UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, advocacy

With the aim of building partnership with China to improve the health and well-being of children in the country, while strengthening UNICEF’s partnership with China in support of children around the world, the Every Child Alive and Early Moments Matter campaigns provide an opportunity to connect our work with China under one umbrella. The campaigns present an opportunity to bring together advocacy, fundraising and public engagement within China and provides a platform for engaging China and bringing profile to its work on the global stage. In addition, UNICEF will be working with the Chinese government in the development and roll out of the Toilet Revolution campaign.

An advocacy and communications strategy has been or will be developed for each of the campaigns that outlines key objectives and activities through 2019/2020. Several rounds of consultations were and will be held with government partners, as well as technical colleagues within UNICEF to support the implementation.
