UNICEF's work in Oman
Over recent decades, the Sultanate of Oman has made significant gains in child well‑being, with near‑universal access to education, health care and essential services. In alignment with Vision 2040, the Government of Oman and UNICEF are implementing a country programme to further improve education quality, support youth transition to employment, strengthen child protection and social inclusion, promote better nutrition practices, and expand early childhood and disability services.
"Our Vision is to empower all children and adolescents in Oman to realize their rights, thrive, and contribute to national development"
The country programme targets two critical developmental stages—early childhood and adolescence—supported by cross‑cutting lifecycle interventions.
Expand access to quality early learning, health, nutrition and care services, while equipping parents and caregivers with practical knowledge,
skills and tools to support children’s healthy development, well-being and learning during their critical early years.
Build future-ready skills, including digital literacy and green-economy knowledge, while engaging young people in climate action, innovation and community initiatives, and promoting adolescent health, mental well-being, healthy nutrition and active participation in their communities.
Strengthen child-sensitive social protection and improve access to services and financial support for children with disabilities, while reinforcing integrated child protection through digitalization, workforce development and programmes to prevent and respond to violence and neglect.
