The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, 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. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.

Child wasting remains a major cause of preventable illness and death, requiring effective prevention, early identification, treatment, follow-up and relapse prevention across routine, fragile and humanitarian health systems. However, conflict, displacement, climate shocks, food insecurity and financing constraints often weaken service access, quality and continuity. Existing monitoring systems provide limited insight into service readiness, quality of care, referral completion, equity, supply continuity and populations missed by services, while data sources are often fragmented and poorly linked to decision-making. This initiative will strengthen the quality and performance of child wasting services by addressing system-level constraints and integrating quality improvement approaches into national health systems. Led by UNICEF’s Child Nutrition and Development Global Practice, the multi-country programme will support countries across Asia-Pacific and fragile and humanitarian settings through a common technical framework adapted to local contexts, in partnership with ministries of health, regional and country offices, and implementing partners.
