In 2025, amid rising humanitarian needs and constrained public and development financing, cash assistance remained critical to reach the most vulnerable households.

To support children and families, UNICEF delivered $559M in cash transfers.

We have a longstanding partnership w/@kobotoolbox. HOPE—UNICEF’s humanitarian cash assistance tool—is integrated with their software for beneficiary registration.

Recently, we teamed up to train country teams on the HOPE-Kobo integration, enabling better support during crises.

Se va tutto bene, siamo perduti.

Ho appena finito una prima lettura del rapporto Draghi sui ritardi dell'economia e delle istituzioni europee nei confronti di USA e Cina. 328 sconsolanti pagine di sofferenza, rammarico e frustrazione: non perchè siano dati prima sconosciuti, anzi proprio poiché non lo sono.

Viene voglia di saltare sul primo aereo verso Ovest, con viaggio di sola andata. Ma invece bisogna guardare dritto nell'abisso, per capire meglio come l'Europa abbia potuto ridursi così.

Spero che vi venga voglia di studiarlo (tutto, non solo il summary) e di confrontarvi pubblicamente in merito, perché il rapporto inchioda politica e società europee alle proprie colossali responsabilità e le pone davanti a ineludibili e inderogabili scelte per il futuro.

In its speed, scale and inhumane ferocity, the war in Gaza is the deadliest of conflicts – for civilians, aid workers, journalists, health workers, and for our @UN colleagues.

We honour all those who have been killed, and pledge to remember their commitment & sacrifice.

[UNICEF Economic & Social Policy @UNICEFSocPolicy]

Over half a million highly vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip received humanitarian cash assistance enabled by digital innovations.

This support is critical for children and families to meet their needs with choice and dignity. https://t.co/XT3YgGb0tb

380 million.

That’s the number of women and girls living in poverty.

Poverty and gender inequality go hand-in-hand. We can’t end one without tackling the other.

We must accelerate our efforts to give women and girls the support they need to fulfil their potential. #IWD2024
