Program areas at United Nations Foundation
Children's health: the United Nations Foundation's children's health program assists the United Nations in its efforts to ensure that all children have the means and the opportunity to develop to their full potential.

Together with key United Nations agencies such as the world health organization, unicef and private sector partners such as rotary international, nba cares and the people of the United methodist church, the United Nations Foundation has helped establish the measles initiative, nothing but nets and the rotary-polio buy down initiative. The United Nations Foundation's malaria partnership works to prevent malaria deaths in africa.
Women and population: the United Nations Foundation's women and population program works with the United Nations and civil society to support achievement of universal access to reproductive health services and supplies -- the central goal established at the United Nations international conference on population and development (icpd), adopted in 1994. To advance this goal, the United Nations Foundation's women and population program is involved in: supporting and strengthening United Nations agencies; advancing the educational, economic and social services and opportunities available to adolescent girls; ensuring availability of reproductive health supplies; and advocating for empirically-based strategies that address the challenges posed by demographic change and insufficient availability of reproductive health and rights around the world.
Climate change, energy & sustainable development: the United Nations Foundation's climate and energy program works with the United Nations to help lead the world's transition toward a climate-friendly energy economy. It serves as a nonpartisan forum, and convenes coalitions of leading thinkers and actors to seize opportunities and address challenges posed by this transformation. The United Nations foundations sustainable development efforts are undertaken in close collaboration with the United Nations educational, scientific, and cultural organization (unesco) world heritage centre. The United Nations Foundation's efforts are aimed at supporting and promoting the management and conservation of natural world heritage sites and promotion of sustainable tourism practices.
