Mission

Para la promoción y cumplimiento de estos Objetivos, UNICEF en América Latina y el Caribe, ha identificado 7 prioridades en sus Planes Estratégicos de Trabajo:

1. Supervivencia y desarrollo del niño pequeño
2. Educación básica e igualdad entre los géneros
3. VIH/SIDA y la infancia
4. Protección frente a la violencia, la explotación y el abuso
5. Promoción de políticas y alianzas a favor de los derechos del niño
6. Desarrollo adolescente
7. Poblaciones excluidas

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
