For every child, hope

The PFP Business for Results (B4R) initiative was launched in 2018 as a whole-of-UNICEF approach to boost the organizational understanding and capacity to incorporate business as one of the key stakeholders to realize strategic results for children. The initiative aims to create a UNICEF in which the potential and relevance of business are mainstreamed into its considerations and decisions on how to achieve results for children, with the necessary ambition, knowledge, skills and resources in place. Within the B4R initiative, there are three major project teams aligned to its pillars: 1) Capacity Building and Culture Change; 2) Tools and Systems; and 3) Enabling environment.
