UNICEF Oman's Partnership with Civil Society

Since 2018, the Office has had a partnership agreement in place with Children First Association (CFA), a local non-governmental organisation. UNICEF and CFA have held a number of successful joint activities which have raised awareness about child rights in Oman. UNICEF and CRF collaborated extensively in 2019 to ensure that Oman’s Voluntary National Review (VNR) to showcase its progress towards of all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)  was child friendly and child inclusive. Activities included a workshop on the SDGs for children between the ages of 8 and 14 – including those with disabilities – with the aim of  increasing  children’s understanding of the SDGs in addition to extensive digital engagement.
