Book Synopsis UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) by : Richard Jolly
Download or read book UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) written by Richard Jolly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of UNICEF’s development and operations, whilst exploring the significance of UNICEF’s achievements and the reasons behind them. UNICEF is one of the best known organizations of the United Nations system and the oldest of the UN’s development funds. It is also the part of the UN which consistently receives support from all countries round the world, including the United States. This book brings out the wider reasons for UNICEF’s success and popularity, setting them in the context of UNICEF’s evolution since 1946 and drawing lessons for other international organizations. The book argues that, despite its problems, international action for children, built substantially on non-economic foundations, is not only possible, but can be highly successful in mobilizing support, producing results and making a difference to the lives of millions of children. This will be of great interest to all scholars of international organisations, development, human rights and the United Nations system.

Book Synopsis The Origins of UNICEF, 1946–1953 by : Jennifer M. Morris
Download or read book The Origins of UNICEF, 1946–1953 written by Jennifer M. Morris and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origins of UNICEF traces the history of the founding of the world’s most well-known and often controversial relief aid organization for children. UNICEF modeled itself after several national organizations as well as some of the early twentieth-century transnational and international relief aid organizations, catering to a clientele that many observers claimed would be impossible to resist or ignore. In only a few years, UNICEF’s programs provided relief aid to millions of children in locations around the globe, but the atmosphere of post-war cooperation, quickly supplanted by Cold War tensions, caused UNICEF’s efforts to be scrutinized lest they be too closely aligned with either the United States or the Soviet Bloc. UNICEF remains one of the most highly regarded and effective child relief-aid organizations in the world. The story of its founding and its first years as an aid organization provide insight into how an international, apolitical, philanthropic organization must maneuver through political and cultural tensions in order to achieve its goal of mitigating human suffering.
Download or read book UNICEF Annual Report 2001 written by and published by UNICEF. This book was released on 2001 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UNICEF is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs, and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. This report details the accomplishments and activities of UNICEF for the year 2000. The report begins with a timeline describing major accomplishments from 1990 to 2000 and the mission statement. The overview statement from the executive director pledges that UNICEF will continue to build partnerships dedicated to mobilizing the resources necessary to realize children's rights and meet their basic needs. The report next describes the Global Movement for Children as a coalition of governments, United Nations agencies, nongovernmental organizations, private sector and community groups, and families and children who are dedicated to improving children's lives. The accomplishments of UNICEF in 2000 are then detailed, including implementing immunization programs, improving access to education, providing children and adolescents with opportunities for participation in community life, and using media to reinforce health messages to children and adolescents and inform them of their rights. The report describes programs in partnership with the corporate community and delineates international celebrity spokespersons. Information is included on UNICEF's income (by source of funding) for each nation and agency. The report also delineates expenditures by sector, noting that 40 percent of expenditures are for child health and 18 percent for education. The funds targeted for particular programs are listed by program. The report concludes with contact information for various UNICEF committees. (KB)
Book Synopsis Best of UNICEF Research 2015 by : UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre
Download or read book Best of UNICEF Research 2015 written by UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre and published by United Nations. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Best of UNICEF Research, now in its third year, showcases and recognizes high-quality, high-impact research being done in the organization. The intention of the project is to communicate that UNICEF is often engaged in supporting a range of cutting-edge research to improve the lives of children. Yet this is often poorly known. The ‘Best of UNICEF Research’ initiative aims to change this perception. This publication presents summaries of twelve of the projects submitted to the 2015 Best of UNICEF Research competition which illustrate the range of research being undertaken. The 12 projects in the final selection cover many of the ‘traditional’ areas of UNICEF work (health, nutrition, sanitation and education), while also highlighting issues that have more recently gained prominence within the global policy agenda, such as social transfers, violence against children and school bullying, and various forms of inequality or exclusion

Download or read book Singapore and UNICEF written by Peggy Kek and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-01-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singapore's well-documented economic progress since independence owes a big debt to the initial investment that the nation made in raising the nutrition, hygiene, health and education standards of its children. In the early days the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) provided some assistance. The relationship has evolved as Singapore's socioeconomic circumstances improved. Educated and qualified Singaporeans themselves were recruited into the ranks of UNICEF international staff, and left their home country to work on programmes for vulnerable children in developing countries throughout the world. As Singapore celebrates its Golden Jubilee in 2015 and UNICEF looks forward to its 70th anniversary in 2016, Singapore and UNICEF: Working for Children takes a timely look at their past collaborative efforts to advance the rights of the child and help children realise their full potential. Although UNICEF has collaborated with many partner institutions and individuals in Singapore over the past few decades, little has been documented and not all in one publication. The lively essays, candid interviews and first-hand accounts in this volume provide meaningful reflections on the history of the relationship and insights into UNICEF's work and its involvement with diverse parts of Singapore society. Written by several former UNICEF staff, consultants and volunteers, this book will appeal to all who are interested in development, human rights, civil society and the work of a UN humanitarian agency.Contents: Message by Ambassador Tommy Koh Foreword by Daniel Toole Preface Acknowledgements Introduction: Singapore and UNICEF Working for Children (Peggy Kek and Penny Whitworth) A Brief History of UNICEF in Singapore (Peggy Kek) Singaporeans in Action: UNICEF in the Field: Improving Children's Lives in Laos (Ng Shui-Meng with Peggy Kek) From Singapore to Mongolia and Romania: Taking Early Childhood Development Further with UNICEF (Khoo Kim Choo) From Italy to Vietnam: Two Very Different UNICEF Operations (Peggy Kek) The Power of a Little Trust and Credit (Ng Shui-Meng with Peggy Kek) "Chatting With My Best Friend": Fighting HIV-AIDS in Nepal (Cheng Wing-Sie with Peggy Kek) Emergency Mode in Timor-Leste (Ng Shui-Meng with Peggy Kek) UNICEF Internationals in Action: UNICEF in Singapore: Singapore Impressions (Karsten Sohns) From Geneva to Singapore: Sales Support to National Partners (Penny Whitworth) A Swede in Singapore (Per-Olov Lennartsson with Penny Whitworth) My Journey to Singapore with UNICEF (Jackie Leung) Volunteer Action in Singapore: Civil Society: A Special Relationship (Penny Whitworth) Not All Business (Tony Coker) Breastfeeding Mother's Support Group (Singapore) and UNICEF (Lynette Thomas) Miracle on 34th Street: UNICEF and Dreams Coming True (Kenneth Tan) A Christmas to Remember (Carolyn Tay) Inspired by UNICEF (Simon Fenley) The Art of Giving (Penny Whitworth) Reflections: From Academic to Development Worker (Ng Shui-Meng with Peggy Kek) From Journalist to HIV-AIDS Adviser (Cheng Wing-Sie with Peggy Kek) For the Children I Came to Know (Peggy Kek) A Practice to Build On (Penny Whitworth) Appendix Convention on the Rights of the Child About the Editors Selected Bibliography Readership: For general readers who are interested in the field of human development; educators; active members of civil society.Key Features: The book employs a distinct examination of Singapore's engagement with a UN agency, presenting a wide range of individual perspectives not usually available It is highly readable.
