UNICEF Annual Report

From natural disasters linked to climate change, conflict, the ongoing fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing poverty and a global nutrition crisis, last year was fraught with crises for children. For over 75 years, UNICEF has worked to protect children and uphold their rights. Find out in UNICEF's latest Annual Report how we did so again in 2022, with more children in need than at any other time in our organization's history. Read the Annual Report Here is just some of what we achieved in 2022: 356.3 million children under 5 – more than ever before – benefited from programmes to prevent malnutrition. 77.9 million children were vaccinated against measles. 37.9 million out-of-school children and adolescents accessed education. More than doubling the number of children, adolescents and caregivers provided with community-based mental health and psychosocial support services. 4.5 million children with disabilities were reached with disability-inclusive programmes. 39 million people were provided with water, sanitation or hygiene services in humanitarian emergencies. These accomplishments for children were possible because of the support of our partners and donors. "I hope you see the results in this report as proof of the progress we can achieve when we work together for children. Let's use it as momentum to do even more to protect the rights of every child." UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell
