Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

UNICEF began its mission in 1946 as a relief organization for children after World War II.  Its mandate soon expanded to helping children whose lives were at risk in developing countries. Almost 60 years later, UNICEF is more than 7,000 people in 157 countries and territories around the world. Nine of 10 staff members work closely with national and local governments and other partners around the world.

Throughout, UNICEF’s priorities have been realizing the intrinsic rights of children to a basic quality of life, rights world leaders further defined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. UNICEF bases its actions on up-to-date substantial research and experience on what works to help give children the best start in life, to survive and thrive -- especially in emergencies -- and to go to school.

This work correlates closely with the Millennium Development Goals set by United Nations States in 2000 – and is central to meeting them. Of the 48 indicators of progress toward the Goals, UNICEF is chiefly responsible for progress in 13.
