The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS.
UNICEF is seeking to complement its current efforts to accelerate results for children through the use of new financial structures (e.g., parametric insurance, blended finance, outcome-based financing, guarantees, and impact investing) that can leverage additional resources for children. The PFP IF4C unit enables, drives, and accelerates innovative alternative financing and funding solutions for children, in partnership with the private sector and UNICEF National Committees to accelerate reaching the SDGs for children.
