Canadian Unicef Committee-Comite Unicef Canada

International Contributions UNICEF Canada is one of 33 National Committees around the world, and each Committee operates under a cooperation agreement with UNICEF. Through fundraising, education, and advocacy activities, UNICEF Canada supports programs that provide protection, healthcare, and immunizations, education, safe water and sanitation and nutrition, and is party to a cooperation agreement with UNICEF that establishes, among other things, that the net funds raised after expenditures relating to public advocacy and Canadian programs will be transferred to UNICEF for the funding of programs approved by the UNICEF executive board.

Public Advocacy and Canadian Programs UNICEF Canada engages in education and advocacy related to child rights, both domestic and international, international development, and humanitarian assistance with the goal of ensuring every child is healthy, educated, protected, and respected. UNICEF Canada works with partners, volunteers, influencers, coalitions, and other stakeholders to rally the Canadian public to support UNICEF's global work and public policy priorities. UNICEF Canada also works with policymakers to advance federal and provincial policies that impact children and to secure funding from the Canadian government in support of international development and humanitarian aid.
