What a delight to meet some of the most powerful champions for children–the children and youth themselves. They are key to achieving the #SDGs and the rights of children. #UNGA

Last year, 84% of children were reached with life-saving vaccines. But to protect more lives, we can and must do better. Join UNICEF in calling on world leaders to invest in immunization services and help #BuildBackImmunity.

Community health workers went door-to-door to identify zero-dose #children and to register them in the program to be vaccinated. We remain deeply appreciative of the efforts of our workers behind routine #immunizations. #VaccineHero #BuildBackImmunity
UNICEF Office to the African Union & ECA@UNICEF_AUOffice

From challenges to triumphs. This is how Angola is overcoming low childhood #vaccination rates thanks to door-to-door visits. @UNICEFAngola #BuildBackImmunity #NewPublicHealthOrder

Global childhood immunization rates appear to be bouncing back after pandemic disruptions. Yet progress in countries like India and Indonesia masks a grave threat. This is why. uni.cf/3NUx5vo

Childhood immunization begins promising recovery after COVID-19 related backslide. However, improvements are uneven and low-income countries trail behind. It is time to address longstanding systemic challenges, and ensure all missed children are caught up with full vaccination.

🚽 Toilets matters. According to the latest @UNICEF-@WHO report, 3.4 billion people lacked access to safe sanitation in 2022. Governments must prioritize investing in proper waste management systems to prevent the spread of diseases in children. uni.cf/JMP2023

Excited to see this kind of strong partnership across foundations, multilaterals, government and the UN to ensure children have access to many life saving and improving services at the same time. #foreverychild, a healthy future
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance@gavi

We're proud of our partnership with @CIFFchild to reach #zerodosechildren through an integrated immunisation, nutrition, and social protection programme in Ethiopia. The initiative, implemented by @UNICEF, will help address the dual burden of malnutrition and infectious disease:

Since 2000, the @Gavi Alliance has protected an entire generation of children from potentially fatal diseases. A life-changing milestone! Yet the job is far from done. As a founding and core Alliance partner, @UNICEF is committed to ensuring routine vaccinations #ForEveryChild.
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance@gavi

The Global Vaccine Impact Conference has concluded! Thank you to all who joined us as the Vaccine Alliance marked more than 1 billion children vaccinated through its programs – while looking to the future to ensure no-one is left behind with immunisation: bit.ly/3CxeeRK

“We need to ensure we make the required investment to strengthen health systems so that we'll be able to reach those children. Most prominently invest in community health workers for #PHC,” says Ephrem Tekle Lemango, @UNICEF, at @gavi’s Global Vaccine Impact Conference

The only way to get back on track towards meeting the 2030 development goals is by putting children at the heart of our collective efforts to achieve the #SDGs by prioritizing their rights and well-being. My opening remarks today at the @UNICEF_Board. unicef.org/press-releases…
