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 Safety. The socio-political and security context has profoundly changed in 2012. Indeed non-state actors tried to take control of parts of the territory before being stopped by the combined efforts of the Malian security forces and their partners. This has led to an increase in terrorist criminal and unrest threats. At the same time humanitarian needs have increased justifying a stronger presence of humanitarian actors including UNICEF on the ground. This is not without danger for the safety and security of their personnel and property that assist populations affected by insecurity. Humanitarian access constraints for security reasons in several localities in the centre and north of the country are increasingly extending to the southern regions including Kayes and Sikasso due to the expansion of the area of operation of non-State armed groups. They could increase due to the withdrawal of MINUSMA and the multiplication of operations by the Malian Armed Forces. To ensure the effectiveness of the humanitarian response the UNICEF country office in Mali plans to maintain efforts to strengthen its field presence by recruiting three national security officers for its offices in Kayes Sikasso and Gao (Menaka). UNICEF's core mission is to promote the rights of every child everywhere in everything the organization does – including its programmes advocacy and operations. The equity strategy which focuses on the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families reflects this commitment to children's rights. For UNICEF equity means that all children have the opportunity to survive develop and reach their full potential without discrimination bias or favouritism. To the extent that a child has unequal opportunities in life - in its social political economic civic and cultural dimensions - his or her rights are violated. It is increasingly clear that investing in the health education and protection of the most disadvantaged citizens of a society — by tackling inequalities — will not only give all children the opportunity to thrive but will also contribute to the growth and stability of countries. That is why the search for equity is vital. It accelerates progress towards the realization of the human rights of all children which is UNICEF's universal mandate as defined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child while supporting the equitable development of nations.

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 support The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child everywhere in everything the organization does — in programs in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive develop and reach their full potential without discrimination bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social political economic civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children which is the universal mandate of UNICEF as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child while also supporting the equitable development of nations. UNICEF started operation in Cambodia in 1952 and opened first country office in 1973 in Phnom Penh. More information on what we do in Cambodia is available at https://www.unicef.org/cambodia/.
