Innovation

UNICEF Innovation is an interdisciplinary team of individuals around the world tasked with identifying, prototyping, and scaling technologies and practices that strengthen UNICEF’s work. We build and scale innovations that improve children’s lives around the world.

UNICEF Innovation works across three main areas:

Providing support to hundreds of global UNICEF innovation projects that may need new partners, technologies, or connections.
Development of and experimentation with new operational models, such as the UNICEF Fellows programme.
Looking at the 3-5 year future horizon for UNICEF – things that are coming but not yet ready: 3D printing, the future of transportation and identity, digital currency, and other future possibilities.
