UNICEF funds come entirely from voluntary contributions. We take this opportunity to thank the millions of people, including our government partners, civil society and the private sector, who contributed to UNICEF’s funds this year. Without your support, our work would not have been possible. Your contributions have a wide impact and allow us to deliver on our mandate to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs, and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. We also extend special and warm thanks to our partners who contributed to UNICEF’s thematic funding. Thematic funding was critical this year and will continue to be an essential tool that allows UNICEF the flexibility and predictability to deliver technical, operational and programming support to children across the world.

  • Family-Friendly Policies for Workers in the Informal Economy
    FAMILY-FRIENDLY POLICIES FOR WORKERS IN THE INFORMAL ECONOMY Protecting and ensuring social protection and care systems for all children and families in the context of COVID-19 and beyond Family-friendly policies for workers in the informal economy 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The publication was jointly developed by Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). The policy brief builds on UNICEF’s call to action for governments and businesses to redesign the workplaces of the future and enable parents and caregivers to give their children the best start in life, while boosting productivity and women’s economic empowerment. Find out more in "Redesigning the workplace to be family-friendly: What governments and businesses can do." In addition, this resource builds on the ILO’s call to promote investment in the care economy as part of the transformative agenda for gender equality of the "ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work." It also expands upon the ILO and WIEGO policy brief series: "Childcare for workers in the informal economy," which explores how universal, publicly funded and quality childcare services, with decent care jobs and as part of social protection systems, can improve the lives and economic security of women workers in the informal economy, support their transition to the formal economy and promote gender quality at work. This policy brief was developed and written by Rachel Moussié from WIEGO, Ruth Graham Goulder, Shreyasi Jha, Christopher Kip, Grainne Moloney, Leigh Pasqual, Chemba Raghavan, Sarah Rossmann, Erica Wong from UNICEF, Laura Addati, Christina Behrendt, Umberto Cattaneo, Ian Orton and Emanuela Pozzan from the ILO.
