Investing in Children: UNICEF's Contribution to Poverty Reduction and the Millennium Summit Agenda

This strategic plan focuses on reducing child mortality and includes areas such as young child survival and development, basic education and gender equality, HIV/AIDS and children, child protection, and policy advocacy and partnerships for children's rights. The plan also aligns with several Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), including reducing poverty and malnutrition, improving access to safe water and sanitation, preventing and controlling malaria, and reducing maternal mortality. It sets targets for vaccination coverage, polio eradication, ITN usage, and high-impact health and nutrition interventions. It also aims to improve care practices, access to services and resources, policy environment, hygiene and water safety, and sector plans for hygiene, sanitation, and water supply. The plan further emphasizes implementing interventions during emergency situations and ranks the highest under-5 mortality rate countries.

  1. “Investing in Children: the UNICEF Contribution to Poverty Reduction and the Millennium Summit Agenda’’Medium Term Strategic Plan 2006-2009focus on reducing child mortality

  2. Medium Term Strategic Plan 2006-2009

  3. Focus Areas: 2006-2009 • Young Child Survival and Development • Basic Education and Gender Equality • HIV/AIDS and Children • Child Protection : Preventing and responding to Violence, Exploitation & Abuse • Policy Advocacy and Partnerships for Children’s Rights Medium Term Strategic Plan 2006-2009

  4. Young Child Survival & Development • UNICEF’s work in the 2006-2009 period and beyond in support of MDG 4 on reducing child mortality. But this focus area also encompasses several other MDGs, including • MDG 1 on reducing poverty and malnutrition; • MDG 7 on the environment, through UNICEF support for safe water and sanitation; • MDG 6 on Prevention and Control of Malaria; and • MDG 5 on reducing maternal mortality, which UNICEF will support through joint programming initiatives with UNFPA and WHO. Medium Term Strategic Plan 2006-2009

  5. Young Child Survival and Development • The 12 organizational targets in this focus area are: • Increase and sustain vaccination coverage to at least 90% at national level and 80% in all districts or equivalent administrative units, with particular focus on reaching population groups with low coverage levels; • Interrupt polio transmission in all remaining endemic countries and achieve certification of global polio eradication; • In all countries with high child mortality rates that are malaria endemic, increase and sustain to at least 60% the percentage of young children and pregnant women sleeping under an ITN in all malaria-endemic districts. • In 60 countries with high child mortality rates and/or with large numbers of child deaths, increase and sustain to at least 60% the effective coverage of high impact health and nutrition intervention packages with emphasis on families in poverty. • All high U5MR countries have country owned and led PRS – or equivalent national development strategies – that set medium term targets for scaling up high impact and synergistic maternal, newborn and health and nutrition child survival intervention packages and define equity based plans for achieving these targets, linked to medium term expenditure frameworks. Medium Term Strategic Plan 2006-2009

  6. Young Child Survival and Development • The 12 organizational targets in this focus area are: • Increase by at least 50% the number of families utilizing appropriate care and feeding practices for child survival, growth and development • Increase by at least 50% the number of families with access to services and essential resources that contribute to young child survival, growth and development • All programme countries have an enabling policy environment for improved family and community care practices for survival, growth and development • Support the development and implementation of community-based hygiene improvement and water safety plans that lead to reduction in childhood diarrheoa and other water-related diseases. • Support progress towards Target 10 of the MDGs, through support to scaling up of adequately financed, decentralized, locally determined programmes consisting of a balanced mix of hygiene, sanitation and water supply interventions, focusing on poor rural and urban families; • Provide leadership with other key agencies on working with governments to strengthen sector plans, policies and budgets for hygiene, sanitation and water supply, and incorporate these into national Poverty Reduction Strategies, Sector Wide Approaches (SWAPs) and UNDAFs • Implement the CCCs for young child health, nutrition and water, sanitation and hygiene in declared emergency situations Medium Term Strategic Plan 2006-2009
