Annual Report 2019
UNICEF Afghanistan
Highlights
For more than 70 years UNICEF has been working tirelessly to protect the children of the world and safeguard their futures. For the last forty years, Afghanistan has been suffering from the impacts of war and natural disasters, limiting the access of children, adolescents and women to the services they need to fulfil their right to survival, protection and participation. In these trying times, UNICEF Afghanistan is determined to support government and communities to reach girls and boys, regardless of geographical location or socioeconomic status, with the services they so desperately need. Due to the unique context of Afghanistan, UNICEF has focused its work on bridging the links between humanitarian and development assistance to ensure no child is left behind. With renewed vigor and dedication, UNICEF Afghanistan directed its efforts in 2019 to meet the following goals:
• Every child survives and is in good health and fully immunized
• Every child thrives with access to adequate nutrition
• Every child learns and is able to access school regardless of circumstance
• Every child is protected from violence and exploitation
• Every child lives in a safe and clean environment, with access to safe drinking water & sanitation
• Every child has an equitable chance at life, regardless of gender or circumstance
