Inspiring meeting with UNICEF leaders from ESAR last week!

We discussed regional strategy, trends, climate change, community health and immunization. We also explored HR, leadership, and culture with Dep Reps.

'I've seen firsthand the support that we're providing to children and mothers. They need help. Currently, we're providing cash transfers. We’re screening children for malnutrition. We're providing health services and immunization,' Eva Kadilli, Regional Director UNICEF Africa.
