UNICEF's Programme for Children 2024-2028
Today, only 78% of children are enrolled in primary school, less than 40% are using basic drinking water and 20% are using basic sanitation facilities, while 23% of girls are married before the age of 18.
UNICEF Gambia's vision for 2024-2028 is to see accelerated and holistic progress in the attainment of every right, for every child. We apply a life-cycle approach to ensure every child in The Gambia is able to survive, thrive, learn, be protected and be free from poverty.

The sustainability of our interventions depends on fostering an inclusive, responsive, and resilient environment where children and adolescents can flourish.
At the center of UNICEF Gambia’s Programme for children and adolescents are four Drivers of Change, which collectively unlock these desired outcomes.
