Question

What are the major achievements of the UNICEF?

Answer 1

Major achievements of UNICEF: The four point programme against preventable diseases:
(i) Immunization,
(ii) Oral dehydration,
(iii) Advocating breast feeding,
(iv) Monitoring growth. This has reduced diseases considerably.
UNICEF celebrated 1979 as the International Year of the Child for focusing people’s attention on the rights of children. It has supported AIDS education and helps families of its victims. Health centers and maternity homes have been established.
Poverty stricken, disabled, demented and victims of other emergencies are provided special protection.
With UNICEF’s efforts a world summit for children was held at UN headquarters attended by representatives of 150 countries. Thus along with other UN agencies UNICEF has achieved considerable success in achieving its goals, but there is still a lot more to be done.
