For every child, good health and growth in a sustainable environment The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens addressing inequity not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.

Essentially desert, the country has a low population density, with four inhabitants per square kilometer. Its population of 4.78 million is very young (about 52 per cent are under 19 years of age and 75 per cent under 35 years of age) and the majority (56 per cent1) lives in the country's major cities. The country, which has one of the largest refugee camps in the Sahel, is still experiencing the effects of the crisis in the subregion. Despite the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the crisis in Ukraine, Mauritania has been able to revive its economy and pursue its development objectives as defined in the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Shared Prosperity (SCAPP) 2016–2030 and the President's Expanded Priority Program, September 2020. Following contractions in 2020, economic growth has accelerated and was expected to reach 5.3 per cent in 2022. The country is not yet able to create enough jobs, especially for youth, nor to ensure redistributive growth and equitable access to public services. The poverty rate remains high (28.2 per cent in 2020), especially in rural areas (41.2 per cent, compared with 14.4 per cent in urban areas). Nearly 56.9 per cent of the population live below the multidimensional poverty line. Children are the poorest age group, with a 31 per cent rate of monetary poverty and an estimated 61.9 per cent rate of multidimensional poverty. Thirty-six per cent of 14–19-year-olds and 44 per cent of 20–24-year-olds are not in education, employment or training. There are still significant disparities between urban and rural areas, between rich and poor areas, and between regions. The 2024-2027 Country Program Management Plan (CPMP) considers (i) the results and trends of the updated analysis of the situation of children, (ii) the lessons learned from implementation of the 2018-2022 cooperation program and UNDAF (2018-2022), (iii) the main programmatic and managerial risks, and (iv) the estimated resources and means required to implement and achieve the strategies, objectives and results formulated. The new cooperation program cycle for Mauritania (2024-2027) is a real opportunity to induce the adjustments and prioritizations needed to continue unfinished work, consolidate achievements, and take up new challenges and those insufficiently considered for the realization of children's rights in line with the acceleration of the SDGs. To this end, the country program will contribute to achieving the priorities of the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Shared Prosperity (SCAPP) and the UNSDCF 2024-2027. It will pay particular attention to the equity dimension and the reduction of inequalities and discrimination and will contribute to national efforts to (i) localize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), (ii) take into account the recommendations of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), and (iii) the concluding observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child and the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.

For every child, peace UNICEF Syria was established in 1970 and has been working with partners to help empower children to fully claim and enjoy their rights under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF works with partners across Syria to deliver supplies, services, and expertise in areas of Child Protection, Education, Health, Nutrition, Water, Hygiene and Sanitation for every child. UNICEF also provides humanitarian assistance when needed. Syria continues to face one of the most complex emergencies in the world. Unprecedented humanitarian needs are compounded by displacement inside the country and across its borders, extensive destruction of civilian and social services infrastructure, devastating impacts on the economy, and most importantly, the breakdown of the social fabric that stitched the country together for decades. Today, 90% of people in Syria live in poverty, most are unable to make ends meet or bring food to the table. Families have had their resources depleted, with limited employment opportunities, skyrocketing prices, and shortage of basic supplies. For most people, the current socio-economic challenges represent some of the harshest and most challenging circumstances they have faced since the beginning of the crisis 11 years ago. In 2024, 16.7 million people need humanitarian assistance. This is the highest number of people in need ever recorded in Syria since 2011. The education sector identifies 7.2 million children and education personnel in need of assistance. This is largely due the ongoing conflict, continued displacements, the unprecedented economic crisis, and deepening poverty. The impact of the earthquakes in 2023 and the hike in price of commodities triggered by the overall global economic situation and the impact of sanctions are further compounding the dire situation.
