How can you make a difference?

UNICEF’s work relies on putting children, young people, their families and communities at the center of its actions. UNICEF promotes evidence-based, people-centered and locally owned development and humanitarian initiatives. This is especially important in settings affected by climate shocks, environmental degradation and persistent gender inequalities, which shape behaviours, access to services and community resilience.  Through its Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) programming, UNICEF helps ensure that programmes and services are more responsive, inclusive and sustainable. This approach also makes public action more inclusive and strengthens relationships between communities, public authorities, and service providers. By building trust, it supports greater uptake of current programmes and services while also helping systems become more resilient to future shocks, including climate-related disasters, environmental crises and public health emergencies. It also strengthens social capital and collective efficacy, reinforcing community cohesion, and people’s ability to adapt and respond together.
