Since its establishment in 1946, UNICEF has relied on solid evidence to inform strategies, design interventions, and measure progress in advancing children’s rights. Today, as the world navigates complex challenges such as climate change, migration, pandemics, conflicts, and digital inequality, research has become more important than ever. By hiring skilled researchers, UNICEF ensures that its policies and programs are grounded in reliable data and rigorous analysis.
