The report calls on the global community to undertake five critical steps to protect a vital generation of children.

  • End violations of children’s rights;
  • Lift sieges and improve humanitarian access inside Syria;
  • Secure US$ 1.4 billion in 2016 to provide children with learning opportunities;
  • Restore children’s dignity and strengthen their psychological wellbeing; and
  • Turn funding pledges into commitments. UNICEF has received only 6 per cent of the funding required in 2016 to support Syrian children both inside the country and those living as refugees in neighbouring countries.
