Description

"UNICEF faces a problem of identity. What is its target group: children? Or also mothers? Or women in general? Following the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, UNICEF is now 'guided' by the Convention. Has it become a human rights institution? Should it continue its successful operational activities or be content with advocacy?". "As another challenge, UNICEF has to cooperate with other organizations such as WHO, ILO, UNFPA, WFP and numerous NGOs. This has created conflicts and requires a change of attitudes." "Finally, UNICEF may need to refocus some of its programmes in order to improve use of its decreasing resources."--BOOK JACKET.
