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, hope**
The UNICEF Latin America and Caribbean Regional Office is based in in Panama, operating in 36 territories, including 24 country offices.
UNICEF works to put the rights and well-being of the most disadvantaged children at the heart of the social, political, and economic agenda, in line with our equity focus, working across our organization and with our partners in government, civil society and the private sector to support shifts in public policy, fuel social engagement, and increase investment for children.
LAC countries rank among the most natural hazard-prone in the world, exposed to volcanoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods, landslides, and yearly cycles of major tropical storms and hurricanes. Recurrent natural hazards have a high human and economic cost, affecting highly urbanized societies marked by very large inequalities.
With 47 million children living in areas where at least two climate and environmental shocks overlap, with natural hazards increasing their intensity and frequency, their impacts are exacerbated by multiple socio-economic crises with serious humanitarian implications for children. It is more than a heightened risk for children: it is a life-threatening reality. Crises in LAC region are interwoven. Violence, gender-based violence, poverty, socio-economic and structural inequality, socio-political turmoil, paired with the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, are the main drivers of internal displacement and cross-border migration of millions of people throughout the region. Pre-existing precarious conditions leave little room for resilience to the smallest shocks and expose children to acute humanitarian needs.
Violence is a major threat to populations in Colombia, Venezuela, Haiti, Central America and Mexico and exacerbates their vulnerability to all kinds of hazards. The LAC region hosts 43 of the 50 most violent cities in the world. Forced displacement affects more than 12 million people across the region. Poverty, inequality, socio-political turmoil, paired with the long-term effects of the pandemic, have led to internal displacement and cross-border migration throughout the region, exacerbated protection risks including gender-based violence, resulting in humanitarian needs among the most vulnerable, including migrants and indigenous communities.
Children on the move and their families, from Venezuela as well as other nationalities, face challenges to regularize their immigration status, which affects their access to social protection, health, early childhood development, education, sustainable livelihoods and child protection. The lack of comprehensive public policies on migration issues in host countries is putting children at higher risk of discrimination, violence, xenophobia, exploitation and abuse in transit/destination countries.
UNICEF LAC Regional Office provides direct and remote support to country offices to address the increasing number of complex crises affecting children. This support includes technical assistance, quality assurance and oversight to ensure timely and effective humanitarian response in pursuit of the Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action, including cross-cutting programming (i.e., on gender, early childhood development, adolescents and disabilities) in all countries where a humanitarian situation is revealed.
