Highlights
The year 2019 was a challenging year for India's children and for UNICEF, but it was also a uniquely rewarding one! In 2019, UNICEF continued to work in 17 States and two Union Territories, with some 450 staff members, making it the UN agency with the largest field presence, reaching an estimated 450 million children and young people.
This 2019 annual report shares the highlights of our results and activities, conducted with our partners and with the support of our donors. Together in 2019 we also celebrated the 30 years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) along with 70 years of UNICEF in India.
As we look back at our achievements over the past year and indeed the past seven decades, we look back not at the progress that we made as UNICEF, but also at the incredible progress that India has made to promote and advance child rights.
It is also the moment to celebrate and applaud the true heroes who have significantly contributed towards this success – the Anganwadi workers who ensure that services reach children in remote villages, the midwives who are on call, around the clock, to assist pregnant women with safe deliveries, the health workers who brave inclement weather to get vaccines to children, the teachers who sign up to work in the most challenging schools, the young girls who stood their ground and chose school over marriage and many more.
