BACKGROUND The World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian agency implementing programs to fight hunger and is part of the global community working to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 which includes ending malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Emergency preparedness and response is a core component of WFP’s work. Hunger and malnutrition are widespread among crisis-affected populations disproportionately impacting women and children. Forty-five percent of deaths in children under-five are associated with undernutrition related to both acute and chronic undernutrition. Poor nutrition also has longer term consequences related to child growth and development – these latter consequences are largely irreversible. WFP’s emergency nutrition programming is an integral part of any humanitarian crisis response and globally. In particular WFP facilitates access to appropriate nutritious foods for children aged 6-59 months and Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women (PBW) in order to prevent or treat malnutrition and thus makes a crucial contribution to saving lives and strengthening physical resilience to shocks in emergency-affected communities. Given the multiple causes of malnutrition WFP also advocates for a comprehensive response to address the underlying and immediate causes of malnutrition to be achieved in partnership with other key sectors (i.e. optimal IYCF practices good health services proper hygiene and sanitation and household food security). WFP works with governments UN partners (mostly UNICEF and UNHCR) and other international and national organizations to ensure a well-coordinated nutrition response.

Living in a more egalitarian just and prosperous society is possible if we approach the care of children as an activity of the greatest importance and as a responsibility not only of families but shared by the whole of society. Care can be defined as: the dispositions and attentions that must be lavished on someone who cannot solve them by himself [1]. In childcare centres children are provided with care including grooming food health care education and recreation in accordance with the principle of the best interests of the child under conditions of equality respect and full exercise of their rights. The SNDIF directly operates two types of Child Care Centers (CAI) namely Community Child Assistance Centers (CAICs) and Child Development Assistance Centers (CADIs) Child Development Assistance Centers (CADI) They provide a comprehensive assistance service that favors the biological psychological and social development of children from 45 days old to 5 years 11 months of age  children of working mothers or single fathers with limited economic resources lacking social benefits and families at risk with the aim of improving the quality of life of children and their families promoting a culture of respect for individual differences and within the framework of their rights. The Community Child Assistance Centers (CAIC) provide protection and comprehensive care to children between 2 and 5 years 11 months with the committed and self-managed participation of the community. Children are cared for in simple and safe spaces by staff from the community itself most of them with professional training in the educational field. These centres provide educational care health and food services through inter-institutional consultation and social management. For CAIC and CADI a model of care was developed in 2006: the Educational Assistance Program for CADI and CAIC which is currently in force and supports staff in front of groups to carry out educational activities. A model of care according to SEP 2013 defines general guidelines for the educational care of children up to 6 years of age; it is based on the principle of providing an educational service that asserts the fulfilment of children's rights without neglecting the welfare nature; Therefore it focuses on the attention and satisfaction of their needs from the moment of their birth giving particular importance to the educational aspect by recognizing the central role of the intervention of the educational agent. With the intention of contributing to improve the scope and efficiency of government actions related to child care and considering that the current model is from 2006 and there have been new findings on child development teaching practices new national norms and standards etc. this consultancy seeks to build a New Educational Model for CADI and CAIC that serves children under six years of age  that responds to a new vision of the National System for the Integral Development of the Family in matters of Early Childhood in order to put into practice the mandates of the different laws that concern the institutions responsible for the Child Care Centers (CAI). ____  through play and loving and sensitive care thereby guaranteeing their rights well-being and the enrichment of their personal social cognitive and emotional development General Objective To design a new educational assistance model for the CADI and CAIC that operate at the national level which responds both to the new precepts of integral child development to the regulations and educational policy in the field of early childhood  as well as the legal provisions that mandate to guarantee and protect the rights of children.

UNICEF’s office is accessible to a certain extent and employees are entitled to reasonable accommodations that are needed for ensuring equitable working conditions. The environmental degradation and climate change effects have a significant impact on children. Their physical and mental development as well as their status within the society make them particularly vulnerable to environmental harm that can have irreversible lifelong and transgenerational consequences. Adverse environmental conditions and pollution are major contributor to childhood deaths illnesses and disability particularly in developing countries. Children are particularly vulnerable to certain environmental risks including air pollution inadequate water sanitation and hygiene; hazardous chemicals and waste radiation; climate change-floods landslides and heatwaves; as well as emerging threats like e-waste. Unfortunately the Serbian environmental legislative framework both national and local does not sufficiently recognize children as a particularly sensitive group nor does it contain provisions that would provide children with an additional degree of protection or specifically refer to children in realizing their right to a healthy environment. Even though decisions related to environmental issues greatly affect the quality of life and the future of children and young people they rarely have the opportunity to participate in the processes of decision-making. In June 2023 the Program of Adaptation to Climate Change with Action Plan (NAP) draft was introduced for public consultations and hopefully will be adopted by the end of the 2023 providing an opportunity to address child rights issues more in-depth and as it deserves as well as to reinforce the prevention and response to climate-change related hazards. Involving youth as active participants of the consultative process for NAP and other policies on the national and local level will increase ownership over these important processes by young people sensitise them for long term action and increase sustainability of the interventions. In addition raising awareness of all relevant stakeholders will further improve the quality of the response and resilience of the population.
