to their survival. This is why JFCI exists.

helps children get the care and stimulation they need in
the early years of life and encourages families to educate
girls as well as boys. It strives to reduce childhood death
and illness and to protect children in the midst of war
and natural disaster. UNICEF supports young people, wherever
they are, in making informed decisions about their own lives,
and strives to build a world in which all children live
in dignity and security.
From
politics to security to public health, from crime to the
environment, a growing agenda of development issues can
no longer be managed within the boundaries of any single
nation. Global, regional and national coalitions for action
are emerging centred around the United Nations' indispensable
role. The UN can bring together governments, civil society,
multinational corporations and multilateral organizations
- coming together around particular issues of concern and
looking for innovative ways to address them. —Mark

The

provide care and support for those infected and affected
by the disease

reduce the vulnerability of individuals and communities
to HIV/AIDs
- to
alleviate the socio-economic and human impact of the epidemic.
