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 hope Background & Rationale The Humanitarian Review was initiated in 2019 in response to the evaluation of the Coverage and Quality of the UNICEF Humanitarian Response and was designed to answer the questions: Does UNICEF’s current business model prepare it for an effective response to a rapidly evolving landscape of crisis and how can UNICEF adapt its model to ensure it can respond to future humanitarian contexts and needs quickly and effectively? UNICEF undertook the Humanitarian Review to understand how its work in emergencies could be strengthened to ensure that it is a reliable and consistent partner in delivering results for children and their families. The Review is now the organization’s change management tool for implementing actions to enable a humanitarian response that fits the needs of children today and tomorrow. The final Review document was issued in October 2020 and actual implementation started in early 2021.
