Artificial Intelligence offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals — but only if it’s developed responsibly and inclusively. That’s why UNICEF has worked with Accenture to design a comprehensive AI strategy that harnesses the power of technology to: ✅Strengthen programme impact and humanitarian response ✅Improve operational efficiency and effectiveness ✅Ensure children’s rights and voices are represented in global AI governance. From predictive analytics for early crisis response to AI-driven workforce planning, this collaboration is helping UNICEF to use AI ethically and effectively — building a safer, more equitable digital future for every child. 💡Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ej--T9HT #ForEveryChild #TechnologyforGood

Hurricane Melissa has left a trail of devastation across the Caribbean, leaving 1.6 million children at risk. Torrential rain, powerful winds, and landslides have destroyed homes, flooded communities, and cut off essential services. The storm swept through Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, and the Bahamas, causing widespread destruction. Jamaica was directly hit by the hurricane, its strongest in nearly 50 years. The Government has declared a national disaster, and more than 280,000 children urgently need assistance. UNICEF has mobilised rapidly to deliver life-saving assistance for children and families in most urgent need. Across the Caribbean, UNICEF is assessing needs, working with governments and acting rapidly to help children and families recover. Your help is vital. Donate to our fundraiser today to support children impacted by this devastating hurricane.

"We want to drive change, but we couldn't have done what we've done without partnerships like the one with UNICEF. It's not just about awareness, but also about deep impact." Marcela Melero, Chief Growth Officer, Dove. Susanne Dahl, Secretary General at UNICEF Danmark was joined by leading voices across the business sector such as Dove's Marcela Melero at #UNGA to discuss how we can all work together to deepen our collective impact for children. We know that when we work together, we can deliver lasting systemic change for children. Today, creating social impact is not only good for business, it is essential. As many children around the world face ongoing crises, our strength is our ability to work collaboratively. Now is the time for us to catalyse bold ideas, use advances in technology, invest in systemic change and bridge the gap between vision and sustainable outcomes. Children will not get what they need without a fundamental shift in how the world finances their futures and steps up to defend their rights. Join us, together we can create bigger impact for every child. A special thanks to our UK partners for joining us at UNGA80: Accenture, Unilever, Deloitte and AstraZeneca.

The UK Government has said it’s committed to giving every child the best start in life – and has promised action on child poverty.    Following a sector-wide campaigning push at Labour Party Conference, we’ve seen the strongest signs yet that the Government will act on ending the harmful two-child limit in next month’s Autumn Budget.    See what we got up to on the streets of Liverpool during the conference ⬇️    There have, however, been recent worrying reports that the Government will only alter the policy - not scrap it altogether.     In line with its commitment to the UNCRC, the Government must put the best interests of the child at the heart of its decision on the two-child limit. This means scrapping the two-child limit in full, for every affected child.    Every child deserves the best start in life – not just the first two in a family.    #EarlyMomentsMatter #AllKidsCount @Endchildpoverty

Waad and Naseem share how learning resilience and recovery techniques has helped them manage the lingering fears left behind by two years of trauma.

Every year, over 400 million children receive the polio vaccine - and their purple pinky finger is how vaccinators know they’ve had their dose.   This #WorldPolioDay, we’re marking the fact that more than 20 million people today can walk because they were protected from polio.

"Entire communities are surviving in conditions that defy dignity. Children are malnourished, exposed to violence, and at risk of dying from preventable diseases." 📺Watch now: Ted Chaiban, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director, speaking to Sky News on the escalating humanitarian crisis in Sudan: https://lnkd.in/ee5FRgzw

Gender lens investing has the power to close the critical financing gap for women and girls.   Women and girls represent half of the world’s population (or 4.1 billion) and half of its potential, yet they have been historically underrepresented in innovation and research. Recent data paints a stark picture of what it means to be a twenty-first century woman and girl and highlights the urgent need for investment in solutions.   Join UNICEF UK and SAGANA for a dynamic workshop, exploring how capital and UNICEF's Venture Fund drive innovative, FemTech solutions.    Hear from leading voices including Raya Papp, Founding Partner at Sagana; Milena Bacalja Perianes, Senior Consulting Director at Sagana; Patty Alleman, Catalytic Partnerships lead, and Hanna Burkhardt, Head of Venture Fund, both from UNICEF Innovation.    📆 Thursday 6 November 2025 12:30 - 14:45 The Conduit Club, London.   👉 Join us if you have an interest in gender lens investing, FemTech innovations, or women’s health investments - please RSVP to [email protected] as soon as possible, as places are limited.   ⬇️Pictured is Tagreed Hussein, a 12-year-old displaced girl, from Sana’a. She’s so excited to be back at school and learning again. Tagreed said: “I felt bored at home and I wanted to go to school. I only want to study and I don't want anything else, because learning is the most beautiful thing in life for me.”
