For every child, sustenance

The humanitarian and operational context in Venezuela continues to be characterized by high levels of complexity and structural fragility, with persistent challenges in access to basic services, food security, health, protection, and human mobility. These challenges disproportionately affect children, adolescents, and women, limiting community coping capacities and requiring sustained preparedness and a highly coordinated humanitarian response.

UNICEF has a strong, established operational presence in Venezuela, with long-standing relationships with national and local authorities, civil society organizations, and communities, including in hard-to-reach and crisis-affected areas. UNICEF currently operates across 54 municipalities, supporting essential services for children and adolescents in health, nutrition, WASH, education, and child protection. This presence provides a critical foundation for early detection of risks affecting children, continuity of life-saving services, and rapid adjustment of programmes as conditions evolve. UNICEF also leads or co-leads key sectors, including WASH, nutrition, education, and child protection, giving the organization a central coordination role within the humanitarian system.

In anticipation of a potential escalation, UNICEF has actively strengthened preparedness measures. A contingency plan has been developed to address the humanitarian needs of an initial caseload of 50,000 people, including 20,000 children, under a realistic and fundable scenario of US$5 million. The plan prioritizes continuity of life-saving services while accounting for operational constraints such as insecurity, movement restrictions, disruptions to electricity, communications and banking services, and the presence of armed actors. UNICEF has pre-positioned critical supplies, activated contingency activities within existing programme documents, and reinforced coordination with implementing partners to ensure operational feasibility in the early phase of a crisis. The operational burden and the need for agile decision‑making currently exceed the existing team's capacity, considering the significant staff separations in the last six months which have left the team understaffed.

The temporary deployment of a Nutrition Specialist on mission status is therefore critical to immediately reinforce the Country Office's capacities and providing technical guidance and management support throughout the programming processes to facilitate the administration and achievement of concrete and sustainable results in maternal, infant and child nutrition programmes/projects.
