Impact Brief 2025
Accelerating results for every child
Highlights
In a year marked by global geopolitical instability, UNICEF Office of Innovation doubled down on the strategic approach to identify, adapt and scale transformative solutions that improve the lives of children and their communities. By the end of 2024, we reached 38 million people directly with 61 initiatives delivered across 118 countries.
With a possibility-led approach to innovation grounded in curiosity, we continue to co-create with partners and communities. Whether advancing digital learning, scaling fem tech or decentralizing humanitarian supply chains, we focus on refining, validating and growing solutions that respond to the evolving needs of children.
Innovation at UNICEF is more than a set of tools. It is a mindset. With a global network of collaborators — from governments and youth to investors and entrepreneurs — we are transforming systems and helping shape a better future for every child.
Impact Brief 2025 captures how we are turning disruption into opportunity, using frontier technologies, sustainable finance and strategic partnerships to drive impact for this and coming generations.
