UNICEF Executive Board
Introduction
The Executive Board is UNICEF’s governing body. Its 36 members, operating by consensus, are responsible for overseeing UNICEF’s activities and for approving its policies, country programmes and budgets. The Executive Board’s work is coordinated by the Bureau – the President and four Vice-Presidents – who represent the five regional groups of Member States at the United Nations (Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean and Western Europe and other States).
In 2008, the Executive Board will hold three sessions:
Joint meeting of the UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF and WFP Executive Boards - 25 and 28 January
First regular session – 29 January - 1 February
Annual session - 3-6 June
Second regular session - 15-17 September
At the second regular session of each year, the Executive Board approves its programme of work for the following year. Based on that programme, prior to each session the UNICEF secretariat prepares reports to facilitate the Board’s discussion of each agenda item. These reports are issued as official documents of the United Nations.
