UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children's lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.

We pride ourselves on a culture that helps staff thrive, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package. Visit our website to learn more about what we do at UNICEF. For every child, Education 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. UNICEF started operation in Cambodia in 1952 and opened first country office in 1973 in Phnom Penh.

The Programme aims to strengthen the education system to address school drop-out and poor learning outcomes, focusing on vulnerable girls and boys.

Background Local civil society organisations (CSOs) play a crucial role in Papua New Guinea in conveying the voices of the rural population and their needs to key decision-makers. Larger organisations based in the capital Port Moresby or other urban centers generally have little experience with and connections to marginalized people and are therefore restricted in authentically representing their interests.

It is one of the few local training and advisory institutions in the social and development sector, catering to both young individuals and adults.
