Cooperation between SAARC and UNICEF

A Cooperation Agreement between SAARC and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) was signed on 10 December 1993. It envisages cooperation in implementing SAARC decisions relating to children through an agreed agenda that includes joint studies, exchange of documentation and monitoring of implementation.

In pursuance of the Cooperation Agreement, the Secretariat and UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia (ROSA) have been holding regular consultations which have helped advance progress in the implementation of SAARC directives on children including implementation of the decisions taken at the Ministerial Conferences on Children of South Asia held at New Delhi (1986), Colombo (1992) and Rawalpindi (1996).

The Secretariat was associated with UNICEF in the Twenty-fourth Annual Session of the high level Administrative Committee on Coordination/Sub-Committee on Nutrition (Kathmandu, 17-21 March 1997); the Regional Meeting on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls in South Asia (Kathmandu, 21-24 October 1997); "SAARC Meena Day" as part of the regional launch of Meena; the celebration of Girl Child Week on 22-26 September 1998; an inter-country Meeting on Polio Eradication (Kathmandu, 1-2 March 2000); and the Ministerial level South Asian Preparatory Meeting for the UN Special Session on Children (Kathmandu, May 2001).
