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, Results
UNICEF is leading a multi-year investment project to overhaul UNICEF's global digital engagement and communications. The Digital Transformation Project (DTP) centres around a new UNICEF.org, which will become a knowledge and advocacy engine for children's rights.
The vision of a UNICEF that is innovative, collaborative, and nimble requires that UNICEF.org be transformed into a digital platform and content syndication service that is audience-centered, structured not as a mirror of our internal organization, but designed in a way that makes sense for the external users.
How can you make a difference?
