UNICEF is interested in innovative partnerships with industry partners that enhance brand mission reach and diversify financing flows for children and their communities. The global video game industry is one such dynamic and culturally influential example, engaging more than three billion people worldwide and generating nearly USD 200 billion annually. Gaming offers rich opportunities for public engagement, advocacy, education, and fundraising through its vast digital ecosystems, communities, and immersive storytelling platforms.

There is a need for a cohesive strategic framework to guide UNICEF’s engagement with the video gaming industry, one that is informed by evidence, built on industry insight, and designed for operational exploration across geographical markets.
