UNICEF is one of the central actors in the United Nations providing humanitarian assistance. It is mandated to meet the needs of the most vulnerable, to save lives and protect rights as defined in its Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action. In humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF’s project activities include: (1) treating children for severe acute malnutrition; (2) providing people with access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities; (3) emergency education programming for children; (4) protection services for children and women; and (5) basic healthcare. With the support of DFATD and other donors, UNICEF's emergency operations work to protect and assist an estimated 24 million people affected by conflict, natural disasters and political instability.

The expected immediate outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to safe drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene education; (2) increased access to services and commodities to identify and treat acute malnutrition; and (3) increased access to protection services, particularly for children and women. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
