The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens addressing inequity not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries.
The Mpox outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) represents a major public health emergency, with increasing spread across multiple provinces.
The response to this epidemic, according to the DRC's national response plan, is structured around several pillars, including vaccination, which faces multiple challenges, particularly due to the introduction of a new vaccine and a vaccination strategy focused on specific populations.
In response to these challenges, UNICEF DRC is mobilizing an international Immunization Specialist at the P3 level to support the vaccination response to Mpox and other health emergencies, in a context where other epidemics such as measles, polio, and meningitis are also present.
L'exploitation des activités minières artisanales offre de significatives possibilités pour favoriser le développement économique et social des régions extractives. Dans la région du Tanganyika, plus précisément dans les territoires de Nyunzu et Manono, l'extraction de coltan, de cassitérite et d'or représente l'activité économique majeure. Cependant, l'accès aux services sociaux de base reste limité.
Pour faire face à la pauvreté, beaucoup de familles s'appuient sur les ressources obtenues grâce au travail des enfants. Selon les données de la dernière enquête MICS-Palu, 7,1 % des enfants âgés de 5 à 11 ans participent à des activités économiques pendant au moins une heure. Il est essentiel de comprendre la condition des enfants résidant dans les régions de la province où cette exploitation a lieu. Cela permettra de confirmer si les conditions de vie des enfants favorisent l’exercice de leurs droits dans tous les domaines importants (santé, nutrition, eau, assainissement, protection, participation, éducation).
En vue de rendre disponible les données sur la situation des enfants dans les zones minières, le Bureau de l’UNICEF Kalemie qui couvre la province du Tanganyika concernée, se propose de réaliser une étude sur la situation des enfants dans les zones minières, en collaboration avec ses partenaires afin de maximiser les ressources et s’assurer que les efforts de cette étude soient intégrés dans les projets similaires des multiples parties prenantes.
