More about G-6 contracts.UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child,
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
The fundraising operation in the Individual´s area has been focused on pledge acquisition and has increased in the last years with an average of 15,000 donors annually. PFP expects to keep increasing at a double rate in coming years.
The number of suppliers (F2F Agencies, Call Centers, Online Payment Gateways, etc.) doing donor acquisition has increased in numbers with a subsequent growing complexity in terms of database management. The inclusion of security measures in hand with new standards required by UNICEF made these processes even more sophisticated.
The payment processes for local fundraising purposes also increased in the last 5 years, which makes more demanding and diverse the bank/credit card transaction activities.
