National Committees for UNICEF

The National Committees are an integral part of UNICEF’s global organization and a unique feature of UNICEF. Currently there are National Committees in thirty-seven countries in the industrialized world, each established as an independent local non-governmental organization.

UNICEF is funded exclusively by voluntary contributions, and the National Committees collectively raise around one-third of UNICEF's annual income. This comes through contributions from corporations, civil society organizations and more than 6 million individual donors worldwide. They also rally many different partners – including the media, national and local government officials, NGOs, specialists such as doctors and lawyers, corporations, schools, young people and the general public – on issues related to children’s rights.

UNICEF is grateful to the following National Committees which raised funds for its interventions during the 2005 earthquake emergency response and recovery phase:
