Yes, UNICEF works in Israel. Although UNICEF doesn't have a traditional operational presence in Israel that directly implements programs, it engages with the country through various avenues.
Here's a breakdown of how UNICEF's work relates to Israel:
-
Fundraising and Awareness: The Israeli Fund for UNICEF was established in 2009. Its primary purpose is to raise awareness within Israel about children's rights globally and to fundraise in support of UNICEF's worldwide initiatives. Therefore, while UNICEF may not directly implement programs in Israel, funds raised in Israel contribute to UNICEF's work in other countries.
-
Focus on Global Programs: The Israeli Fund for UNICEF directs its efforts and resources towards supporting UNICEF's life-saving programs around the world, particularly in developing nations where children face significant challenges related to health, education, protection, and nutrition.
In summary, UNICEF's engagement with Israel is primarily through fundraising and awareness campaigns managed by the Israeli Fund for UNICEF, which contributes to UNICEF's global efforts.
