Home > United Nations Children's Fund

The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) was established by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946. In 1953, its name was shortened to the United Nations Children's Fund, but is still known by its popular acronym. Headquartered in New York City, UNICEF provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries. A voluntarily funded agency, UNICEF relies on contributions from governments and private donors. Its programs emphasize developing community-level services to promote the health and well-being of children. UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965.

1 Public perception

While UNICEF claims to fund only non-political organizations, NGO Monitor (published by former Israeli Ambassador to the UN Dore Gold) criticizes UNICEF-funded PYALARA, the " Palestinian Youth Association for Leadership and Rights Activation"), a student-run Palestinian NGO, for what NGO Monitor alleges is its covert political agenda justifying suicide bombings and demonizing Israel [1].
