How is UNICEF different from other organisations?
UNICEF has saved more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organisation. UNICEF is different in two main ways: The first difference is that UNICEF is one of the largest organisations specifically focusing on children’s development, children in emergencies and children’s rights. The second difference is that, internationally, UNICEF is what is known as an intergovernmental organisation (IGO). This means that UNICEF works in formal partnerships with governments, and has greater access to and influence with those governments on programs for children.
