Small island developing states and territories face common challenges in several areas including climate change, natural disasters, tourism, management of wastes, land resources and science and technology, all identified in the Barbados Programme of Action endorsed by 111 governments in 1994. In these areas, UNICEF, in partnership with others, focuses on child survival, education, child protection, adolescent development and HIV/AIDS. This publication, available in PDF format only, provides a regional mapping of the situation of children in small island developing states and territories, including key indicators of their well-being, and outlines recent UNICEF-supported actions towards their sustainable development.
