The grant represents Canada’s institutional support to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). UNICEF uses these funds, along with other donor funding, to achieve its mandate. Guided by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, UNICEF supports the rights of children to help meet their basic needs and expand opportunities for children to reach their full potential. UNICEF seeks to improve the social and economic conditions of children by ensuring that they have access to health care, clean water, food, and education. UNICEF also works to ensure that children are protected from violence and abuse and receive relief in disasters. Canada's support to UNICEF helps to advance children's survival and the equal rights of women and girls as well as their full participation in development.

The expected outcomes for this project as stated by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) include: (1) improved and equitable use of high-impact maternal and child health interventions from pregnancy to adolescence; (2) improved and equitable use of HIV prevention and treatment interventions by children, pregnant women and adolescents; (3) improved and equitable access to and use of safe drinking water, adequate sanitation and healthy environments, and improved hygiene practices; (4) improved and equitable use of nutritional support and nutrition and care practices; (5) improved learning outcomes, and equitable and inclusive education; (6) improved and equitable prevention of, and response to, violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect of children; and (7) improved policy environment and systems for disadvantaged and excluded children.
