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. Therefore, 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.

As funding for health shrinks and country budgets for immunization supply chains are dramatically cut, it is becoming increasingly important to demonstrate the impact that availability of potent vaccines make to overall health and broader economic goals. Linking the evidence of the availability of potent vaccines and an effective cold chain to reducing the zero-dose burden, increasing coverage, improving health outcomes and contributing to the economic outcomes of a country becomes an important lever to ensure that investments are made in the right places of the health system to ensure the greatest impact. There are also a multitude of different technologies with different purposes and utilities that governments can use to strengthen their immunization programmes. Some of these are excessively expensive and are not always justified in all contexts. A decision framework would be helpful to help governments navigate these decisions and decide on the system investments required when investing in new technologies in the supply chain.

In Bhutan, mental health concerns among children, adolescents, young people, and women are increasing, with anxiety and depression accounting for more than 55% of reported cases, followed by alcohol -related mental and behavioral disorders. In response, WHO and UNICEF launched the Helping Adolescents Thrive (HAT) Initiative, including evidence -based guidelines, an implementation toolkit, a teacher’ s Guide, and a Comic Book to promote adolescent mental health and socio -emotional learning.

Teachers observed that students felt more comfortable discussing their challenges, while parents and caregivers reported being better equipped to understand and support their children after participating in the programme. A major factor contributing to the pilot’s success was the adaptation of the resources to the Bhutanese context, particularly the comic book Magnificent Meto and Friends , whose relatable characters and storylines resonated strongly with adolescents.
