United Nations Children's Fund, formerly (1946-53) UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL
CHILDREN'S EMERGENCY FUND (UNICEF), special program of the United Nations
devoted to aiding national efforts to improve the health, nutrition, education, and
general welfare of children. UNICEF was created in December 1946 to provide relief to
children in countries devastated by World War II. After 1950 the fund's efforts were
directed toward general programs for the improvement of children's welfare, particularly
in less-developed countries as well as those in various emergency situations. The change
in the organization's name to the United Nations Children's Fund reflected
this shift in function. UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965.
Much of UNICEF's effort has been in fields in which relatively small expenditures could
have a significant impact on the lives of children, such as the prevention and treatment
of certain diseases and the distribution of surplus food. Other activities to which UNICEF
contributes include the development of health services and the training of health
personnel, the construction of educational facilities and the training of teachers, and
the extension of other welfare services. The activities are financed by both government
and private voluntary contributions. Headquarters are in New York City.
