UNICEF Gulf Area Office Corporate partnerships
Leveraging commitments and resources for children.
Corporate Partnerships
As part of the engagement strategy underpinning the development of the 2019–2023 programme, Gulf States have endorsed the UNICEF strategic partnership, expanded presence and programme of cooperation for children.
Our partnerships programme is geared towards leveraging commitments and resources for children.
This objective has three distinct and mutually reinforcing elements:
- Strengthen the UNICEF strategic partnerships with all five States to advance child rights in the Gulf, the MENA region and globally;
- Advocate for optimal public financing for children, and leverage existing government social protection expenditure to focus on the most vulnerable children;
- Strengthen existing partnerships and develop new ones to mobilize commitments and resources for children in the Gulf, the MENA region and globally.
Support from corporate and business partners keeps us going
For more than 50 years, UNICEF has recognized the critical role of the private sector in achieving sustainable change for children. We work closely with multi-national corporations, national companies and small- to medium-sized businesses to identify, design and implement partnerships that leverage the strengths of the corporate sector on behalf of the world’s children, especially the most vulnerable.
