UNICEF Support to National Governments
UNICEF works with governments in over 190 countries and territories to advance efforts and programs focused on helping children to grow up safe, healthy and educated. UNICEF's support to national governments advances self-reliance by helping to build and strengthen resilient, sustainable local systems for areas such as health, education, and social protection. Some specific UNICEF services and platforms of interest include programs associated with 'Generation Unlimited' including Passport To Earning, Learning Passport, and Yoma; Giga initiatives focused on supporting communities with software and content, broadband connectivity, and digital financial services; and publicly available data and evidence focused on new and emerging areas of interest to governments and partners around the world.
