Climate change, energy access, and environmental degradation are urgent global challenges that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, particularly children, young people, and women. In Belize, these issues are critical to ensuring a sustainable future for its youth and most vulnerable groups. Children and young people represent the future of any society, and their human capital is deeply impacted by the adverse effects of climatic and man-made hazards. Their physical, mental, and social well-being, as well as their access to education, health services, and economic opportunities, are all at risk. Addressing these challenges is essential not only to protect their current rights but to ensure that future generations can thrive and fully realize their potential.
UNICEF through its partnership with the National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) will develop a comprehensive disaster risk management training course for public officers to strengthen capacity of key emergency responders during times of crisis.

To address this, UNICEF seeks to modernize NEMO’s training system by redesigning lesson plans, incorporating online learning options, and implementing a certification system to incentives public officers. This document outlines the concept for this overhaul and recommends the engagement of a consultant for its successful execution.

La vaccination est l’un des programmes de santé publique qui a fait ses preuves dans le contrôle et l’éradication de pathologies mortelles ayant affecté le monde. Au Bénin, les bonnes performances vaccinales réalisées par le pays dans la mise en œuvre des activités du Programme Elargi de Vaccination (PEV) ont permis de réduire sensiblement l’incidence des maladies évitables par la vaccination (diphtérie, coqueluche, fièvre jaune, Rougeole, etc.), d’éliminer le tétanos néonatal et d’arrêter la circulation du poliovirus sauvage depuis 2009. Cependant, depuis quelques années, on note une stagnation voire une régression des performances du pays accentué par la pandémie de la COVID-19 qui a secoué le pays courant 2020-2021. Selon les estimations du WUENIC, depuis 2016, la couverture du pays en Penta3 est restée stagnante à 76% avec une régression à 69% en 2023.
La conséquence perceptible sur le programme de vaccination est l’augmentation du nombre d’enfant zéro-dose (+16% entre 2019-2023).
Face à cette situation, des initiatives et approches innovantes sont en cours au niveau de pays pour inverser les tendances en matière de vaccination et réduire le nombre d’enfants zéro-doses ont été entreprises par le Ministère de la santé dont l’extension sur système logistique optimisé.

Globally, millions of girls face significant barriers to education due to inadequate menstrual hygiene management (MHM). Guyana is no exception, with disparities in access to menstrual hygiene products, sanitation facilities, and awareness about menstruation being particularly pronounced in rural, riverine, and hinterland communities
In many of these communities, adolescent girls struggle with the lack of access to private, clean, and safe sanitation facilities, coupled with limited access to affordable menstrual hygiene products. These challenges often result in absenteeism, school dropouts, and a perpetuation of gender-based educational disparities. The stigma surrounding menstruation also contributes to social exclusion and reinforces negative attitudes toward girls' education, further hindering their full participation in school life.
