How can you make a difference?

UNICEF works towards realization of the rights of children as prescribed in the Convention of the Rights of the Children. These rights pertain to child survival, protection, development, and participation.

Established by the Inter-agency Standing Committee as part of the cluster approach, the Global Education Cluster (GEC), co-led by UNICEF and Save the Children, works towards a predictable, equitable and well-coordinated response addressing education concerns of crisis affected populations by reinforcing capacities of cluster staff and partners, providing timely remote and direct field support, strengthening robust assessment and analysis, and advocating on their behalf. Ensuring country clusters and partners have the requisite skills and knowledge to undertake these processes is a key pillar of the GEC strategic plan and one of its global core functions.
