Situation and Challenges
In 2025, UNICEF executed a 15-million-dollar programme in Guinea-Bissau, bringing the cumulative expenditure of the Country Programme to over 43 million dollars since 2022. Additionally, nearly 7 million dollars in procurement services were facilitated, strengthening the availability of essential goods and national supply chain systems.
How We Work
UNICEF works through Government-led structures, prioritizing integrated approaches that link service delivery with system strengthening and community engagement. Equity, inclusion, and the use of evidence are cross-cutting principles across all programming.
Partnerships and Coordination
UNICEF collaborates with the Government, civil society organizations, United Nations agencies, donors, and community partners. In 2025, this coalition made it possible to reach hundreds of thousands of children and families, including those in the most remote communities. Cross-sectoral coordination was reinforced through joint planning, monitoring, and evaluation mechanisms.
Transparency and Accountability
UNICEF supported Guinea-Bissau's participation in the 2025 Open Budget Survey, promoting budget transparency and public accountability. Financial management and accountability for results are ensured through verification and audit mechanisms applied to all implementing partners.
Emergency Preparedness and Continuous Learning
UNICEF trained 100 government technicians and partners in emergency preparedness and response, an increasing priority in a country that ranks 4th globally on UNICEF's Children's Climate Risk Index. South-South exchanges with Cabo Verde and Burkina Faso generated lessons on governance models and delivery systems, contributing to adaptive programming oriented toward sustainable results.
