This book provides an in-depth analysis of UNICEF’s development and operations, whilst exploring the significance of UNICEF’s achievements and the reasons behind them. UNICEF is one of the best known organizations of the United Nations system and the oldest of the UN’s development funds. It is also the part of the UN which consistently receives support from all countries round the world, including the United States. This book brings out the wider reasons for UNICEF’s success and popularity, setting them in the context of UNICEF’s evolution since 1946 and drawing lessons for other international organizations. The book argues that, despite its problems, international action for children, built substantially on non-economic foundations, is not only possible, but can be highly successful in mobilizing support, producing results and making a difference to the lives of millions of children. This will be of great interest to all scholars of international organisations, development, human rights and the United Nations system.

UNICEF was created by the United Nations in 1946 as a special agency to help the children of postwar Europe. In 1953, UNICEF became a more permanent program of the UN. By treating preventable diseases, preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS, helping children obtain a basic education, protecting children from violence and abuse, and keeping the spotlight on the rights of children, UNICEF tries to make the world a better place. Yet, enormous challenges remain, such as making sure that governments respect children's rights and provide resources for children.
