#NoMoreZeroDose Song Launch was a remarkable experience. Befitting that UNICEF’s Regional Director for West and Central Africa Gilles Fagninou was present at this important event to meet with the amazing stars of the song and government partners💙💙

Heureux d'annoncer la signature d'un protocole d'accord entre l'#UNICEF et le #CESAG, Centre régional d'excellence. Ensemble, nous renforçons les capacités en #suivi et #évaluation au bénéfice des enfants et des jeunes en #Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre!

At the #NoMoreZeroDose song launch, we took our guests on a journey through time, showcasing the power of vaccines to protect children from childhood diseases. Here’s what they had to say. Now it’s your turn! How will you commit to ensuring children are fully immunised?

The Iraqi Parliament’s proposal to lower the legal marriage age for girls from 18 to 9 years old is an assault on childhood. Girls are not spouses—they are children who deserve their right to grow up with protection and dignity.

Young voices are loud and clear: climate action can’t wait. We must face the climate crisis together, with courage and urgency. Echoing António Guterres’s words at #COP29 to youth: I count on you, and you can count on me.

The planet needs #ClimateAction now and young people know it. Their voices and demands need to be included in #COP29.

9 million !! 🎉 That’s the number of young people empowered through Generation Unlimited Nigeria. With @airtelnigeria & The Tony Elumelu Foundation, we are striving to shape a brighter future for Nigeria. 💫 We no get limits! ✨

A pleasure to speak about child-sensitive NDCs at UNICEF Europe C.Asia event at COP29 Azerbaijan. Children need future-proof climate policies. I was inspired to see commitments from governments to prioritize education and youth engagement as they develop these policies in Europe and Central Asia

Had the opportunity of being part of the 2024 UNICEF generation unlimited Nigeria steering committee meeting on Tuesday last week at Airtel office in Lagos Nigeria. linkedin.com/posts/abubakar…

As International Fraud Awareness Week comes to a close, UNICEF reaffirms its zero-tolerance stance on fraud. Protecting children’s rights means upholding the highest standards of integrity & accountability. Every resource must go where it’s needed most — to the children we serve.

Many thanks RwandAir for making the dreams of Sarah and Jean De Dieu a reality! These kids are national level achievers. They have an opinion about the #future of children, and represent the potential of #Rwanda's children. UNICEF Rwanda UNICEF Africa @yetnebersh_mola

Happy to have hosted the FCDO and UNICEF’s Generation Unlimited Global teams for a visit of the Girls’ Education Skills Partnership sites where girls are equipped with tech skills, as well as entrepreneurial opportunities to help them transition from learning to earning.

Today, stakeholders from the government, private sector, and media came together to discuss the role of media in mainstreaming child rights. With a focus on children’s future, we explored actionable solutions. Look out for more excerpts from the event!

Access to medical oxygen and neonatal care is important, particularly for children with severe respiratory illnesses or complications at birth. My special appreciation to Canada in Nigeria Development Canada and IHS Towers for their continued support in improving the lives of children in 🇳🇬

Over 14,000 schools are closed in West and Central Africa due to insecurity. We call on governments to strengthen the resilience of education systems so that the instability of an African child’s environment is no longer a barrier putting their potential on hold.
