UNICEF's Child Friendly Cities Initiative

The UNICEF Child Friendly Cities Initiative is a global program that helps cities become better environments for children and young people. It encourages local governments to involve children in decision-making, ensure safe and inclusive public spaces, and provide quality services like education, healthcare, and recreation. The goal is to create urban areas where children can thrive, feel secure, and have their rights respected. By working collaboratively with communities, officials, and families, the initiative promotes sustainable development that benefits children’s well-being and future.
