the visions and values of both organizations together, in
order to increase awareness and generate donations amongst students of Inholland university
Rotterdam. By establishing a UNICEF committee within Inholland Rotterdam consisting out of
Representative(s)of Inholland
Representative(s) of UNICEF
Committee members( Creators of the this whole project.)
Anticipated students
The Committee will be responsible for creating activities such as
International food day to generate donation for UNICEF to help children in Aghanistan with
Education and health .
Collecting cloths for children in Afghanistan.
Creating a entertainment day with Inholland Students.
Inholland UNICEF day.
We believe that throughout this activities we well be able to engulf students to participate in
our programs, to earn extra circular study points and perhaps more importantly, let the student
experience how it is to work for an Non-profit organization such as UNICEF and to See “Real –
life” results and the positive effect of their contribution by helping UNICEF with their mission.
And of course as well as to Achieve our objectives and goals.
What might this objectives (table 2) and goals (table 3) be :
Table 1 Goals for first year and Goals we are planing to reach within 3 years
By sending out the right message, this concept enables UNICEF to establish further participation
from the University community and will connect with them in an emotional and effective way.
The voices of Students can be a very powerful tool in delivering this message, using their
compassion and status to give other children a fair and reasonable life-perspective.
24. Raising awareness is a top priority in order to gain both financial and non-financial public
support, revealing the problems and providing enlightenment concerning the daily work
UNICEF executes confronting the problems. With the help of the media, schools and the Students
we will establish a stronger understanding and willingness to help UNICEF in its cause. Students
Interacting with the UNICEF committee is key in gaining their trust and finally to convert that
trust into devotion, participation and concrete actions towards our mission.
With that said we have strategically decided to implement this concept within Inholland
university of Rotterdam at first to research and develop it into a successful and a solid concept.
We are expecting to expend this concept further to other university within the “Benelux’’ in the
upcoming 3 years.
With help from students of the Universities we will initiate a micromarketing ad that would
circulate throughout the Benelux. Our aim is to attract a minimum of fifty to a hundred thousand
(50,000 – 100,000) Students in each Country within the First 3 years.
UNICEF is a well-known organization with a wide spread network across different 190 countries
so it is time to make use of this global network. To meet the obligations of this project we need
the assistance from the majority of volunteers, donors, partners and sponsors to make this
program a success.
Activeties
UNICEF Day
This event consists of a stand in an ‘’opendag’’ at Inholland Rotterdam, to provide information
about the partnership between Inholland Rotterdam and UNICEF. A representative from UNICEF
will be present to give speeches and to talk about the UNICEF at this day. There will be small
gifts available, such as pens and brochures. There will be also posters and small donation boxes
spread around the building, as well as flyers and cards, providing information about the other
three events (Food, Cloth and Entertainment).
The budget estimated for this activity is to be considered low or very low, since all we need are
copies of the flyers or cards, and the free pens and brochures for the students that are interested
to know more about UNICEF.
The objective of this event is to increase the awareness of the students about UNICEF, because
the students today are a the potential market tomorrow.
The International Food Day event.
Every day, a lot of food waste is thrown away, while people, including children die of starvation
and many places of the world. Since UNICEF is highly involved in contributing to the
development of the children around the planet, it is of extremely importance to make sure that
these children can have access to the basic nutrition needs for their survival and development.
In order to help to provide a proper and effective assistance, the UNICEF committee and several
Inholland students are supporting this idea to organize this event at Inholland Rotterdam. The
International Food Day will take place twice a year, in October (during the official International
Food Day) and one event in April, and will be held in the cantina at Inholland Rotterdam.
The main idea of this event is the UNICEF committee and the supporting Inholland students to
cook and bring several International dishes and sell them at Inholland Rotterdam, such as:
Turkish, Moroccan, Afghan, African, Western etc. In the end all the profit will be sent to UNICEF,
so they can provide support for the children in Afghanistan.
25. The cost for the International Food Day will be : € 300.- for renting cantina at Inholland
Rotterdam.
Clothes
Clothes play a major role when it is about any donation action. Donating clothes is one of
many ways to contribute to UNICEF to help the children around the world, especially in
countries that have a harsh winter, so they can be kept warm and comfortable.
When the Christmas is coming, it is, somehow, natural to have the spirit and the desire to help
others. So this event will achieve better results if it takes place in December, because of the
Christmas Spirit and the winter days being close.
A glass box or container will be available for the cloth donation. People will be able to put the
clothes in the box themselves, and also to look how is the progress going and how many
clothes have been donated. The box will be cleared on a daily basis for matter of hygiene, and
the donations will be inspected before sending to UNICEF.
In order to obtain a better result throughout this donation plan, a few rules must be put in
place.
All cloth sizes will be accepted, with no discrimination, however, baby to teenager sizes are
preferred.
Clothes with no or minimum damage only.
Personal cloth will not be accepted. For example, underwear.
Winter clothes are desired but all season clothes will be accepted, including gloves, socks,
winter hats and scarves.
About the costs for this event, there are 2 plans available. Basically what is necessary is just to
buy or rent (if that service is available) glass containers or boxes. The cost for all of this Cloth
Donation Event, is expected to be around €100,00 to €200,00.
A second plan can take action in case the budget is considered to be high. The Committee can
build, themselves, the required containers or boxes, and that would have low costs or even
free, if the materials used are recyclable.
UNICEF Entertainment day.
This event is going to be held in the first place to attract donors and donation, At this day a
Several famous Dutch people that are also UNICEF Ambassadors will be giving a speech, act or
performance in order to Attract people to visit the event. During this event also Students of
Inholland that have special talent or ability will do their part. There will be an entrance fee for
this even and all of this profit goes to UNICEF to help children in Afghanistan With their
educations and health.
The UNICEF committee and Inholland Student who offered their support to this Activity are
responsible for the following :
Search and book a Suitable place to held the event.
Invite UNICEF ambassadors to the Event to act or perform.
Invite Students and promote the Event.
The estimated cost for this event will be:
Rent of place € 300.00 - which well be sponsored by Inholland to the UNICEF committee.
26. Flyers and promoting of the event € 100.00- Sponsored By UNICEF Office of the Netherlands
Artist and Students: Free - (they will doing this to help a good cause.)
This Event will be held on 15th of June and would be also a great opportunity for us to talk
about the children in Afghanistan and make people aware of way is so imported to support
Organizations like UNICEF
CONCLUSION
The Situation Analysis is basically a tool for informing policy and child-focused policy rights.
The process of conducting a Situation Analysis provides specific policy recommendations and
evidence for child rights, including by partners. It is a programme output that strongly
supports national efforts and institutions. It is part of the UN’s overall effort to support
national capacity for promoting human development and fulfilling the human rights of
citizens. Today UNICEF is still committed to ensure special protection for the most
disadvantaged children; victims of war, disasters, extreme poverty, all forms of violence and
exploitation and those with disabilities.
