UNICEF Bolivia country programme 2008 - 2012
UNICEF works within the framework of five-year cooperation programs which have been agreed to and signed with the Bolivian Government. In order to implement them, UNICEF joins Bolivian government institutions, non-governmental organizations, social organizations, and the private sector.
At present, the 2008 – 2012 cooperation program is in the process of implementation. Its purpose is to contribute so that in each stage of their lives Bolivian boys, girls, and adolescents can survive, grow, and develop their capacities within an inclusive framework, with respect for cultural diversity and gender equality.
- In early childhood, between 0 and 5 years of age, the program will contribute to children being registered, well-fed, and healthy, also so that they can develop their physical, cognitive, and emotional potential.
- During childhood, it will contribute so that boys and girls between 6 and 13 years of age can complete their basic education (both initial and primary) in conditions of good quality and cultural relevance.
- During adolescence, considering it lasts from 12 to 18 years of age, the program will contribute so adolescents can avail themselves of possibilities to receive education for life, and so that they have skills, opportunities, and are empowered to exert their rights, and have protection against any kind of violence, mistreatment, and exploitation.
