10. UNICEF in India
 UNICEF's partnership with India began in 1949. Its first office was established in New Delhi in 1952.
 The nodal agency in India for interacting with UNICEF is the GOI's Ministry of Women and Child
Development.
 Currently, UNICEF works in 17 states with more than 400 staff members.
 UNICEF has been very active in India in the past many decades.
 Most of their work in the country is by partnering with the government in the implementation of the various
governmental schemes.
 Though initially, the organization focused on providing medicines, equipment and supplies, currently, it
contributes in many broad areas such as providing low-cost, nutritionally balanced food products from locally
available food sources; giving training to personnel engaged in child-care projects, sanitation, water supply,
health and family planning; and evolving simplified basic-educational kits, specially in the field of science and
technology.
Conts….

11.  UNICEF's priority in India is children in the age group 0-5 years since most deaths happen within this group. For this,
UNICEF seeks to work with mothers and ensure they have access to adequate nutrition and healthcare.
 A second area of priority is to focus on vulnerable areas like slums, backward remote areas, drought or flood-prone
areas, etc.
 Another important point is, India is among the top donors to UNICEF.
 A problem encountered in the functioning of UNICEF in the country is that since it works in tandem with government
schemes, the execution is sluggish in pace.

12.  The plan will help realize and protect the rights of all children through five goal
areas, which are linked to both the Sustainable Development Goals and the
Convention on the Rights of the Child.
 Every child survives and thrives
 Every child learn
 Every child is protected from violence and exploitation
 Every child lives in a safe and clean environment
 Every child has an equitable chance in life.
