Children in emergencies cannot wait. @UNICEF acts fast.

Within hours of the earthquakes, UNICEF allocated US$1 million from its flexible Global Humanitarian Thematic Fund #GHTF, helping kick-start the response for children and families in Venezuela.

Hear @Juan_unicef explain why flexible funding matters when every hour counts.

For decades, a shared commitment has helped children survive and thrive.

Now, cutbacks for children threaten this progress.

As world leaders come together at #UNGA, we're calling for a renewed global commitment to children’s rights.

[Africa CDC @AfricaCDC]

At #WHA78, @AfricaCDC brought together a high-level task force to assess progress toward the @_AfricanUnion goal of 2 million Community Health Workers (CHW) by 2030.

A new survey shows strong momentum: 41 countries have CHW strategies and many are going digital. But most programs depend on external funding, with limited national support for salaries.

Africa must boost investment and fully integrate CHWs to achieve Universal Health Coverage.
