Created by the United Nations General Assembly in 1946 to help children after World War II in Europe, UNICEF was first known as the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. In 1953, UNICEF became a permanent part of the United Nations system, its task being to help children living in poverty in developing countries. Its name was shortened to the United Nations Children's Fund, but it retained the acronym "UNICEF," by which it is known to this day.

Voluntarily funded, it provides expert advice, training, and limited equipment to developing countries, with increasing emphasis on assistance to the poorest countries. UNDP is also one of several Implementing Agencies for the Globel Environment Facility ( GEF The Global Environment Facility (GEF), established by donor governments in 1991 to pre-empt politically more radicaly alternative models of conservation finance proposed at the Rio Earth Summit, helps developing countries fund projects and programs that are claimed to protect the global environment. GEF grants support projects related to biodiversity, climate change, international waters, land degradation, the ozone layer, and persistent organic pollutants. Unfortunately, the reality is often very different from the brochures, primarily because the GEF is run from the World Bank, and is structurally unable to a. listen to affected people and scientists on the ground in the Third World nor b. challenge the casino capitalist 'logic' of its parent agency.

Established by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946 and originally known as the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), the UN Children's Fund has employed three approaches in discharging its mandate.* For the postwar period 1946 to 1950, the "emergency needs approach" meant swift action to meet the food, clothing, and health needs of children, particularly in Europe. At an expenditure of $112,000,000, UNICEF distributed various articles of clothing to five million children in twelve countries, vaccinated eight million against tuberculosis, rebuilt milk processing and distribution facilities, and, at the climax of its effort in Europe, provided a daily supplementary meal to millions of children. During the period 1951-1960, UNICEF continued to meet emergency needs, but at the same time moved into the long-range benefit approach. To protect the health of children, UNICEF conducted campaigns against tuberculosis, yaws, leprosy, and malaria; made provisions for environmental sanitation; encouraged maternal and child health care education. To raise nutritional standards for children, UNICEF helped countries produce and distribute low-cost, high-protein foods and fostered programs to educate people in their use. To provide for the social welfare of children, UNICEF instituted informal training of mothers in child rearing and home improvement, aided services for children through day-care and neighborhood centers, family counseling, and youth clubs. The expenditures totalled $150,000,000.

United Nations Children's Fund A child receives a tuberculosis vaccine at a school in Bulacan province, Philippines, c. 1952. The medical equipment and laboratory supplies were provided by UNICEF. UNICEF/ICEF-2539 formerly (1946-53) UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S EMERGENCY FUND (UNICEF), special program of the United Nations devoted to aiding national efforts to improve the health, nutrition, education, and general welfare of children. UNICEF was created in December 1946 to provide relief to children in countries devastated by World War II. After 1950 the fund's efforts were directed toward general programs for the improvement of children's welfare, particularly in less-developed countries as well as those in various emergency situations. The change in the organization's name to the United Nations Children's Fund reflected this shift in function. UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1965. Much of UNICEF's effort has been in fields in which relatively small expenditures could have a significant impact on the lives of children, such as the prevention and treatment of certain diseases and the distribution of surplus food. Other activities to which UNICEF contributes include the development of health services and the training of health personnel, the construction of educational facilities and the training of teachers, and the extension of other welfare services. The activities are financed by both government and private voluntary contributions. Headquarters are in New York City.

Reproductive Health/Safe Motherhood Ensuring safe motherhood is a priority for UNICEF, both as a partner in the global Safe Motherhood Initiative and through its mandate to help realise the rights, well-being and full potential of all children, adolescents and women. UNICEF is strengthening its efforts to promote safe motherhood by helping build "mother-friendly societies" through four key actions: applying the provisions of human rights instruments to safe motherhood; encouraging governments to make sustained social investments; helping establish women-friendly health services; and making communities mother friendly.

UNICEF cooperates with national governments, non-governmental organisations and other United Nations agencies in 161 countries and territories. The 37 National Committees for UNICEF, mostly in the industrialised world, are non-governmental organisations that support UNICEF in advocacy for children and fund raising.
