Tbilisi, Georgia. 16 February 2026. The UNICEF Executive Board has officially approved the new Country Programme Document (CPD) 2026-2030 for Georgia, marking a significant milestone in the partnership between the Government of Georgia and UNICEF to advance the rights and well-being of every child in the country.
Developed on the basis of the Situation Analysis of Children and Adolescent Rights in Georgia and informed by an extensive, inclusive consultation process involving government institutions, civil society, development partners, academia, and children themselves, the new programme reaffirms a shared national and international commitment to ensure that every child in Georgia is healthy, protected and develops to their full potential.
Aligned with national priorities and the 2026-2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, the CPD focuses on two priority areas for children in Georgia-multidimensional child poverty and violence against children.
Through four interconnected outcome areas - Health and Nutrition, Learning and Skills Development, Child Protection, and Social Policy and Child Rights Monitoring - the new programme aims to strengthen essential systems, improve equitable access to quality services, and support vulnerable children across the country.
The 2026-2030 programme emphasizes strong national ownership and builds on UNICEF’s longstanding partnerships with line ministries, Parliament, municipalities, the Public Defender’s Office, civil society, academia, and the private sector. It also reinforces UNICEF’s ongoing commitment to confidence‑building and service delivery for conflict‑affected populations.
With the approval of the Executive Board, UNICEF and the Government of Georgia will move forward with renewed momentum to create opportunities, reduce disparities, and ensure that no child is left behind.
