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.
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.
