UNICEF’s work in Turkmenistan
In the next five years, UNICEF Turkmenistan will support the Government of Turkmenistan in meeting its commitment to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) as pledged in Turkmenistan’s National Plan of Action for Realization of the Rights of the Child (NPAC). The UNICEF Country Programme 2021 – 2025 will respond to all three strategic priorities of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF).
