UNICEF’s work in Egypt is focused on promoting sustainable development with multidimensional equity for children, embodying the fair chance for every child principle.

UNICEF’s programme in Egypt contributes to strengthen the knowledge base for more child-sensitive social protection, and improve three fundamental elements of the early childhood years (health, nutrition and development). UNICEF’s work on learning and protection covers all children of all ages, focusing on the most vulnerable children, children with disabilities and adolescent girls.

UNICEF Egypt’s Country Program 2023 – 2027 is supporting the Government of Egypt to ensure that:

• Vulnerable children and their families increasingly benefit from evidence-driven and effective anti-poverty interventions, including social protection, and increasingly practice behaviors that reduce the transmission of poverty across generations.​
• Children, including adolescents, gain access to and utilize quality health care, early learning, safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); adopt nutritious diets and nurturing practices, and live in a safe and sustainable climate and environment.​
• Children, adolescents, and young people, particularly the most disadvantaged, realize their right to education by accessing quality learning and skills development opportunities. ​
• Children -- including those on the move -- have improved access to and utilization of inclusive, rights-based and gender-responsive prevention and response services that address violence, exploitation, abuse, neglect and harmful practices, in an environment that promotes positive social norms.​

Adolescents and Youth (10-24yrs) with focus on the most vulnerable, are equipped, empowered and supported to transition to productive and engaged adulthood.​
