UNICEF is a leading humanitarian and development agency working globally for the rights of every child.

Child rights begin with safe shelter, nutrition, protection from disaster and conflict and traverse the life cycle:
pre-natal care for healthy births, clean water and sanitation, health care and education. UNICEF has spent nearly 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families.

Working with and for children through adolescence and into adulthood requires a global presence whose goal is to produce results and monitor their effects.

UNICEF also lobbies and partners with leaders, thinkers and policy makers to help all children realize their rights—especially the most disadvantaged.

UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.


Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, a champion


Guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UNICEF Strategic Plan, , the programme addresses barriers to the full realization of children's rights, with a focus on the most vulnerable, particularly indigenous and Afrodescendent peoples, migrants and rural populations.


The general objective of the UNICEF programme is to support the Government so that, from early childhood to adolescence, opportunities are created in an equitable manner and without violence, allowing children and adolescents to grow and develop fully, with no left one behind.


The UNICEF programme for Panama will prioritize: (a) Early childhood development; (b) Adolescent development and participation; (c) Protection of children and adolescents.


How can you make a difference?
