Highlights

For the children we serve, digital isn't the future—it's their present. They're growing up in a world of rapid technological change that brings both extraordinary opportunities as well as new risks.

This digital transformation strategy charts our path forward. With Agenda 2030's ambitious targets ahead, we must accelerate our digital journey and harness digital technologies—including AI—responsibly and at scale to achieve results for children. The strategy, which serves to unite our staff, partners and beneficiaries around a shared vision, is part of our roadmap to deliver real change for children—faster, smarter and more effectively.

Notably, digital transformation is no longer optional, it's the backbone of 21^st century humanitarian work and essential to advancing children's rights worldwide. The task is significant. The opportunity is greater. Together, we can ensure every child is empowered, protected and able to thrive in the digital age.
