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
In Cote d’Ivoire, social norms present significant challenges for children. Adolescents and youth, particularly girls, face major constraints in fulfilling their potential: 21.1 per cent of adolescent girls aged 15 to 19 years have already given birth or are pregnant and only 47.2 per cent are literate versus 63.8 per cent of boys. Gender-based violence is prevalent and 33 per cent of adolescent girls have experience violence, including sexual violence. Adolescent development and participation is inextricably linked to social norms, many of them gender norms. For this reason, Cote d’Ivoire-UNICEF is willing to have a cross cutting component on HIV and Adolescents, with a clear focus on adolescent girls, which will be closely working with other programmatic components (Child Survival, Education, Child Protection, Social Inclusion). The coordination of this strategic workstream across sectors is under the leadership of the Deputy Representative, in order to ensure optimal programmatic coherence.
