    Background
    UNICEF is the UN organization mandated to protect the rights of
    every child, everywhere, especially the most disadvantaged, and is
    the only organization specifically named in the Convention on the Rights of
    the Child as a source of expert assistance and advice. UNICEF is committed
    to giving every child in the Region a fair chance to be healthy,
    educated, protected and included. They support children who are
    affected by humanitarian crises, and mitigate the impact of natural disasters.
    They provide solid evidence on what works in the best interests of children.

    Objectives
    1. Ensure all children learn - from mounting temporary learning
    centers, to providing educational materials including internet
    connections & devices;
    2. Guarantee access to nutrition & health services. They work hard
    to make vaccines affordable & available to every child;
    3. Support and protect the mental health of children & young
    people. They are committed in bringing an end to abuse, gender-
    based violence, & neglect in childhood;
    4. Increase access to safe drinking water, sanitation, & hygiene,
    including addressing environmental degradation and climate change;
    5. Reverse the rise in child poverty, because they believe that no
    child deserves to live in hunger, fear, and homelessness, they strive to
    help ensure an inclusive recovery for all;
    6. Protect and support children and their families living through
    conflict, disaster, & displacement.
    :
    UNICEF is committed to ensuring special protection for the most
    disadvantaged children – victims of war, disasters, extreme poverty, all
    forms of violence and exploitation, and those with disabilities. UNICEF
    responds in emergencies to protect the rights of children.

    Challenges that it has encountered in the Philippines


    Apart from high rates of stunting and neonatal deaths, low routine
    immunization coverage and lack of access to clean water and sanitation
    facilities also threaten children’s survival and development in the Philippines.
    This is exacerbated by natural disasters and climate change that impact one
    of the most disaster-prone countries in the world.
    Children who do make it past their fifth birthday face an uncertain future.
    During adolescence, children are faced with various challenges that impede
    their health and well-being. Teenage pregnancy, HIV infections, and violence
    are a few of the threats they face. For the last years, UNICEF encountered
    these problems: sustainable development deficits, persistent humanitarian
    crises and fragility, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and
    environmental crises and climate change.
