This grant represents Canada’s support to UNICEF’s humanitarian appeals in response to drought and conflict in the Sahel (specifically Chad, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Senegal and Cameroon) and eastern Africa; severe acute malnutrition throughout Africa; and, protracted crises in the Democratic Republic of Congo, North Korea, Pakistan and Yemen. Founded in 1946, UNICEF is mandated by the UN General Assembly to protect the rights of children and women in developing countries through its development and humanitarian assistance programming. In humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF’s activities include: the provision of commodities to treat severe acute malnutrition; safe drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene programming; emergency education; basic health care; and, protection services for children and women.

Expected outputs include: the provision of commodities to treat severe acute malnutrition; safe drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene programming; emergency education; basic health care; and, protection services for children and women. The expected intermediate outcome is reduced vulnerability of crisis-affected people, especially women and children.
